18 Bass On The James This Evening

[Predator1]

Great evening on the James this evening put in at Delaware Town and in 2 hours caught 18 Bass before I had to get home to eat dinner.

7 LARGE MOUTH from 2-4lbs and 10 Smallies from 1-3lbs and 1 Smallie bout 4 1/2lbs. All caught on White/Chartruse Spinner baits and Watermellon Senkos.

My fishing buddy and I fiqured since the rain stopped and the water still look good along with the Barometric Pressure and the clouds we couldn't pass it up.

We took his Jet Boat out today. Man that sure beat all the Paddling I did Sunday.

Your on the right track. My fishing partner has a 18' aluminum wide boat with a 90HP Mercury. Just right for the rivers, we even used it on Table Rock 3 weeks ago for the first time. Just be careful on turns and watch out for canoes.

On the lakes we like to ride behind other boats if possible so we dont ride the waves, each time you go over a wave you loose momentum.

I have a 14' aluminum with a 15HP outboard, I have used it on the James only when the water was up. The outboards are really not the way to go on the rivers.

The JET BOATS CAN go through 3" of water at 40mph. Its awesome.....After a good run you want to tilt your motor and blow out your pump to keep sand from building up. Just make sure no one is behind you in the water when you do this. Thats lots of PSI's, lots of Force......Makes a heck of a Rooster Tail....The 90HP Shoots a rooster tail from one side of the river to the other....can sink another boat in a heartbeat.

Check out Sport Boat USA....those guys are some real top knotch guys.

Yea, last weekend with Tiny Torpedos...Silver with the black back......The Sun was out all day...casted in the shadows, let it sit for about 10 seconds, then started my jerk pattern...3 short jerks followed by 2 short jerks let it sit for few seconds and repeat.
