Another great day jet boating and smallmouth fishing on the upper James river . The bite was a bit tough we had to fish slow with senko on the bottom. It was a little windy the fish would follow a spinnerbait but not bite followed up with the senko.

Fish were located in the middle of creeks in brush piles just off the steeper banks in about 8 ft of water. The slower the presentation the better.
