Hey Freddy
Burke Lake in Fairfax county used to rent rowboats a loooong time ago but I don't know about now. Was back in the mid 70's last I fished there. Good crappie fishing as I recall.
The Rappahannock has some monster blue cats, but you need a boat to get to em. Even a kayak will do. Check Tractor Supply for those. Also some snakehead action from what I hear. We launch out of Hopyard boat ramp. We fish for eating size blues and channels. There are bass, but I don't fool with em.
Tight lines!

I hear they are some very large blue cats around fredaricksburg va. Haven’t ever been there but you might want to research it some.
Try the Rappahannock River and Lake Anna.

Yes as I said, Hopyard Farm boat ramp. Deep holes up current from logs and fallen trees. Cut bait.

Yup. 12266 Old Wharf road. Coming down 3 east from Fredericksburg turn right on Port Conway road, its about a mile down on the right.

There a small dock and a bulkhead that you can fish from. There's a ramp but nothing else.

I've caught plenty of catfish from the bulkhead...just watch out for snags!

Good morning fishing buddies! I currently live in Culpeper County ,Virginia I work in Fauquier. I personally enjoy pond fishing, small lake fishing, trout, bass, whatever else is edible :-) large catfish have been elusive to me for a number of years, but at age 55 I'm not quite ready to give up yet.

River, lake or pond recommendations nearby? No boat...yet!
Freddy - Lake Pelham down your way has always been productive for me and my son. No bank access but you can rent canoe or yak.
