I'll eat a fish out sewage S hole 🕳️ because it's how you purify the meat with a little of white vinegar in cold water 🌊 than clean it off with cold water than you can grill it or frie it up 😂🐟🎣

Wondering what kind of CHIP you use in your Fishfinder/GPS ?? Navtronics? I may of spelled that wrong. The reason I ask I just got a 9" Lowrance Elite FS so I am asking around on what I need for the James or any other river.

Whats up buddy! I use navionics east region card for the james. It's not perfect but gives you a good idea of what's going on with the river bottom.

Poles look good. What make /kind poles you guys using?? What kind of action also?

If you had to pick a Spring/summer month NOT to fish the James River for big blues what month would you say. Also what month would be your favorite for BIG blues??

@hammer-downcatfishingwithj7223

Жыл бұрын

June would be the month I wouldn't want to fish the James, the blues are spawning then. Honestly, the other 11 months are typically pretty good but if I had to choose, my 2 favorite months to fish down there are December and late March.
