      You're crazy if you'd eat a fish out of that river! 🤣

      I'll eat a fish out sewage S hole 🕳️ because it's how you purify the meat with a little of white vinegar in cold water 🌊 than clean it off with cold water than you can grill it or frie it up 😂🐟🎣

      On the James River, I use Big Cat Fever heavy action. At home on the Ohio River I use their medium heavy action rods

    Great video! That's a great trip to the James! I really admire the time you take to release the fish. I wish more others took the effort. You and Mark make a great team!

    Wondering what kind of CHIP you use in your Fishfinder/GPS ?? Navtronics? I may of spelled that wrong. The reason I ask I just got a 9" Lowrance Elite FS so I am asking around on what I need for the James or any other river.

      Whats up buddy! I use navionics east region card for the james. It's not perfect but gives you a good idea of what's going on with the river bottom.

    Joe,
    We wanted to come down and fish for Blue cats. Wanted to know what the law is on Gill Nets (for bait ,gizzard Shad) in the James around the Hopewell area?? Wanted to get a Gill Net but not sure on what size to get for Gizzard Shad. You have any suggestions ??
    Thanks

    If you had to pick a Spring/summer month NOT to fish the James River for big blues what month would you say. Also what month would be your favorite for BIG blues??

    • @hammer-downcatfishingwithj7223
      @hammer-downcatfishingwithj7223  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      June would be the month I wouldn't want to fish the James, the blues are spawning then. Honestly, the other 11 months are typically pretty good but if I had to choose, my 2 favorite months to fish down there are December and late March.
