James river finally gives them up!

I didnt have long to fish today. 10am-1pm then off to work. I made good use of my time hauling in 50 crappie up to 15 inches. A 7 pound largemouth. lost a big striper and the biggest ring perch Ive ever seen in the James. Jigs tipped with minnows 2-7 feet deep in 3-10 FOW water was 61-62 degrees around 11 am. I was trolling 6 rods .4-.9 mph. LOVE the new terrova with Ipilot!!!!! I cant tell you have many fish I caught today useing the spot lock while tending the net,baiting hooks,untangling messes.Attachment 159781Attachment 159782Attachment 159783

Nice catch!

Nice bass and crappie

Nice day of catching.

Sweet! Congrats. Found a bunch of them Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. All holding tight to cover in 7' of water. All dark black. Biggest was 13". Most on minnow under cork. A few casting a pumpkinseed/chart grub.

Very respectable. You had to go to work to get some rest.:biggrin B-

Very nice catch.

really nice catch.

I cleaned the crappie this morning. About half of em had eggs. Next week is gonna be good!!!

I'm wondering if the really big girls are scattered in 1-2' of water waiting to bust. Might have to beat the banks like bass fishing. Did you catch them where we talked about?

The bigger ones came on my outside rods off small points. Usually caught smaller blacker ones on the rods that were closest to shore. I have about 28 feet of spread with 12 foot rods and I generally fished 10-30 feet off the shoreline.

Think im going back tomorrow if the wind dont blow too bad!

Sounds like a great day.

nice catch! bet you had a blast

Nice going Robbie, you got to love that new motor. I really love mine.
