Fish were holding tight to cover. Water was dirty throughout the river. Had to fish slow in order to get them to bite.

Only had an hour to go out n try and stick one and told myself I'll make 3 more casts then I'll head home and this one ate on the second to last cast. Of course I didn't have a scale with me when I catch the biggest bass of my life

Another great day jet boating and smallmouth fishing on the upper James river . The bite was a bit tough we had to fish slow with senko on the bottom. It was a little windy the fish would follow a spinnerbait but not bite followed up with the senko.
Striped Bass
