If I knew you were up there yesterday I would have meet up with you and give you a few lures to try. And if you ever there an see a green Chevy Malibu with a arrow as a antenna and a buck off sticker on the back window. That's me stop and say hi

Try floating the James river in galena I go there least once a month and float from the cox acess to James river outfitters place and catch some decent size smallies out of there

Hmm it all depends on I they want to bite I use grubs and jigs and but i slowley bring it up and let it drop and reel in the slack. And at first it was hard for me but I like to throw under logs and we're the rocks start to slop to deep water have caught a few good fish that way. Try the small minnow a red or green one. How I rig it and mc sports has this rig we're it's a small worm that had a blade on it and has a red bead I frogot what it's called but it works ready well. It's a red worm I know they have it I bought one the other day don't get the big worm use the small one

We're did you go? And I went to Crighton yesterday and didn't have luck but few bites but I was using a rooster tail I paicked up and I also got to meet mofloatjunkie as well he landed a huge goggle eye. And another one but idk how big it was

Very true hard to catch. Put very fun expecially the goggle eye. And mofloatjunkie I'm fixing to head down there now to do some bank fishing

Ya I can do that if I can figure it out or I can meet up with you in person and show you and give you some good lures that I use that will work

Green lures works really well

I use a small red minnow and rig it on a size 6 bait holder and put two sinkers on it about 5 in above the hook and reel it slowley to medium pace. near the bank and logs in the water and big rocks. I catch green sunfish google eye an small mouth that way and some small large mouth. And or I use a small grub rige the same way. If you want I can show you a few tricks if you want me to that will help you catch more

Looks like it has been eating very well

I grew up on the James it's an amazing river to fish. I love taking my little cousins out on it and teaching them how to fish and live off of the land and what it means to catch and release fish instead of keeping them

Sounds like you had a nice trip. Maybe I should start going with you more seems like your having more luck than me there. I have never caught any catfish out of there. Wish I was there to see that I bet it was a big fish. I have locked had of about a two pound largemouth out of there last year but it broke the line also right by the boat

Very nice fish an good to hear you had a great day on the water

Sweet let me know I saw some nice ones up river hiting too water but they wouldn't bite for some reason.

Went down to Crighton today from 11 to 3:30 ended up waking from the cu water thing down to first area you can park at near the water thing. I caught one small mouth about 14in right by the bank as I was fixi to take the lure out or the water and I caugh some blue gill and green sunfish. And one google eye. They we're a caught on a small red fake minnow. I released everything I caught. Tight lines everyone

Welcome

I agree the last few times I have been there I haven't got any luck but couple of sun fish but there is a nice hole down river but got to have a canoe or kyak to get to it

I went to sherif field lake last night at the boat ramp and was doing a little catfishing and well didn't even get a bite. Then I decided Do do a little night bass fishing and on my second cast I landed a 18in largemouth. Man he put up a nice little fight and righ befor I got him to the bank I saw him jump out of the water but thy was the bass of the night if I ha a boat I bet I could have caught some more. Did see a few more jump across the lake. Over all it was a good trip. If I knew how to upload pics from my iphone I would post one of that bass. Tight lines everyone and hope you have some good luck

I'm usually always down there after work also If I see you guys I will say hi

Very nice what was you using and I was there yesterday afternoon and didn't catch anything

I might have to go try that place

Try springfield lake at the fishing docks or up at the old bridge I have caught some keeper bluegill out of there this year

Nice report I was there this after noon and had the same luck I caught a few largemouth around the water Inlate thing up river and Caught one small mouth on the way up and it was about 9in and also a few keeper bluegill but I releases them all like always

Water level was a little down. We had a cooler and my tackel box an two people and only drug 3 times. Once was just past cox exit and then aginan little was befor Kerr and right after Kerr about 1/4 mile into it befor it bends

I have fished that same area last year down river and got a couple of fish I really had to walk a bit but it wa worth it. If you could walk that all the way down to Crighton you will have some luck fishing it

I floated from cox to jro today I launched at all and right off the bat had some bites. I landed only two small mouth in the boat one was 8 in and the other was about 10 in. I did have a problem were they would hit it and let it go. I did lock hold of what was a decent size small mouth but got off the hook right at the canoe. I also caught a 12 in large mouth bass. While I was stoped to fish I saw a good size gar come up to the top of the water a few times. I also saw a dead one up by the bank maybe 200 yards down river. My girlfiend also caught a bunch of bluegill and sunfish. It was a great day of fishing and a great day to be on the water. I'm really hoping I will have more luck next weekend and actually land the ones I missed.
