Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Hey has any body ever heard of anyone catching crappie on the James? Or is that just one of those old wives tails you hear about? I’m looking to catch a couple to put in a pond. White or black, I don’t care. Size, I don’t care. I’m sure if there is crappies in the James there are no big ones. What about Flathead? The smaller the better or what ever, I’m just looking for a few fish for the pond to eat the crappie. I’ll use this info starting next spring so if you have found fish at sometime note what time of year you had contact and where. At least about where, give me a close point of contact to start looking. Thanks for sharing and add your fishing story about your catch if you want. I’m sure there are locales out there that are good enough at fishing to become river guides. Are you one? Show us what you know! Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!
Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 Is there not a champion among you? Is there not one crappie master out there? Out of the 40 views where is the one brave enough to speak? Have some MF courage! Sing along! (To the tune of Under Dog) Ooooh whaaa ooooh aaaah oooh aaaah ooooh When looking at an empty plate There is no time to hesitate So help us out and be a mate You’re the one the best the great Show yourself it is your fate Before the fish move and it’s too late Tell us all who wait and wonder Where they go when deep down under So even though you’re not a singer And have to type with just one finger It’s easier than Jerry Springer The pride you’ll feel will last and linger So hold your head high and be now sworn To lead the way, for which you were born Show us the path well used and worn It’s time to rise and blow your horn You’re the man A crappie man LOL Somebody tell us where you have caught at least one crappie before. Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!
smallmouthjoe Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 If i knew where you could find crappie on The James or The Finley, I would tell you. I don't fish for them sorry, most people don't want anyone catching their crappie because most guys keep them.
RSBreth Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I caught one right here once - about 5 years ago...

Daveinozark Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 i had my eye on that spot. I put in at the dam once before to try and get there but it was too shallow to get that far down at the time and the current was strong. You know what my next question is going to be: is there a spot to pull over off of the road there or is the dam the only put in?
Buckshotdad1960 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks smallmouthjoe, You’re my only friend! LOL At this point I’m not even convinced that there are any crappie in the james or finley! I really don’t expect anyone to openly tell me where they are but since I only need a few I look for someone to PM me and share a spot or two. Tell a thousand funny jokes and no one remembers! Tell one bad one and no one forgets!

So your not a good sport or don’t have a sense of humor. That’s ok, no crime there, thank goodness no one owns the forum and the guy who post 1 time has just as much right to be here as the guy who just made his 1,000th post. OzarkAnglers.Com Forum > Ozark's Rivers, Streams & Creeks > James River -5lb smallie on the james Oviously you feel you own the river too. At the very least I think its safe to say your not willing to share the river or its resources. So at this point I’m wondering why now you would want to share a map with me to a spot that is again oviously hard to get to and hard to get back from and will no doubt yeild nothing for my effort? Your too kind but I think I’ll pass. Thanks for being a nice person and a buddy. Have a nice day.
