I also live on the VA penisula, near Micro. I live out by Jamestown island and the James and Chickahominy rivers. This summer I am trying to fish for largemouth more in these places since they are so close to home. I usually drive out to the outskirts of the other side of town to Little Creek Reservoir. The James up my way certainly is salty, and while Ive never caught a largemouth personally, my dad has told me he has right off of Jamestown island before. Some people have told me that they have caught largemouth in the creeks also, but more towards the beginnings of them where the water is fresher. Right around the corner though, in the Chickahominy, the creeks off of the river are full of bass. Since these waters are tinged and murky, dark colored plastic worms work well.
