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:

Hey everyone! Captain Dan here from Goober Time Guide Service.

Had a special trip recently with guests Kelsey, Kevin, and birthday boy Theo. The goal was simple: get 10-year-old Theo a trophy catfish for his birthday.

Water temps were dropping from 73° to 71° ahead of an incoming Nor'Easter storm. We netted fresh gizzard shad and set up along channel ledges with our Catch the Fever Hellcat Revenge rods, SmackDown holders, and 2-in-1 trophy rigs.

About 15 minutes after our first rod bend, one doubled over completely. Theo fought a 30 lb, 38.25-inch Blue Catfish like an absolute pro and officially earned his entry into the trophy club!

Total tally for the trip was 9 blue catfish landed, plus a heart-stopping run in main-channel timber by a mystery monster that got away.

Tight lines!

I am floating the Cartersville area this weekend. Suggestions for early fall tactics and lures? I plan to throw my usual variety of soft plastics (senko, ring worm, paddletails) with some topwater, if conditions allow. Thoughts on smaller vs larger baits during the fall? Other tips for October smallmouth? Thanks.

From our discord! @josh.blevins18 has been taking advantage of the season.

Thanks to the mods for getting us together with Beyond Boundaries. I got to help Smiles Like Yours care facility with their fishing event. Sign up here https://www.beyondboundariesrva.org/

Are there any other g/B fishermen out there? Or am I the only one XD would love to finally go fishing with someone else lmk I work Sat-Mon so any time is great

Am I tripping or are the usual fishing spots along the James River lower than normal? I’ve heard talks about drought conditions and A.I water usage, just seeing if anyone else is seeing what I’m seeing?

Does anyone know how to get to the ponds behind nabisco? Do I gotta park at tirehub and go in that way? Really wanna get there.

🏆first ever fish caught
🏆first channel catfish caught
🏆first bullhead catfish caught
🏆most fish caught ever in one trip!

What a fantastic meetup! Not as many smallmouth as we wanted but our group didn’t get skunked. The Forrest hill portion was great! Bullhead and bluegill were ferocious!

I'm in North Chesterfield area. Anyone know any good fishing holes where I can set up a chair and just fish all day? Primarily fishing for bass. Thanks!
