Cape Fair January 18, 2019

[Dutch]

I was hoping to find the fish were I found them last Tuesday.  Nope not a bite.  So I headed up river.  We fished up in the James.  The water was 48° every where we went compared to 50°-54° last week.

The first place I stopped I caught a keeper greenie on an A rig.  No more bites on it so I switched to a worm and my pard went to a jig.  We both caught fish but the worm was catching more so he switched.  We caught 24 more then tried the A rig again.  We picked up 7 more on it (a keeper spot, keeper brown fish and keeper green fish).  That bite died so we went back to the worm bank and caught 3 more.   We wound up with 35 bass, (1 keeper spot, 4 keeper smallmouth and 3 keeper largemouth).

I had hoped for a bite before the weather change and I found it.

I like to launch from Cape Fair, how far up river did you go to have this success? I usually go south towards the main lake looking for active sites.

We stayed below Carr's on this trip.  I went up for less wind and I had been on fish 10 prior.
