Capt. Scott Cannon Capt. Joe Cannon James River Catfishing Do you want to catch the fish of a lifetime? Is the biggest catfish you have ever caught 10lbs? 20lbs?

Today was not a good day for Hickory shad fishing. I would’ve had more fun if we at least had gotten a couple bites, maybe even snagged a couple stripers, a couple of herring, a couple anything.
So after wasted most of the morning into early afternoon, we decided to make a run down past Osborne pick up some bait and do a little catfish. Was there plentiful bait? Oh yeah 32 in the first pool and we didn’t leave it in the water but about two minutes max. But that’s OK went to one of our favorite spots set up and in the first 20 minutes we had three fish biggest 33 and a couple in the mid 20s. We got a few more d***s before we left, but it really made the whole day worth it. We had a great time catching fish and we look forward to the next charter coming up real soon, but I really think after the day it’s gonna still be about 7 to 10 days before those Hickory shad are gonna be plentiful enough to actually spend time fishing
for them!
