Cape Fair 11/25

I launched about 10 minutes after sun up. I ran up the James a ways and the water temp was 54.3 with good color/clarity. I threw a Lucky Craft jerkbait almost all day (5 hours). I had 3 keepers - 4 if you count the crappie -haha. I caught around 20 total with a few that came unbuttoned, one was a nice Smallmouth.  

Biggest was 4.4 (picture sucks - but you get the idea.) and another that was 2.15 and the last one was just a line toucher (no pic).

Loved every minute of it!!!

Very nice, I like hearing the JB is working.  I was thinking of trying one out next time, but I will throw one for sure.

We're going Saturday and Sunday.  Definitely try a JB.  Or, let me say, Champ188 will try one.    I'll probably be on a jig.

Agreed, for me at least two jig rods, 3/8 finesse and 1/2-3/4oz fb jig.

Nice fish cheese!

 Drug a green jig yesterday on wind blown 45 degree chunk rock banks around timber at 20 ft deep...the smallies would not leave it alone..  the Kentucky's seemed to be up on the bank more so...didn't find any big large mouth though

Cheese, nice pictures.  good information about the JB.  I might try one Monday afternoon in Long Creek if i get my chores done.
