Keep us posted. Those big cows must be fun to fight.
Maybe you you should change your name to deadBaitJunkEE?

Live bait. Having a bit of experience with this fishery, I have found the best time to fish it is when the spring American shad run occurs. Reason being the shad run congregates the catfish, lots of fish moving upriver. And the biguns are feeding up for their upcoming spawn which happens early to mid summer.
Miss Skeeters' mother landed a 82 lber, biggest in my boat. It was wild a 70 y.o. woman screaming like a 12 yo kid!!

Rob I am new to the James River -- thanks for the info -- will probably be in Striper mode in March/April/May --- But who knows will probably check out shad run and give it a try. |
