I should be at Eastland Saturday

I might try to go to County line this weekend if the ramp is still open. Fishing should be good.

[BassKat1]

I plan on running that way.

Is Eastland Creek ramp open, plan on going there this weekend.

[BassKat1]

Yes it has been.

[Va Phoenix]

I went to Eastland Creek last Saturday. It was almost full at 7:30 in the morning. Only about five or six spots left. Might want to get there early in case it's like last week.

[javelin90]

Was there a tournament or other ramps closed?

[crank68]

I put in at ivy hill yesterday and it was crowded to say the least...heard there was a small tournament...?

[javelin90]

Ended up at Anna. Was like a washing machine.
Lol

North Carolina has limited access on their boat ramps so the NC guys are all fishing from the Virginia ramps which keeps them pretty busy on weekends now.

[GamblerPro2]

Ramp @ North Bend is now open.

[javelin90]

Good, I'm planning on going Friday. Not sure what to throw as it has been a while since I have fished there.

[GamblerPro2]

301.45 and dropping

[javelin90]

I'm guessing by Friday it will be near 299.7
