I’m trying to🤗 I still have a few trips in the books and some obligations to previous sponsors. 

I also have some guys here on the forum I’ve been putting off that I need to get out there, that I just love fishing with. 

It’s pretty tough right now with the gas. Just pull the boat to the ramp, fish and put it up and you have spent over $100.00. 

Last week I did have a couple of days of the best topwater I’ve had in years. Stayed up for over 3 hours 2 days in a row. 


 

You are the best! Your reports will be missed by many! Hope that you never abandoned this site! You have helped more fisherman than you can ever imagine!

Had the same thing early mornings this week - surge shad  and plopper.  Shad were so thick one morning I could hardly believe it.

Pete mentioned last week in his report the 6th. Sense Wake Shad. Theses have been out a while and discussed here. I just want to reiterate how well they work. 

That along with a 90 to 105 series Berkeley Chopo are really fool proof topwater fish catchers. 

We all have folks coming down that don’t fish much this time of year and those baits a really fool  proof.  Throw it out reel it in and don’t jerk and you have it. 

I have these set up on Medheavy 7’2” spinning rods with a good 2500/3000 series reel with 30/40/50 braid and your guests have a really easy way to catch them. 

Also doing fantastic on a 3/8th. Underspin up the James on the not as clear water. Clear water forget the spinner and just use a small swimbait really slow thru the bait or on the bottom. 

With this last rise we have caught some out of the bushes. Don’t go down a bank trying it. Points, secondary points and steep cuts. Your just wasting your time fishing down a bank. 

Water temps from 64 to 68 but rising. Shad and carp on the bank. Also got a report from a friend and his wife they are hammering the kitty’s on jig lines using perch. Channels and f. Heads. 

Good Luck.

I'm guessing it would be pretty easy to find the f. heads out there this weekend. 😆🤣

I knew that was a mistake when I did that 🤔🤔🤔🤔

You should know better than to give me half an opening.
