Members bluetick1 Posted April 23, 2014 Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 Im pre fishing a tournament and would like to spend some time in the James river the 1st day of practice. We're staying around the Kimberling city area . What is the best ramp to trailer over to? Would it even save fuel by doing so...? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

dblades Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 If your trailering anyway, I'd go to Cape Fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluetick1 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 Great! Thanks a bunch for the advice everyone! My next question is I havent heard much about the fishing, water temp, clarity, etc up the james river or if its even worth pre fishing it for a tournament? The last time i fished it we did real good in the piney creek area but that was springtime 4 yrs ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDSOXWSCHAMP Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 flat creek ramp is good too, a little steep but not bad. fishing in flat creek a couple years ago caught a nice 6.5lb spot from the dock directly across from flat creek ramp. there is also a sand bar at pt. 15 that i have caught several good smallmouth.

Members gone fishn Posted April 23, 2014 Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 Started at bridgeport at about noon, water 66 alittle stain, went up flat creek water a little muddy caught a lot on wart . Fished up james to ashers only 3 bites. Worked back down with warts split shot and floating worm. ended with 70 bass 11 keepers but 2.5 was big bass so no big fish but was a bad day for big fish. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
