My Streak is Back On!

[snagged in outlet 3]

I had my alarm set for 4 o’clock. But I woke up at 3:45.  So I grabbed some coffee and headed out the door.  Put in the river before daybreak.  WT 74 and a nice green color to the water.  Ran about 5 miles I guess and dropped the troller.  Caught one on a buzz bait right off the bat and thought I would get some good top water action.  But that didn’t happen.

I was catching little ones here and there then I caught the 19”, 3.24 pounder on a whacky worm.  Fished for about a mile maybe more when I caught the 21” that weighed 4.34 pounds.  Smoked a Pete’s jig.  I stuck with those two baits to finish out the morning.  

I was done by 9:30 and headed home.  Only saw a few boats after about 8 AM.  Other than that I had it to myself.   All spots and smallies.  Really great day!

Sounds like a good morning how far up the James did you go above Cape Fair?  🤑

Farther than your boat will go😁.   But I’m at home not the condo.

Awesome catches.   With a board to prove it as well.

I got my boat to the launch at Blunks and chickened out last week right before the big rain. Fishing was pretty slow for me up there
