Blue and Flathead Catfish are Munching

Marquise and D’Andre join us on the water for their first ever James River catfishing trip. We had bait ready to go when they rolled up, but still caught some extra fresh bait in the first 20 minutes of the trip.

We set up on our first spot and had action right from the start on both live and cut bait. The first fish to hit the deck was a blue catfish weighing in around 6 pounds. We kept this one for the grease.

We caught a few more fish in this spot and put them in the livewell, most of which were eater size.

We moved around a few different spots, searching for some bigger fish and cooked some lunch along the way.

With the catfish spawn kicking in, we knew big fish would be hard to come by and our biggest catch of the day was around 13 pounds

We continued to hop around and found a nice flathead on some structure.

Four hours goes by quickly on the water and it was time to show the guys how to clean the fish and send them home with some fillets. Thanks for joining us on the water. We hope to see you out here again soon.
