thanks all for the useful info. I fish the tidal delaware river here in NJ and am pretty familiar with the bass's seasonal patterns. typically by Oct. the fish are starting to make their way to the back of the creeks and deeper coves. Does the same hold true on the james or are they still on the main river. It looks like we will be fishing an incoming tide most of the day and suggestions for fishing incoming tides?

I have an opportunity to visit my brother in richman va the first weekend in oct. I would like to fish the james river and would like your help to find some good areas. I have a 18 foot bass boat and i will be fishing with my son. we both belong to a club in new jersey and have fished smaller bodies of water. We only have a day and a half to fish and would like to have fun and not spend all our time trying to figure things out. we have purchased some maps. if anyone can share some locations. patterns and baits it will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
