Went out to the Pavilion today to see what was happening. Tossed a jig w/ 4in. senko trailer and a t'rigged finesse worm. Landed a half dozen bass with all of them in the 3/4 to 1lb range. They seemed to be a little healthier (aka fatter) than in years past, so I wonder if the 14in slot is working. Either way, the bite was good for the most part. I had one bass pick up the jig three times, with two failed hookset efforts, before landing him.

I have a tournament on the James River this weekend. Official practice day is Friday with the tourney Saturday. As long as you have not been on the James this week after Sunday, feel free to tell me all of your secrets! haha

Tight lines!

I used to fish the James near Eagle Rock once in a while in the summer. Until they lifted the eating the fish ban it was nothing to catch 200+ smallies on a float from Gala to Eagle Rock (about 10 miles). The best tactic that I found once the water heats up is to fish the shady side under the trees. A tiny broken-back Rapala or 1/4 oz cast-master used to be the ticket for summer smallies...don't know how they would do now though. Good luck!

Last year the tournament was won on the Chickahominy. Considering gas prices, I am not sure we are to eager to make the 50 mile run. We launch out of Osbourne Landing. I appreciate all support and I hope to bring back a good report.
