Thanks for the updated info.

Forgot to update with the roe&worm report. Lots of eggs still and only 1 worm in the 9 I kept. This is the first time in awhile I have kept fish from the James.

Pictures and video, nice job! Cute daughter.

those fish on the james will spawn well up into the 70's I came across them after other lakes had been done ....the rockfish will be catchable into the 80's
and those are where I first saw the WORM in the rockfish....but I still go and get em till I am tired of reeling them in....two years ago may 16 took my 24' seasprite out and we caught 54 non over 30" but made for a group of tired men...

You catch rocks like that around Osborne? I saw two guys out there in a bay boat looked like they was trolling with outriggers.
