He said that the monster’s 50 -inch may be from the incubation ground, but they still stroll around and prepare to give the fishermen’s adrenaline for their lives.
Between Tiemen and Linkburg, Virginia, James is considered to be musk water over 80 miles. The relatively shallow swimming pools and shallow beach habitats are very suitable for hunting the largest and most teeth fish with flying rods.
But musk fishing is not suitable for everyone. 8 to 14 inches long ribbons are cast on the sinking line with 10 and 11 rods, which is a exercise. I hope once a whole day and need spiritual perseverance.
Mels said, "Musk fishing is in the right position in the right time." "I can put you in the right position and teach you the right method. When I can’t appropriate. It depends to a large extent on the fish Class behavior and method. "
The musk peak season is from October to mid -March. If the fifty -/50 odds of the strike seem a bit slim, then James is also an excellent small mouth river.
