Arcadia to Alpine float with the Barger

Dave absolutely hammered me in today's fishing competition. Most consistent good size fish that we've caught all year. Dave caught a 13, 12 and some other beauties. I eventually caught up a little but his hellgrammites and worms dominated my Mepps. Dave 28 Me 21 (a lot of small brim) Still a great day.

Cumulative total: 622

Narrow Passage 9 am to 1

Pretty nice redneck float. Floated down and got out at the train tracks then walked through a field and finally made it back to 43. Caught 21 but lost a nice one because I was fiddling with a net that I had found.

Cumulative: 601

The drought is over

After almost a month of no fishing, I went this morning at 6:30 to Horseshoe Bend on the James River. I waded and the water was warm. I caught 23 fish. My biggest were 14 and 11 inch smallies.
