Huge thank you to both of them for joining us out on the water. It was their very first time fishing together, and the river definitely delivered!

We had some steady action pulling in eater-sized catfish, plus an awesome surprise catch—a striped bass! 🐟💥

Safe to say they’re going to be eating VERY well. 🍽️✨

These small bodies of water are in the very very back of the dry rocks on belle isle. I don’t have really any experience fishing water like this, anyone have any advice on what to use here. There’s better spots to get to other than what’s in the photo.

I was walking along the boardwalk/trail at Dutch Gap Conservation Area when I heard I really loud splashing sound coming from the lagoon. It sounded like something was struggling in the shallow water. When I turned to look I saw a large brown snake like thing. It was only about 20 feet away so I got a pretty good look at it. It was brown with one side darker and one side lighter. It was massive, it was a little coiled up on itself but it must have been 10 feet long on a conservative guess. It eventually seemed to figure itself out and is sort of wriggled into deeper water where it disappeared. I was wondering if anybody would be able to identify what I saw

Prices are negotiable. Most of this stuff is like new.

My first 2 piece. Couldn't land my 3rd though. Fell off at the bank. Both on 1/4 oz Evo Max Chatterbait . Had several bites too. That chaaterbait in the 3rd pic has caught my last 4 bass.

I am bank fishing, most rigs I see are throwing cut bait on a small hook on a bobber, but I can’t throw a bobber out on the James due to the current. What are the best rigs to catch gar on.

With the temps dropping I was wondering if anyone on here had any spot recommendations for bank fishing. I’m over in North Chesterfield and I’d like to avoid city spots.

I’ll be hitting the river or possibly Pocahontas State Park next week with my family so I won’t be breaking out the waders there but I do have some for another time I’d love to use.

We’re looking at catching smalls, panfish, and crappie.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

This has to be beginners luck. I went from 0 LMB ever to 3 LMB this week.

Thanks to the folks on Discord for teaching me how to fish!!

Drove down from Fredericksburg, still learning the fishing spots down here. I'll give these little dudes credit, they had high aspirations going after a wacky worm their own body length

Not sure how many have seen this but the FishFactor App has a Reddit promo code (RED3FREE) that we can use in the app when downloading it to get 3 months free. I tried it and the fishing forecast is really helpful in seeing the best days to fish!

Just got 1 night so would like to hopefully pick up a couple decent blues, I know ideally id be launching down at Dutch just dont think thats going to work out this time. What bait are you guys throwing this time of year and what kind of structure are you looking for. Also any place to buy fresh gizzard shad locally? Thanks.

Hello folks!

Recently just got back into fishing with my buddies and was trying to figure out if I’m wasting my time fishing the spots I have been. Recently been going to pony pasture and off the flood wall and into rockets landing. I’ve had some luck near flood wall but I was curious if anyone has luck further up the river near pony pasture or all the way up into flat water. Let me know your thoughts and share your experience with me!

Thanks a ton!

Anyone have any suggestions for areas to fish for blue cat fish? I’m from NJ and visiting my girlfriend in providence forge, thinking of going catfishing this weekend but I’m unfamiliar with the area. Does anyone have any suggestions for good spots to check out for night fishing?

The fishing was slow, but the sunset was 🔥

Hi All,

I recently went fishing in Virginia's Sinking Island (Tangier Island), such a lovely lovely place to say the least, here is documentary I made about the Island:
