Trip Summary
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
