OK !!! I'm one of those nuts who never stops fishing. Put in at wake and fish all day, cold to start then really nice then cold to finish!!! Marked fish in all the usual spots. Jiged with Hyper stripers around the pilings, no hits. Then did a little mid day trolling. One hit on a tomic, got off. one small guy on a strech 15 (red and white). Got realy cold again at 4:00 PM so we high tailed it back to the ramp.. We were the only ones out there..Gona hit the upper james today at mid day for some big blue cats... I don't understand you people that put your boats away. There is good fishing to be had in Jan and Feb you just got to find the weather windows.

I am gonna try here in about a week after this cold snap. Ran the boat good back last week when we had the little warm spell. Been running it pretty good every two weeks.

now - now -now CaptRon.......can't believe you'd talk about your fishing buddy like that.....the Harley's got snow tires on it !!! :2guns:

 

[captron9151]

you know what i mean , there willy , theres a big difference with yall hardcore harley riders , its those guys that fish 4 mounths out of the year then put antifreeze in it and let it set while they b%tch about being bored and when does it start up again . IT DOESN'T STOP , just cause someone says you cant keep em , they still pull the same when you find them whether you can keep them or not , they dont know the difference.

:soapbox::2guns::52: ps i own a scooter too

Can't let a little weather keep you down

Theres a lot of fishing to be had in Jan and feb.
Fort AP Hill for stocked trout
Wanynsbro for a little fly fishing
James river cats' and crapie
The shad run is just around the corner.
C&R on the Rapp
And the biggie,, VA Beach for the big ones
May even do some surf fishing on HI. Bonita, fat alberts and many other fish come in close in the winter.

I live in the mecca of fishing, The bass pro, gander, greentop triangle ( Ashland )

There no doubt, Jan and feb are lean fishing months,, But I just can't stop..............

That's why I spend extra for a slip all year round; I was out with the family, including our 3 year old on the James drowning bait the day after Christmas and again New Years day! Wanted to haul her out to scrub the bottom this weekend, but it's gonna be warmer in the water than out!!
