Xmas afternoon

[Fishrman]

Went out for an little while this afternoon.   Went to aunts and ran up the river.  Caught 4 cranking channel swings,cranking keepers. Nothing big just keepers.  WT 54.

Was curious if the bite was the same up the James!

I didn't get to far up the river.   But very similar to what you have been seeing just didn't catch as many.   Need to go up above cape I think. Or at least above wooly.

I’m not much of a crank baiter but I did fish a rk on a channel bank above Wolly.  It has given me fish every time I try it.  The crank got one hit and a hookup that came unbuttoned.  It was a dink.  I fished the same bank and got 6 on Zeros.  They were deeper than the rk could attract them.

 I fished 5 hours and caught 16 on Zeros and TRDs.  I found fish from 6’ deep on gravel points to 20 something on steeper stuff.  Only 2 were keepers but I haven’t been for 10 days and I will take it.  Cape Fair looked like a holiday weekend.  There were 8 boats within a half mile of the dock cove.  The surface temp was 53°.
