Fished the James all day, caught 17 with 4 keepers.   Caught all keeps cranking and caught 2 shorts on jerk.  Fished from mouth of flat creek down almost to hideaway.  Just one here and one there.   Caught them on wart as well rk.  Brown and mo craw.  Good to see you Cheese and talk awhile, have s good New Year everyone. Sprint and I are at it tomorrow at Baxter, if you're out and see a blue and gray Phoenix come by and say hi.

Those fish are in trouble!

I saw two boats that match description one was catching spots on crappie jigs and the other one launched at the same time as my wife and I.  Were you one of them?

[Fishrman]

Yes that was me Dutch.  Next time I see you I'll stop by and talk a little longer.   There sure were several boats up in that area today. 

[Fishrman]

Sorry Dutch I was the one launching right after you.

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°.
