I am a catfish, smallmouth bass and bream fishing guide on Virginia´s historic James River. I have personally been fishing the James River for 20 years.

The James River is home to huge blue catfish and flathead catfish, and some of the best smallmouth bass and bream fishing in the state.

I specialize in monster blue catfish; flathead catfish; smallmouth bass; and "hand size" bream fishing.
