troutgnat Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Gentlemen, I almost don't want to post this because it's just SICK but 100% true! Wednesday I launched in the James River Arm at daybreak and fished all day until dusk. I was blessed to have boated 41 bass with 6 being over 3 lbs. My best 5 would have gone around 16-17 lbs. I had two kicker fish a 4.8 and a 4.5. The picture is of the 4.8. She had a small buffet of craws in her gullet. Hopefully, that just gave way to what the bite was. Ah, well, yes, all 41 fish were on the WART!!! The water is wart perfect up in the James! I never had the boat in more than 10' of water and all fish were caught at the 6-8' range scrubbing that wart on the bottom with a good slow steady and pause retrieve. They "gullet" eat the wart and you will feel the take! They are on the bank and pea gravel helps. The water in the James is stained with about 2' visibility. Average water temp was 50 degrees but by end of day I did find 55 degree water and then some. Darren Sadler "Fishing is an Education...Often the fish 'school' me, yet I do not complain. I just keep going to class!"
