I live in Martinsville, Va and hve been kayak fishing for about three years now, started out in a native manta ray then went to a native ultimate and now i am in a jackson cuda that my wife calls my cadillac, i have put all kids of bells and whistles. Anyway i fish all over alot on the james som on the New and regularly fish Philpott lake. Try and take a couple of trips to Chesapeake every year. I also go down around Hopewell Va on the James river and fish for big catfish. Right now i have been looking for a coosa used thats how i run up on this site. Anyway glad to have found this and hope to learn alot from this site. I also fly fish alot, from the kayak and wading.

Welcome to the site! Been hoping to fish the James a little more this season as well...maybe you can show us around?! A lot of us fish the New regularly, so check the site before you come down this way if you want some fishing partners. Scott

Thanks for the offers to fish, i will keep them in mind. WVfisherman i have at times gotten up to WV and fish the Greenbier, also go up and fly fish the Elk river but its been a few years. as for buggs island i try and get out in the fall a drift the main channel for striper, also in the early spring i will hit some of the creeks for white bass when they spawn, thats is some fun. Uncross.. oddly enough i have never fished fairystone, it gets alot of pressure, i like philpott better.

irons, I have fished the New River paddle tourney the last 2 years. I know several others on here fished it this past year. Brad (porter91) is actually the one that runs the tournament. Maybe we can get a shout out for the site this year!
Keep an eye out for the used coosa. Spring will be a good time to find one, when people buy new boats. I am thinking of adding a new kayak this year, but keeping my coosa. I love it at times, but don't at others.
