All trips offer excellent Smallmouth Bass fishing. Ask, and we will let you know what the fishing lure and the tip for the day is. Have your cooler and your personal equipment ready when you arrive. This will allow more time for your river trip. You sign in, park your car, we ask everyone to load the bus, and we take care of the rest. You are fully briefed on the river trip and the conditions. On arrival of the put-in, a staff member is there to assist you and answer any last minute questions you may have, and away you go for a great day on the James River.
