Riepilogo della Battuta

On the upper James River, The catfish bite has been pretty consistent with fish averaging 5 pounds and biting every 5 minutes on an incoming and outgoing tide. The bite slows during the highest and lowest points of the tides, but that moving water it's the switch. Once structure is found the fish were easy to locate. They are all over the water column too, some are suspended, while others are just off the bottom. If you get out and try your luck, I highly recommend it

The upper James continues to produce the most consistent bite of Catfish. Clients continue to be in disbelief of the number of fish they caught at the end of the trips. The clients would arrive with empty coolers and leave with full coolers and fish still in the live wells. Very blessed to live here and have access to this fishery. The key is finding fishable structure and moving water.

The James River, Continues to make smiles. Granted the abundance of catfish here is a bit unique than other fisheries as in here, it is a safe bet to say were going catch a catfish. Some are still coming over the rail as trophy fish; however, great eating sizers are being produced for the most part. We have yet to have a trip, that has produced nothing since we started to keep track back in 2021. If you can find the structure and moving water, you'll find the fish. Plus, the river kept us on our toes as we caught more carp.

Fishing the Upper James, The river has all sort of surprises, the carp were really active and gave the catfish a run for their money, and the fact that they fight so well, is just an added bonus. With school being out we highly encourage everyone to take a kid fishing. The action is on fire and they will be gainfully employed.
