That's awesome! I feel very much the same way, even if nothing happens I'm outside enjoying myself. I don't have a saltwater setup, I usually just fish the river here. I'm going charter fishing in New Zealand next year, that should be a blast

I've always wanted to do some offshore and New Zealand sounds great!

The only reason I don't fish the James is because I'd like to eat what I catch. Idk about eating anything from this part of the James.

I get that. I do catch and release mainly. The James is fun to fish if you're not worried about eating your catch.

I'll have to get my freshwater rig and have a go.

What freshwater fish from this region would you be interested in eating? I was raised to think that all freshwater fish isn’t worth cleaning.

Freshwater trout and catfish are okay enough. Honestly, I just like fish/seafood. It's all good to eat if you know how to cook it right.

Yo that is incredible! How much does chartering cost out there? Sounds like it’ll be a blast

It was something like $200.00 US for 4 hours. Never done a charter before, but it's reasonable for a vacation like that.
