Finally A Good Spoon Fish On The James!

[magicwormman]

I only fished for a hour yesterday afternoon and was rewarded with a pretty decent spoon fish (5.3 lbs and my 2nd largest of the year). I did offer to take my bride with me, but she declined, telling me that I haven't been a very good guide lately. I warned her that every time she doesn't go along, I usually catch fish. I only managed 1 crappie, 1 whitebass, and the 5.3 lb LM, but for 1 hour of fishing I was very happy. The LM came on a white spoon vertical jigging in 25 feet of water on the first drop. I was fishing a flat point close to the main channel. Now that will get you pumped up. I actually saw a few whites chasing shad and managed to catch one 16 incher before they went back down. That's the beauty of living on the water (I feel sooooo blessed to live on this beautiful lake) you can be on the water and fishing in minutes.

Not very skilled taking a selfie.
