Chickahominy River
sunny hot, light breeze
seemed stained, low visibility
from Rockahock down stream to a marina near island and sunken barge
4 lmb
spinnerbait, senko, buzzbait, frog
2-5 foot
tried the buzzbait in the shad with only one bass, could not find much shade. Water was low tide when I got there and high when I left. Got 2 on spinnerbait on laydowns. Got 1 on senko around a dock
Only my 2nd time here. Last time was in the fall , same tide and I got one 5.5 lber. This time first 3 bass was 12 inchers or so. Last bass 2 was 2.3lbs . Have not figured out how to fish tidal water yet, need to do more research. Could only muster 2 frog bites in the pads, missed both. Can't figure out why few hits on frog. Might need to fish the edge of the weeds instead of in the weeds and pads next time, not sure.

Chickahominy river
cloudy am sunny hot by 10
upper river 2 feet, lower river 1 foor
pads and grass, nothing on wood
20 plus bass, 2 bowfin and a perch
blade,cranks, couple on trick worm
1 to 6 feet
fished the pads on outgoing tide. Tide was just finishing coming in when we started.
Today was a blast. Have not had a day on the Chick like today in a few years. The river is back and in full swing. The bowfins blasted the blades on the edge of the grass. 1 was about 8 pounds and the other was well over 10 and about 30 inches. Wanted to weigh just to make sure but did not want that thing in the boat.
