Rockfish and the Rappahannock River: Now there’s a winning combination. Last weekend, that’s exactly what our party of three was able to experience. Fishing with Tim Tigner of Orange and Courtney Craft of Charlottesville, I had previously made on-line contact with Capt. Bobby Jenkins out of Urbanna. Since we were to be in Urbanna attending the Oyster Festival, it was an easy decision to book Capt. Jenkins and his “MrJ’s Pleasure” for a full-day trip.
Every fishing party wants to catch fish, of course, but Courtney and I had an ulterior motive. We wanted Capt. Jenkins to show us the ropes, so to speak, so that when we went alone in Courtney’s 19-foot Alumicraft V-hull, we would know a little more about where and how to fish the Rappahannock River.
Capt. Bobby said he’d be delighted to help us. Last Friday, we went to rockfish school with Professor Jenkins.
