New, I am heading out to the river next Friday night in an effort to try and hook into a decent cat or two and I believe Carrington is going to join us.  Give me a PM if you plan on coming and I can hook you up with directions to the spot.

Honestly, contact Mike Ostrander.

He is a GREAT guide, and a very good friend of mine.

That man knows what he is doing.

Carrington, for some reason it says you are not accepting PM's from me, might be a technical problem or something.  However, I am planning on going out around 630-7 on Friday evening to either Osborne Landing or Maury Street area.  If you interested shoot me a PM or something else if that doesnt work.

Osborne Landing or Maury Street area

How is osborne landing?  Ive never been.  What bites there this time of year?  The only thing i know how to catch is smallmouth and largemouth bass around the pipeline near 14th st bridge and somtimes near the Nickel Bridge.  Id love to check out this osborne landing site tho.

Osborne Landing is off Osborne Turnpike in the 9400 block so set your GPS for 9400 Osborne Turnpike, Henrico, Virginia.

Very busy boat landing.

Visit the location and see if it is OK for catfish fishing.

Let us know what you find out. 

They got a nice pier will see if the fishing is any good its a perfect spot.  First time going there though

I used to take a guide out on the James once a year.  We would spend about an hour catching bait fish mostly chad.  Cut into big chunks using a fish finder with 5oz triangle wieght,  set it and forget it. 

Since then we have learned how to catch big cats in our area so we no longer need to drive almost 2hrs there and spend the big bucks for a guide.

any luck?

Struck out with Cmatthews and another guy.  Nothing seemed to be hitting down at Osborne, but we could hear the stripers and what not jumping all around us.  First time fishing that spot though
