Anyone fish here or more specifically kayak fish here? Checked out the ramp today on 301 as I was driving past. Looks like no motors allowed and 2 dollar ramp fee. Can anyone give information about the bass, crappie and catfish there? Thanks!

From Google Map the tail race looks fishy as well.

That dam/waterfall? It's about 50 yards from the ramp. It's only about a mile off 264.

I fished out there back in the day probably 20 years ago with sucess if i remember correctly...definitely still looks very fishy and i dont think its ever really crowded either

Looks like you could put a boat in at the dam though. Not sure if it's like most of these types of fisheries, they'll let you fish with a motorized boat, as long as you don't crank the outboard.

It looks like a bigger Tull's Mill pond a little to me.

Curtis Pelt may know something about this lake. That could be the one I saw on the way to Curtis M&G last year at Wilson.

I know he fishes Buckhorn lake some.

I've fished there all my life since I only live about 20 minutes from there. It's a pretty good spot, never really gets too crowded. I usually fish there for crappie but there are plenty of bass, catfish, brim out there too. Tons of structure to cast to. I'll help as much as I can if you have any specific questions.

Is that the place next to Bill Ellis?

 

[roostertail24]

Not far at all nats dad.

Zblackz28 To use a kayak is there just a 2 dollar ramp fee? I saw a sign about boat permits. What is that?

 

[FishinCary]

Cast some tandem crappie jigs around the channel on the bottom side of the dam in the next few weeks. Could get crappie but also should get a good number of shad.

 

[zblackz28]

As far as I know it's just a few bucks to put any kind of boat in there and fish, I can't remember if it's $2 per person or per boat. I think it would be a great place to fish by kayak.

I realize this is an older post but i thought i would give it a try , ive fished the mill from the bank but never from a kayak , just getting into it this year, my question : is it possible to maneuver the other side of the dam to be able to go down contentnea creek and back ?

Current has a few spots that you will have to get out, get in and pull and get wet coming back. My advice...............just fish from the bank. I have no idea what it's like down past the golf course though.................for 200 yards below the dam it gets pounded hard by the usual suspects. There are better spots.
