Hwy B bridge 3/11/16

First time posting here and my first time on the James. I pulled over on the bridge south of Northview at around 1:30. Sky was pretty much overcast and it was fairly windy. 

I caught some 10-12.5" smallmouth on a texas rigged senko and a watermelon roostertail. A few hard hits on a spinner by something white, I don't know if it was crappie or white bass. Then 2 grass carp and a channel catfish on dough balls. Nothing big but it sure beats getting skunked at Fellows.

I go up to Fellows a lot because I live pretty close but getting fish is hit or miss there. If you have a boat and can get to deeper water you'll have way better luck. It's pretty quiet right now, I'd wait til the water gets warmer.
