James river is pretty quiet, if we don't get any rain it will be low in July but so will all the other rivers. http://www.google.co...hAdgxmaJ9oT3hJw These guys are a pretty good rental outfit your cars will be in a locked campground at night so there is not a big chance of vandalism and they have showers and bathrooms for when you get done with your float which is pretty nice after a 2 day.
-
That car was about half way up that hill for years caught in the trees, nice eye sore now and not really any way to get it out.
-
you could do the james, Hootentown to Galena is 22mi with lots of good smallies. outfitter number http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=james%20river%20outfitters&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CG8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jamesriveroutfitters.com%2F&ei=TamxT8qPMIGC2wXi_oivAQ&usg=AFQjCNHvAAjU_9E7IK9hAdgxmaJ9oT3hJw

not really, for a few days i was catching a limit or close to it but then the water came up and they just quit.
-
yea they are done i have picked up a few stragglers but no more then one or two in a day.
-
I have been fishing down around V highway and Galena area and been doing pretty good on anything crayfish and hula grubs. I haven't made it up to Hootentown yet though, I will probably make the Hootentown to galena float soon though before it gets to hot.
-
its that time of year channels get pretty aggressive in the spring time, they will hit about anything
-
i found one last year around crane island, was a fiber glass v bottom with a windshield it had a piece of tape on it that said if it floats its yours. so i floated it down to galena took it home and sold it for $125, i say if its still there next time you float you should do the same lol
-
i did pretty good on 3 inch pumpkin green crayfish and hula grubs yesterday, and as for the fly rod i used it for a while when the wind died down, i did pretty good on big green wooly bugger's and and i got a new pb smallie (right at 21 inches) for a fly rod on an articulated streamer i made out of some big zonker strips and ice dubbing
-
if you can find them shad entrails work really well the sell them frozen in jars, they have shad sides too but i have always done better on the entrails.
-
I personally like to fish the lower James anything below Hooten Town access, The places i like to go are Wheeler Branch, H.L Kerr access and even the Y bridge in galena is pretty good Smallie water. Some lures I have with me 100% of the time I fish the James. Zara Spook Jr. frog color. Yamamoto hula grubs in dark colors and earth tones. and 3 inch Salt craws in pumpkin and green pumpkin.

if you take a float from cox ford (with JRO i don't think the others have access to cox) just about a mile or two down is where crane creek dumps into the james, i have never fished it for trout down that far but i have picked up a few by mistake just a little ways up the creek

if it happens again just let them keep on doing it but let them cast first then you throw a few feet behind them let that guys bait trigger the bite and then yours will be a little closer to the fish, works sometimes and its funny to see how aggravated a guy gets when he fishing 3 ft away from another guy who is catching all the fish.
-
i think they are the same at trot lines gotta have your name on them and no more then 32 hooks in the water at one time
-
I dont think so, table rock has a lot of good cats in it, i usually do pretty good around cane bottom ( walnut springs) and longs camp, last year my big ones were 63lb flat head and a 46lb blue. got them both just above walnut springs on big perch
-
idk man the fishing has been strange this year, even if the spawn is over i usually catch them in late may-june on their way back to the lake, i will probably just start going after catfish now.
-
i haven't been doing any good on whites lately in the past 10 days i have picked up 4-5 usually 1 a trip right at dark. i have been catching a few crappie and small mouth though.
-
i got a nice flat head last night, about 10lbs or so really fat i looked like she was full of eggs so i put it back, and got 4 more 2-3lb channels for dinner all off 2-3 inch dead sucker minnows. hit them all at the corner just before the rock bank in Mccord bend.
-
very cool. Added to my bucket list.
-
buy some minnows hook them through the lips, great for bobbers.
-
this time of year you could no problem but if you wait till later on in the summer there is a few places you would have to drag.
