It's thick with big bass and snakeheads. You can rent kayaks there or launch your own. I usually save the money and wade all the way around to the first feeder creek in Kanes creek. You can walk the shore line almost all the way there and it is only about 3 feet deep 50 yards off shore.
I tie a heavy dumbbell eye with a 2 inch long piece of olive rabbit strip trailing off the hook. A fast retrieve does the trick. Oh, and 15-20 pound mono is usually strong enough for both their teeth and the weeds/Lilly pads. The bigger fish seem to be in shallower water there.
Also, it is one of my favorite places to fish on NOVA because it is easy to get to and so pretty.
I have, however, had a 4 foot water snake swim up and over my kayak. Was also the first time I fell out of a boat. The area is thick with copperheads too. Usually no threat.
