Re: Kerr dam

Thanks for the help, we are leaving va beach for the weekend. Is there a decent tackle shop near by ?

Re: Kerr dam

I guess from VAB you'll be coming 58W. The road you turn left down to go to the dam, there is a convenience store on the corner that has bait and some tackle.

If you go further down 58 towards the bridges, there will be a big gas station area to your right, and there is a very good tackle shop there.

Perhaps some of the locals can give names. I just know where they are.

Re: Kerr dam

the best store is just before the dam,it is called drift wood on the right,they are catching some now on shad and chicken livers,are you going to be camping if so what site.

Re: Kerr dam

How did that turn out?
