2009 Virginia Catfish Nation Tournament
July 11 2009 James River Tour.

23 teams showed up to try their luck on the James River at Hopewell. There were
teams from the Kerr Lake area and one team from NC. Thanks to everyone for
coming out, and it was great to see you all again. The Weather was great, a little hot,
but no rain or storms. Bait was everywhere, as usual. Water temps were between 83 and
88 degrees, depending on where you were at.

The bite, well to say it was slow is a understatement.
