What a great experience!!…read more Stan responded nearly instantly, remained in contact and responsive with my questions up until the end when we boarded his boat. We had wanted to give a birthday gift of a fishing trip to grandpa and one of our kids and we're going to be in the area and we're so happy we found Blind Date Charters. The boat was great, we caught a bunch of fish and the kids and adults had a wonderful time. We did the 1/2 day which was perfect for our group considering we had kids. I highly recommend doing a charter with Stan. He was knowledgeable and so nice and we felt safe the entire time (former military/coast guard).

Within a few minutes, I receive an email response with "Please give me a call." No attempt to answer my questions. Why do businesses solicit customer questions by email if they have no intent to answer questions by email? I pinged them back that I was surprised by the lack of detail. I received another response that noted: "Figured a quick, immediate response was better than a detailed tonight." That was wrong...a quick/immediate response simply telling me to call accomplished nothing but annoying me. By the way, the "detailed tonight" email never came. When the business puts the burden on the customer to track down the business for answers, they may lose business. That happened in my case unless I decide to change my mind and track them down by phone for more info.

We arrived around 5:30pm and spent until about 7pm exploring all the walking paths. There is something here for everyone. There is a huge playground for little ones, there are paths for walkers/runners/dog walkers, and there were even a bunch of people fishing in the lakes. I love how child-friendly this park is. It felt like most of the bridges, benches, and other fun structures were made by girl or boy scouts. There is a huge parking lot so it's easy to drive to this spot. They also have very clean restrooms. We didn't go in to the nature center, but that was pretty too. I liked that this park had a lot to explore. The water was low enough at one section for us to go to a little island in the middle of one lake. While not all the trees have their leaves yet, I image this is even prettier when everything is in bloom. It was a very serene and lovely place to explore.

Three Lakes is a gem of a park not far from Richmond proper. I love walking here when I happen to…read morebe visiting a business or estate sale nearby and it has always been exceedingly pleasant. This place has plenty of parking, lots of playground equipment, and (as the name suggests) three small lakes to walk around. It's worth noting that the main lake (closes to the park entrance) is where fishing is permitted and has the newest/nicest path as well. The middle lake is enjoyable though is a bit rougher. The far lake was damaged in storms in the past so some of it is pretty rough but still enjoyable to explore. I make sure to hit all three lakes every visit, though if you want a nice clean experience, stick to the main lake. The nature center is nice but fair warning: it's pretty small and won't take more than 10-15 minutes to enjoy in its entirety. Still, the staff member there tends to be nice and there are a few small animals in the little displays there. If you want a fun place to walk (especially if you have kids who like playground equipment), this is a great spot to do it. Overall: 5.0 stars ---- Pros: - Beautiful walking spot. - Pleasant staff. - Lots of free parking. - Fun (if small) nature center. - Plenty of playground equipment for kids. Cons: - It would be great if they fully re-built the third lake, though I suppose the rugged nature of it is part of the charm.

We chase giant catfish, striper, drum, crappy and largemouth. The waters we fish are the Chicahominy river, York river, and James River depending on where the fish are biting. The boat we will be fishing on is a 21 foot seahunt ultra with a 200 Yamaha on the back. No fishing license required, my boat automatically license everyone who fishes off the boat. I only use fresh bait I catch before your charter begins to give you the highest chance on being successful. I will always do my best to make a memorable fishing trip that you or your party won’t forget.
