Sorry about that first thing there. It was awh s#@t thang. But when you have two rivers running into each other, then a tide with it, you don't know whether to wind your butt or scratch your watch. It's crazy, but you landed a few nice ones. You did the right thing. Good job man. You know all and all you had a good trip up there. Cought some really good size Catfish'. It was worth the trip man. Dave take care, God Bless.

Yes Catfish Dave gets irritated at anything and I mean anything that gets in the way of his attempt to land a catfish. He isn't rude to anybody but boy he will get disgusted. So if you are down south fishing for Catfish and you see a guy mad dogging a barking dog or cussing while he releases a fish with stripes down the side or kicking his boat trailer tire. Or turning down a waffle house waitress trying to get his phone number. It is probably the legendary catfisherman known as Catfish Dave. He just trying to make a a dag blasted fishing video. Woooooooo.

Im from TN, unfortunately spent the last 16 years in VA (military). Fishing the James among other rivers around here. Its different. The fishing is BAD compared to TN, also the people here are the worst you ever met. As far as the James goes, the current can look calm on top, but the current at the bottom will be pulling where you need 10oz or more to hold it. Also depends alot on tide, time of year, and weather. The water rises from the ocean, takes a minute to push up the rivers, and the same for the fall. You got to do alot of research, and time it just right. Tide tables, current stations, astrology map. Blues in the 1lb-10lb range are EVERYWHERE and you can catch them on damned near anything. People who catch them to eat use eel, it catches alot of small fish. If youre goin for the bigger ones you need the bigger shad, best to get a gill net permit and run a gill net for bait. Its a tricky place to learn for sure.

I hope to see you down here again. As you know, fishing a new spot, especially one with a totally different environment than you are used to, can be a crap shoot until you learn the ways of the water. Still, you did fairly well. The Chick can be a great spot. You were in a good area. Fellow KZitemr, Mike Chavez, can give you some intel on fishing there. On any given day, the bread and butter fish are going to be the size fish you caught. But the thing that makes the James what it is known for is the sow size cats that feed on that endless supply of huge shad and the vegetation that kept pestering you. A 40 to 60-pound cat is not out of the ordinary, and on any given day an 80-pounder is possible. Of course, when the planets are aligned in your favor there are 100-pound-plus fish in that water that can pull your string. It is just a fact - they are there. Where I fish in SE Virginia I know I can catch 30 to 40-pound fish, but if I want a chance at a big girl, I have to travel and fish the James, Kerr Lake, or Lake Gaston. It is an undeniable fact. As you say, "If you want to catch catfish, you have to go to the water." I say, "If you want your best shot at a 100-pound plus fish, come to Virginia. Just the facts. Thanks for the video coverage. I'll be looking for your next visit.
