    Default 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.Name: bass.jpg Views: 552 Size: 66.5 KBName: crppi.jpg Views: 482 Size: 54.5 KBName: schoolcrappie.jpg Views: 485 Size: 112.4 KB

    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. B-

    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?
