You couldn't really boat it I tried kayaking it a few times but in high water you got whit water, in low water those spots required dragging. There was a trail that followed the river most the way from petersburg up to the damn that formed some lake can't remember the name, but I'd ride my mountain bike with a milk crate I put on it with rod holder pipes up and down the trail to get to all the holes away from all the idiots of petersburg caught some good smallmouth in there. Pulled one just shy of 20" out from the apomatox. Had some good ones on the James. Caught quiet a few cats but never did get any monster blues biggest one was just shy of 20lbs if wasn't for that area being so urban, and having such weird water way laws on duck hunting the lower james I would try and move there. I'll have to be back at Fort lee for a month for some training possibly this spring summer, definitely next summer. When I go back there I will have my boat in tow, and will fish the upper james more smallies now that I have a jet. Will have to get in touch with you when I'm in that area.</p></blockquote><p></p>
