It's been awhile since I gave a report or even got on the forum to check out other's reports.  This time of year I generally have the boat on the trailer and go to my favorite spots on the James or way up by 3M.  This year I decided to keep the boat in my slip in the Indian Point area.

I have been fishing at least 4 days per week but only for a couple hours each time - generally in the early morning or late evening.  The boat being in the slip is nice in that I can fish just short periods of time.  In general I have been fishing in the larger creeks.  Water temperature varies from day to day depending on the night time temps - surface temperature sometimes as low as 55 and somtimes as high as 65. 

I been using a 3/16 oz TRD head and 4 inch TRD or a 1/4oz swim bait.  My catch has been 99% keeper LM generally on chuck rock banks in about 10 fow.  There is no indication that the fish are on beds or have been but it's got to be close.  My neighbor has seen a few beds but I have not.

My best time has been just at dark - a couple evenings I caught 8 keep LM and lost that many in less than an hour and then the next night maybe 1 or 2 or zero.

I note that there have been fewer reports lately.  I'm thinking Bill B.  has either taken up golf or is on a worldwide tour.

As you know I love duck hunting and spend Dec - Jan doing that as opposed to fishing.  Duck hunting is never this easy. (see pic)
