Another James River tourney

[BassAddict]

My brother and I fished again this past Sat. with a little better results. We ran to the Chicahominy river this time. We started with buzzbaits in the pads first thing and caught one close to 2 lbs. Went into a feeder creek and caught 2 more small keepers on a crankbait. We tried another pad field with no luck so we started back down river to fish the outgoing tide. We stopped at an ol reliable laydown and plucked another 2 lber with a 4" ring worm (red blood line). We ran to a lower creek and fished laydowns and caught keeper #5 on a midnight/chartruse babybrushhog. Caught a few more smaller fish then started back up river. Stopped at another ol reliable spot and caught our 2 best fish on a Bandit crank (shad color). One was pushing 3 lbs. Caught one more keeper on a crank but it didn't cull. We finaly ran back to the James and hit another ol reliable spot and caught 10 keepers in about 25 minutes but not a single one helped us. One was a smallmouth. 2 on the 4" ring worm the rest on crankbaits. We probably caught 3 limits total and several short fish. The cranks were the most effective and caught our best fish. We ended up with 9.96 lbs. for the day. Not sure yet where we ended up... probaly top 25 out of 100+ teams. I think 17+ won it. We still haven't found the bigger fish yet but I'm planning to "improve" the habitat before our October tourney. We need an advantage!!!

3D.... don't worry... only one 2 lber got transplanted to the James Sat. LOL
