I just got back from fishing the shad run on the James. Fishing is wide open. One day we caught more than 50! Bait of choice was a dart and spoon rig.

I have posted the details of the trip on my trips. My son caught a 25.5" walleye on Friday morning on Philpott. We were trolling deep diving crankbaits. It has been a long times since I caught ...

What's best is that I was ...

Rumor has it that they will be doing a huge stocking tomorrow for the governor's arrival on Saturday.

I have recently moved out of the area but used to fish the Nottoway a lot. It is probably quite high.

Go to the home page and look up the water flow for the river.

The Roanoke River in Roanoke has been running high and muddy almost since the last stocking. The last time out I picked up a quick limit and returned the fish unharmed to the river. If the water eve ...

He's given you some great spots. You need to invest in a small boat or you can rent one at many of the Suffolk Lakes.
