ozarkgunner Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 No smallies in the James! Angler At Law
Members captain4ever Posted February 27, 2013 Members Posted February 27, 2013 I have literally seen thousands while scuba diving at the rock, along with Kentucky, Largemouth and so on ..They are all very inquisitive down under.
dtrs5kprs Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Maybe we will give it a spin then. Although, I really don't know when I am going to pull it off before August. Seems like something going one every weekend till then. Any flat gravel going out into the lake (points, flats...the old inside turns) from HWY13 to the dam should have brown fish. Wind helps. Bait helps. FB jigs, smoke grubs, and dragging a tube are hard to beat. Shallow in am, and move out towards 30' under the boat with the sun coming up. Maybe a little deeper later in the summer. They will get up surprisingly shallow and feed. Seems like there are always some brown fish on these kinds of places. They may not jump like they do in skinny running water, but there are plenty of 16"-19" fish, with a real shot at 4#-5# fish, and feeling them pull for 30' of water is a thrill of its own.
exiledguide Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 You may be able to do smallies in TR proper as well as do a float/river smallie trip on the Kings or the James. Danger! Warning!! If you are on the James beware of cougars.
dtrs5kprs Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Danger! Warning!! If you are on the James beware of cougars. I thought most of the cougars were at The Landing.
exiledguide Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I thought most of the cougars were at The Landing. Most are but beware of gravel bars with chaise lounges and coolers nearby cougars will be lurking nearby.
Outside Bend Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Danger! Warning!! If you are on the James beware of cougars. I tend to imagine JD packs enough heat at any given moment to deal with any nuisance wildlife <{{{><
Members drp shot dandy Posted February 28, 2013 Members Posted February 28, 2013 No doubt there is a good number from the 13 bridge to the dam we also have caught a good number and size from baxter to shell knob

exiledguide Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Don't forget that clan of inbreds cougars between Galena and Hootentown they especialy like fly rod boys
