Hello,

Any reports from James River Bridge Fishing Pier?

 

[Jimmy]

Lots of croakers, maybe a catfish every now and then. I fished shallow water (14' deep)from my jon boat yesterday- I was out about halfway to the end of the pier straight out off huntington park. I caught about 30 croaker in less than 2 hours, 1 18", 2 17.5", and several other smaller but decent sized.

Jimmy,

What's the best time to visit this pier along with the best bait(s)?

 

[Jimmy]

I was there yesterday afternoon on the outgoing tide. I haven't tried at night this year so I'm not sure about that. I used shrimp and mullet for bait, shrimp did the best. If you can get peeler crabs they are always great but a little pricey.
