20 Inch Smallmouth Caught by Doug Reynolds on the Middle James River between Scottsville and Bremo Bluff. Smallmouth caught and released.

Welcome to James River Smallmouth’s Blog

This site is dedicated to all the smallmouth bass fishermen that fish the upper and middle James River. The Smallmouth Bass fight like no other type of bass. Their strength and ability to use the river current to run and jump far excceeds the other types of bass. Don’t get me wrong, I fish for all kinds of bass depending on the season and the ability to get on the river. But if I had my choice I would fish Smallmouth year around! I have fallen in love with the Smallmouth Bass and the James River.  Give it a try some time, you will too!

Damn, I’ve even gotten myself fired up for the sounds of the river, a breeze in my face, an eagle in the sky and a Smallmouth on my line.

Here are a few fish pictures to give you an idea of the fun.

 

21.5 Inch Smallmouth Caught by Doug Reynolds on the Middle James River between Bremo Bluff and Columbia. Smallmouth caught and released.19 Inch Smallmouth Caught by Doug Reynolds at dusk last month (9-2011) standing on an island in the middle of the river. I was on the Cartersville to West View section of the James River. Great looking fish! Look how fat this fish is. I'm a firm believer in catch and release. This fish was in the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries slot limit and must be released.19 Inch Smallmout Caught by Doug Reynolds at dusk last month (9-2011) standing on an island in the middle of the river.
