Champ188 Posted November 29, 2008 Posted November 29, 2008 Made a little run up the road Friday. Donna G and I got to SK bridge around 9 a.m. and fished til dark. Not as much action as I expected on the ol' spinnerbait but did get this one green one on it (pictured). Donna caught some funny-lookin' brownish-colored yankee fish (also pictured) that is rumored to be legal at weigh-ins. If that's the case our best five weighed around 19 lbs, best six around 22. FB jig outproduced spinnerbait and Wart by far. Despite pretty solid cloud cover all day, just not quite enough wind for the latter two. Oh well, git-r-done however you have to. Caught 25-30 total with 15 keepers. Sure be nice to catch em like this when it counts for once, like next Saturday in the CPA team tournament out of Ahoy's.

edwin Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I was able to fish today from crack of dawn till the light went away. Fished the James River between Pt 9 and 12. I had a half dozen keepers out of 17 total, with only one LM being a pretty solid fish at 4.2lbs. PBJ jig was the most productive, however I did catch a few on the Wart, a couple spinnerbait fish, and even two on an old favorite...the Bill Dance spittin shad topwater bait. I couldn't get any of the deeper fish to bite...most came in 15-20' of water back in the creeks. Wind really helped as well. "Advantages are taken, not handed out"
Champ188 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 Edwin, Not surprised at all by those topwater bites. With the water temp still in the mid to upper 50s (at least it was Friday although it is now snowing to beat the band outside my window on Sunday morning), I was tempted to put on a buzz bait Friday but never did. Glad you got in a daylight-to-dark trip. Amazing how short a day can actually be when you're on the water.
champ187xr6 Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 James, Looked like a productive day. Good Luck next weekend!
Champ188 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Posted December 2, 2008 James, Looked like a productive day. Good Luck next weekend! Thanks much, Champ187xr6. This is our last tournament before Donna G goes in for kidney cancer surgery three days later so sure would be nice to win it. No matter the results, it'll be nice to be on the water together.
