Kayak for Shad in Richmond/James River

[The Old Man]

Has anybody tried to kayak the James at Richmond for shad? Is it reasonable to try? Thinking about Thursday 3/31 if anyone is interested...

I'd like to try the Nott, but it's about a 3+ hours drive for me...still possible, but I'd rather cut that drive down and fish some more.

Trophy Fish, thanks for reminding me of Pony Pasture. I've seen huge gar swimming right beside the raft. I'd love to hook up with one of those just for fun.


No prob, I have seen quite a few in that area. Lemme know if you are thinking about heading out there. Nice size flathead in that area also.
