James River
My fishing buddy and I thought we would give the James River a try. I heard dragging minnows under slip corks was the way to go. We caught 15 crappies, 15 white perch, a five pound cat, and a 14 inch striper. Five of the crappies were over 12 inchs. I was wondering if the members on the board had better luck with plain hooks or jigs when fishing this method.
Thanks, Steve

Welcome, Snafu. Five fish over 12" is a lot better than what I have been doing. Good job!

Welcome, good to have you here.Nice report, sounds like a good day.

Welcome to CC! Its been a very unusal spring for many here. Any day on the water is a good day!
-
nice report...how deep were you fishing and was curious what boat ramp?
-
We had the lines set from four to six feet and most of the water was ten or eleven feet deep. We put in at Dutch Gap

BTW, I have used both-- hooks and jigs. Road runners jigs under bobbers worked GREAT last spring at Beverdam, but not at all at littlecreek. (don't know why?)
I perfer to use lightwire gold hook and minnows on my slip bobbers
