Monday

[Bill Babler]

9guide trips from point 7 on the White to point 18 and point 7 on the white to point 12 on the James.

All of us did pretty much the same ranging from about 15 to 25 fish and from 3 to 10 keeper size ga-loompers.

Before my triip I hit a couple of points in Aunts Creek in the mud, and caught two keepers and then picked up the guys. 8 spinnerbait fish in the creek with 6 keepers, in the first 2 hrs. Then fished up to point 18 and continued to catch fish in the range of from shorline to about 22 ft. on a shaky Head.

My total for the day was 22 fish with 8 keepers including a 4.5 pound LM and a 3.5 pound spot. Only 1 SMJ. the rest of the boys, doing the same thing , about the same results.

Beck had 8 keepers on a stickbait and Tetrick had nine on a grub.

Water temps reached 60 today in the James, but it was really tough because of the wind, just brutal.

I was running my new fourtrax Minn-cota at 90 and it would just make grond. I am physicaly exhausted, after this 8 hr. trip.

Took 2 sets of waves over the bow, and it was all from wind.

Good Luck out there

so you want to get paid to fish? think I'll stick with the steady gig.

I think we're all worn down as much as our boat batteries. But it was a fun day fishin' out there. Paige said he's a dose of all this wind latley, me too. I love the wind blown banks but it can get too wild sometimes and seems like we've been getting plenty. Let's see if we can get a nice little 5-10 m.p.h. tomorrow enough to catch some without a rogue waves coming over our boats.
