Summertime spots

[Dutch]

I have set a goal for myself to learn to fish for the suspended KYs this summer.  When does this generally start and how far down the James would I need to go to start my search?

Does anyone have some screen shots of what I need to look for?

[Bill Babler]

They are out there now.  You can usually start at Cool Water Cove.

That is a place that I do not know.  How far down is it from Cape Fair?

The real name is Carney Branch. I would start right at the Marina and work south. You will find suspended fish on almost every point or secondary point on the entire lake. Give me a shout sometime and I will be happy to take you out.

Ken, I may make you up on that.  By the way, I am ready for your broken rod. Give me a shout.

Thanks.  We always called it JL’s Hollow or Carney Branch.  I‘ve never heard it called cool water cove.  I’d be honored to be shown some tips on this technique,

I have put new electronics on my rig hoping that I can find this bite that I have heard so much about over the years.

Would that be the same as Carney Hollow?

Probably though I have not heard it called that either.  It is on the same side just before buzzard.

[liphunter]

Yes Dutch, that is the spot I had in mind. Thanks, Mike

Went down this morning cruised around points and bluffs out to 90 feet from Carney to Piney.  Never saw more than 1 fish here and there.  I guess I was looking in the wrong places or don’t know what to look for.
