There are three places to put in with a kayak or canoe in the Occoquan. The first is the easiest. It is at the park but it is also the furthest paddle and it costs $5.
The next place, and the one I use the most, is under the 123 bridge. There is a parking lot and you just load your kayak down the gravel. It isn't too bad of a paddle but it is easier to load and it is free. No one has ever given me any problems
The last place is under the foot bridge. I use this from time to time, especially if the wind is blowing strong. It is not as easy to load the kayak down the hill but I have been using this access more and more if I am fishing the back of the Occoquan because it is a much shorter paddle. I also tend to fish the back of the river the most.
Last year I managed to catch two shad, a huge channel catfish, various other smaller catfish, a bunch of bass, bluegill, crappie, a snakehead, and a few stripers. It is a good place to fish and I live very close.
Let me know if anyone wants to fish this area in the future.

Has anyone caught or seen snakehead feeding in a tidal flow such as Gravely Point? From the little understand they seem to be more up in vegetation than in current.--Just curious as I think about fishing on another cold day. Come on spring!
