Pamunkey 1-14-12 Report

2012-01-14T20:14:00.001-05:00

Today I decided to give the Pamunkey a try since it has been a while since I've been there. My wife's grandfather joined me for his first catfishing trip with me. I was worried it would be too windy and it was at first but the wind got more manageable as the day went on. We didn't get started untill around 1030 and spent the next 2 hours trying to get some fresh bait. I normally don't have any problems getting it but due to the extreme low tide today most of the places I usually get bait were inaccessible. I think the steady strong winds we have been having this week caused the water to be a little lower than normal. We eventually got 2 big shad and I figured at that point that if I spent any longer looking for bait we would waste our whole day. The first spot we went to ended up being or best and really turned the outcome of the day around. Within minutes of getting bait in the water we were hooked up with a 23 pound cat.

It was obviously a little chilly out there today. It was in the low 40's with a steady breeze. As long as we stayed out of the wind it really wasn't too bad. As soon as we got the 23 back in the water another pole went down with line peeling of the spool. This fish came in pretty easy at first but before it was over really put on a fight. He came in a 58 pounds and had a massive head on him.

We moved to another spot after that just to see what else was biting before we ran out of bait. This spot produced a couple smaller fish and this 31 pounder.

After the 31 I wanted to see if anything was biting in a nearby deep hole. It took a few tries to get set up there due to the super strong current and the deep water but once set up we quickly realized this spot was not anywhere near as active as the first two spots. So after a brief sit we went back to a similar spot as the first two. Within 10 minutes I hooked into this awesome fighting 47 pound cat.

We decided to end the day on this fish and head in.

Well some may think it's odd to go fishing the day after Christmas......but they probably aren't cat fisherman! Steve(Top Picture) is a local cat fisherman who wanted to take his son and his girlfriend out for a Christmas present. I think everyone but Steve ended up with their biggest catfish ever so that is always a great thing. The weather was pretty good except for the wind that showed up late morning. We cranked up the heater only once for a few minutes but that was all we needed. The total for the day was a 12, 38 and 40 pound catfish.

38 Pounder - This fish fought it's butt off! You can see how calm the water is in this picture. This fish was caught at our first spot of the day.

Eater for the Table - Last fish of the day and notice the bumpy water and we were in a fairly protected area.

40 pounder - Mid day fish in heavy current. She fought this fish like a pro!

55 pound blue cat on skiff

2011-12-23T14:48:00.001-05:00

I needed to install new rod holders on the skiff and do some greasing of the steering today. After that I had to take it out and test it all out. I still need to make some adjustments to the rod holders but they worked OK. The river was a little muddy but not too bad. Water temp was about 49. The biggest issue for me today was the tide was slowing down when I got out there and the wind was blowing pretty hard. I tried a spot in the wind and didn't get any bites so I found a place out of wind and anchored to the bank. After setting up all the excitement I had for the spot went away and for whatever reason i lost confidence in the spot really quick. I stuck it out because I had a few smallish hits. A few minutes latter one of the rods doubled over and line peeled off the spool. This fish made 3 runs from the boat and since I was anchored in about 3 ft of water it made for an intense fight,especially since I was by myself. The only scale I had was a 50 pound spring scale and this fish bottomed that out easily and broke the handle. So I am guessing it was 55 pounds but that should be close.

Later I met up with my dad and took Luke from him and we fished 1more spot together before calling it a day.

Total time out only about 3 hours.

Today is Capt. Joe's Birthday and here is what we gave him...

For years we have been talking about getting a replica made so we can show people at our office and friends that dont fish what these monster really look like. The pictures never do them justice. It was supposed to be a 65 pound cat but I think it turned out to look more like a 78 which is fine cause we have caught those too!

The fish was done my American Fish Taxidermy and they did a great job!

More Government, less sense

2011-12-02T16:58:00.001-05:00

Apparently someone high up thinks there is a shortage of herring on the rivers of Va. I don't know where they have been fishing but it obviously isn't the same place as us. This will not be good for some local businesses that benefit from the surge of people that fish the upper sections of the river mainly due to the herring that migrate up. I could have understood/dealt with a limit per person but a flat out ban is just DUMB!

Capt Joe and Luke

2011-11-17T11:21:00.001-05:00

Capt Joe and future First Mate Luke went out yesterday for their weekly fishing trip together and had a pretty decent day. They caught some smaller fish and a 21 and a 44 pounder. It was a little rainy and windy but not a bad day.

Another notable catch on the river yesterday was Capt. Hugh who caught a 100lb Blue Cat.

Stripers 10/27/11

2011-10-28T12:01:00.001-04:00

The last two nights we have caught limits of stripers while casting on the James. We used to do a lot of this years ago but haven't tried too much lately. Here are a couple of the fish. They were ranging from 19-21 inches.

Half Day Trip

2011-10-23T11:12:00.001-04:00

Today Capt. Joe took out a half day Charter for a couple that won a trip we gave away in a local bank fishing tournament. As you can see they did pretty well. There weren't a whole lot of fish caught but when you leave with a picture holding 50 pound catfish I would call it a success.

There was also a wounded warrior event today on the James and I know some really nice fish were caught by those guys. So hopefully things will continue to pick up through out the winter as usual.

p.s. Blogging a fishing report is kinda boring without any interaction from readers. If you enjoy reading this and I know there are a bunch of you, then feel free to post comments, questions or send us a message. It really keeps us motivated to keep posting reports.

2011-09-01T11:10:00.000-04:00

Capt Joe went out last night for just a few hours. The water temp has dropped to the low 80's. The hurricane had no effect on the water levels even though we got 4+ inches of rain on saturday. The 2 biggest fish last night were 32 and 36 pounds.

Slow Fishing

2011-08-05T11:42:00.001-04:00

I like to think I am pretty honest. Anyone who has called lately knows that I have been telling everyone to wait until Fall to go for the Big Cats. It has been very slow fishing this summer. So slow I havent even been going. My dad has still been going and it has been tough. Here is a picture of a 21 pound flathead from last night. It's not a guided trip just Capt. Hugh and Capt. Joe.

If you are planning on booking a trip this fall go ahead and start trying to nail down a date. I imagine weekends will fill up quick between hunting schedules and everybody trying to go during the best time of year.

Some pictures from the weekend.

06-25-2011 Report

2011-06-26T17:24:00.000-04:00

Last night Capt Joe and myself went out together which doesn't happen often. We have completely different fishing styles so we usually just fish our own boats. I went out before he got there and easily caught 11 shad. I spent about 2 hours this weekend repairing my net so i was glad to see it do good. It was really windy last night but we only planned on staying out for a couple of hours so we had no big expectations plus reports from the night before from others were not very good. We headed down river a few miles and to our first spot and didn't have a bite there. After that the current was running pretty good so we went even further down river, not a good idea when its blowing 20mph. It was pretty rough but we fished anyway. About 15 minutes of sitting produced our only fish of the night. It was about 20 pounds. We didn't get a chance to weight him because we tried to pull him in by the leader instead of netting and he popped off. No big deal and we wouldn't have even tried this on a trip or in a tournament. We got a short video of the fish though.

06-23-2011 Report

2011-06-24T10:29:00.001-04:00

Well last night finally marked the return of the Sea Fox to the River. It has been a long wait. It all started about a year ago when I left the plug out at the dock while replacing some stuff on my trailer and got water in the fuel. I've had the tank pumped out twice and all three fuel pumps replaced. It's been a real pain in the but. The shop fixing it has returened the boat to me 2 different times telling me that its running great and then I take it out to test it and it runs terrible. So yesterday when I got the call that it was all fixed and ready to go you can image my hesitance to be excited but also my eagerness to get it on the water. I picked it up around 4:30 and went to the river. It was an odd feeling to be towing my boat again and it felt like it had been forever. The boat ran great for the entire 3 hours I was out last night. I started out with a quick test run at differnet speeds. It was obvious it had finally been fixed so I went to find some bait. I put out my net and for about 10 minutes and started throwing the cast net. The first throw I got 1 shad and when I pulled the net in I had 5 more. I headed upriver because it was a little windy and I wasnt so concerned with catching fish as I was with just enjoying having my boat back.

I started out drifting and had a lot of action. They were pulling my baits all around but must have been small as they just wouldnt take it all the way.

I spent about an hour doing that then I head back closer to the dock to fish a deep hole that can sometime produce a nice fish. The current wasnt running as hard as I had hoped at this spot but I fished it anyway. It was a 50ft hole that came up to 35 ft. I anchored in the 35 and pitched my baits back to the fish I had marked in the hole. I got a couple decent hits early but then they stoped. I repositioned some of the baits and finally got one to commit.

It was not monster but it was great just to have the boat back out and pull something in.

James River Tour Trip

2011-06-15T14:46:00.001-04:00

Today Capt Joe took some people from the local YMCA on a tour of the James River. It wasn't a fishing trip just a sightseeing and boat ride trip. It sound like everyone had a good time and Hopefully we will have more trips like this in the future, especially with weather like we had today!

2011-06-12T15:38:00.001-04:00

2011-06-09T16:25:00.003-04:00

When I used to post reports on my web page and not on this blog I was always having people tell me how much they enjoyed it and would read it all the time. I got to wondering if this blog was a turn off or something because I don't seem to get the feed back I used to. So a couple days ago I added a hit counter to the blog(I already have one on the main site) and it seems like plenty of people are coming to the blog still. I guess that's a good thing but it sure would be nice if there was a little more interaction from the readers. I realize the fishing reports have been a little light. The reason is my boat has been getting repaired for almost the last year! Capt Joe has been doing plenty of fishing but is not to good at getting the pictures or reports to me. I hope that this summer as a begin to post more fishing reports that the customers and readers will begin to comment more.

Sometimes it just seems like I'm updating my self on whats going on.

Also If you want to be automatically updated when a new post is made you can sign up on the right side of the page to "Follow" the blog. That would also help me know who is reading this.

Upper James Kayak Fishing

2011-06-07T16:08:00.000-04:00

Saturday I went kayak fishing for smallmouth bass on the Upper James. We floated from Pony Pasture to Reedy Creek, about 4 miles. It only my second time doing this trip in a kayak and I am 2 for 2 on flipping going through the rapids. I lost a shoe and broke a rod. It's a great trip for catching a lot of fish. We never soom to get any of any size

We caught about 20 fish all but 1 were smallmouth and the 1 being a largemouth.
I tried to catch some bream for flatheads but never could get any. Next time I'll do what I usually do and bring my own.

We have been spoiled

2011-05-25T16:56:00.001-04:00

As you know the James River is (or was) a world class fishery for Blue Catfish. I have noticed a decline in the last 4-5 years in the numbers of fish and size of fish. Don't get me wrong there are still plenty of Big Blues to be caught. I just think sometimes we need to put it in perspective. We used to be able to go out on the river for just a few hours and could expect multiple citations. It's just not that easy anymore. Commercial fishing takes some of the blame but I this article posted by the VADGIF helps explain more. It says that only 1% of Blue Catfish in the James River are larger than 32 inches and even less than that larger than 35" or 30 pounds. Also an average 30 pound (citation) fish is 16 years old and 60% of the catfish die before they get that age. This shouldn't be discouraging just some perspective.

But don't worry I have the solution.... But you will have to fish with me to find out.

July 5th fishing report

Went out solo Sat. nite when my partner pooped out on me and boy oh boy, what a nite. You always catch fish when your net man is no where around. Drifted the James a while and landed a few but had the most luck where the water temp was not in the 90's. Anchored the Catfish Cadillac in about 28 ft of water and tossed out 6 freshly baited hooks(love them gizzard shad!). Over the next 90 minutes I had landed a 6,7,14,22,25,26,28 and a 32lb (all blue cats). They were very frisky while in the water doing death roll after death roll ( why not, I lip all my fish and they probably had other ideas)but did not miss a fish once I got one hand in his mouth. No one else fished anywhere near me but a fellow captain. He had a 50, 35, 25 and some dinks. Action is good. I still think with the 100 degree days this week, it will not affect my place on the river where I fish. I've got 2 trips this weekend and expect to have a good time on the Catfish Cadillac catching fish and relaxing big time better known as "extreme catfishin'".........Capt.

Summer Night Trips

2010-05-14T10:22:00.000-04:00

We are now booking our summertime night fishing trips. I think this is going to be our best summer of fishing in a while. I plan to do things a little different this summer.

I am also considering doing some croaker/Striper trips this May and Early June out of West Point, Va so if anyone is intersted in doing that just let me know.

We will begin our night catfishing trips in mid June.

Hickory Shad

2010-03-30T11:51:00.001-04:00

The Shad are here. I haven't made it up there yet but dad got out last weekend and had a great day up there. Spent about an hour getting 32 shad and then caught a 27 and 47 on the way back to the dock. If you can find a day between the rain and flooded water the shad are there to be caught.

3/27/2010 Fishing Report

2010-03-30T11:19:00.017-04:00

Saturday we fished the James looking for Blue cats. It was a weired day. I had a little trouble at first with bait but at my second bait spot I got more that enough. The fish were a little difficult to figure out. We ended up with the fish in the 20's a 23,25 and 28. I'm not sure why we couldn't find that big one but we tried our best. It was a good day and good weather though. I look forward to taking yall out again!

Finally a new Report

2010-03-04T21:10:00.011-05:00

Sorry for the lack of reports but I just haven't had any to give. We have had so much snow and cold weather this winter I figured I would just wait it out. I went out Tuesday and had a pretty good day. We caught 4 fish totaling 122 pounds. A 24,28,30 and a 40. The 28 and 30 came as a double. It was a great trip as always with this group and I hope they continue to come every year!

Here are a few Pictures...

Now I even have a video that was taken with those new sunglasses with the video camera built in. I have edited out the bad stuff in this video the best I could but it's not perfect.

Still Fishing....

2010-01-29T15:31:00.002-05:00

Well not this week. The river reached 18 feet earlier this week and we are getting snow this weekend. We will be ready as soon as things warm up just a bit to hit it hard again. We are currently booking trips for spring cat trips as well as Shad fishing.

Pamunkey Trip

2009-10-18T09:08:00.002-04:00

Today was COLD, WET and WINDY! but we still caught some fish. Water was extremly high so we took a while getting bait. Once that was done we hit the first spot. Started out with a nice 20 pounder. The next spot produced the big fish for the day which was 26 pounds. Ended up the day heading back down river to try and find some stripers but it didn't happen. Tough day but still a success.

Went hunting after we got done fishing and I had wore just about all my warm clothes while we fished so I didn't want to were them in the woods. I froze on the stand after freezen all day on the water...not fun!
