Cape Fair 6/24

[cheesemaster]

I got out this morning about 2 hours before sun up  and was pretty disappointed in my results the first 2 hours. Skunked. I threw a jig and a black spinner. Water temp 79.

When the sun got up just enough to see the bushes I threw a Buzzbait and did real well number wise. I probably had close to 30 with 2 keeps that were 16 to 17 inches long. Also had a couple good blowups with no hookups.  By 9:00 I was throwing a jig again and caught around 12 more on it - but no keepers on it. Lost 2 keepers at the boat on the Buzzbait. Off the water at 10:45. Stupid people started showing up in groves. 

Came across these 2 little raccoons that were too hungry to care that I was around. Sure were cute little boogers.  Never saw momma coon. You never know what your going to see out here, maybe that's why I love it so much!!!

That's a pretty good bite you found Cheese.  First good TW bite I've heard of in a while.

Started at Virgin Bluff and I went up the James past point 15 about 1.5 miles but the buzzbait fish came down river from point 15. Jig fish came up from 15.

Did you fish main lake or coves? I think we only had one fish out on the main lake near a point on a jig. All others came around stress in the shade. ~

Mostly main lake, went into 2 coves and 1 of them was dead and the other I caught 5 or so.

I didn't notice if that ramp was open. I fished that bank directly across from there but never even looked.
