Whats this jigfest all about?

Not right what they did but told fing bull$hit felony.

saw an impressive craw down there as well. Going to have to do some investigating to match my lures though im sure its not that big a deal. However never hurts to match the local forage.

I thought i remember reading you drove a white malibu and your down there oftenish so kinda fit together. Thats kinda what i thought it might be, but i didnt really see the point in having so many.

So made my first trip to check out this access this evening. First impressions looked like a great place to hangout, BBQ, and just relax. I decided to head down there after buying my first ugly stick this afternoon. i wanted to get out and beat the water a little bit and get a feel for it to decide on buying another. it was the GX2 which came recommended by a fishing buddy of mine. The rod seems fine however i just tossed a little grub around on a 1/0 cast pretty decent. The thing im not sure about is the 2 piece design. living in my truck its kinda nice being able to stick it behind the seat but only time will tell once i hook something to the other end. Anyway i temped the water right off the bank came in at 47ish(not digital). Ran into Jbooth down there i believe didnt say anything ya looked busy. well just posting to post really but do have one question. The black tube deals hanging off the tree on the east bank, what is it just curious?

Thank you guys thats very helpful and appreciated greatly.

Im sure i could get used to sitting while i fish. Iv just never really had a reason to sit. Those leanin post type seats iv often considered giving a try in the boat. Time to teach myself something new.

That sounds awesome ill definitely be getting in touch with you. if the conditions are where you like don't be afraid to contact me either. also what water level do you like or think is best. back on the jacks fork i like it down around 1.5'. ill fish it no matter but find that to be optimum for fishing plus keeps a lot of floaters home to much dragging i guess .

Maybe im just being a wuss and afraid to stand up in the cheap ones lol. they just dont seem deep or wide enough for fishing. Also it was kind of a sticker shock thing when i looked up fishing kayak. Blew my mind to see a $1000-2500 kayak though had to literally laugh out loud. Ill be watching Craigs but demand must be high the prices on the used fishing yaks is still more then i can afford at this time. Or want to for that matter.

Great thank you very much.

Yea i was talking to a guy at school and he said it was to muddy to get through on foot. but all those lay downs and holes are calling my name. ill find a way in there as long as im not getting threats and having to worry about getting shot at. I considered buying a kayak for the summer but i might as well just buy a bass boat for what those things cost. Granted that dosnt help me get in there but fishing on foot has always produced the best results for me on small rivers like that. thanks for the reply.

I was thinking of fishing KK to the lake this summer in 2 mile stretchs wading. it looks like it would be great reminds me of the fishing im used to atleast from the sat imaging. only thing that worries me is the abundance of houses along the river. Im sure its safe and never really take this into consideration. is this a no fish zone to outsiders? Also this is the upper James i'm talking about right or does that refer to another location? Thanks in advance.

I didn't see if you had already said but what size motor you running? 60/40?

In regards to the james river level near springfield. Where is the meter actually located? Im trying to put together my game plan for this summer. However i may not have a clue what im doing, but it looks like it has alot of smallie and goggle eye potential. Thank you guys for any responses!
