yaknar Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I've been out twice since my last post but with the river up and rolling... I caught fish but not a lot and nothing big. Two Saturdays ago I went, when that pop up storm, popped up. It probably rained and the wind blew harder on me than anytime I been in a kayak on the river. I didn't know if it was better waving my aluminum paddle in the air or hide under the trees on the bank and getting hit by falling limbs.... I got out Friday and floated to Delaware. And I did get the waders out because I'm a woose and it was cold. There is a tree across the river down from Nelson Mill bridge. I tried a lot for lures but the one I caught the most on was a crankbait that dives 12ft. When I took out a Delaware the were no cars or trucks in the lot. River is still to fast and high for me but I think its the new normal. Had a great time on the river. Took pictures of a few and released them all... Dougie, Mofloatjunkie and Flysmallie 3
Flysmallie Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 You are the cat catching machine. That white is up there a ways isn't it. Where do you put in at to float to Delaware?
slab slinger Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Those are some pretty fish. The small jaw on the gravel is a nice one. The white must not be a boy scout, think he's lost a bit. Looks like you had a decent trip good mix of fish. Glad to hear a report. Thanks for info.
Mofloatjunkie Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Nice report. My brother caught a lost white a couple weeks ago as well. I second flysmallie where did you put in?
yaknar Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 I put in at Nelson Mill Bridge. I don't park my truck there, my wife drops me off.... you just have to pull your kayak through a couple patches of poison ivy, then under the bridge there's about a ten foot drop off. And did I mention the snakes and gators..... Dougie, Mofloatjunkie and Flysmallie 3
Mofloatjunkie Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 yeah you definitely have watch out for those James river gators. They are brutal.
