Any VA people here that have fished the Mattaponi? I saw alot of bass boats out on the river and I was thinking about going up there to fish since it aint to far from home. I was gonna put the boat in at the ramp off of Walkerton Road ( dont know the name of the ramp ).

They were probably catfishing.  The Mat isn't all the great from what I understand.   From the 2009 Bass Outlook report from the DGIF...

6 Mattaponi: Very low bass catch rates during electrofishing surveys, with the highest catches of largemouth concentrated from just above Aylett to several river miles downstream of Walkerton. In the short-term, anglers should not expect big things of largemouth from this river.
