  1. Ohio River Fishing Reports
    July 11th I went to a local catfishing weigh in of two local clubs. They had the best day of decent temperatures for fishing this month. The big complaint was about all the pleasure boat on that part of the river, and dealing with a strong up river wind. I was surprised by the number of fish...

    September 18th. I picked up my brother from the nursing home around 08:00 to head for the Ohio River. We got our lines in the river around 08:50. The river was clear with a slow current, and a slight ripple on the water. At 08:55 I got a slight tap on one of my rods that was baited with a...

    I just learned there was an explosion at Aberdeen power Plant Jan.10th. The plant is NOW SHUT DOWN. So fishing for Skipjacks in the hot water discharge is DONE UNTIL that plant is generating power again. Right now the company has NO idea when that might be! I had thought about going up there...

    I had a good trip on the river today. Boated 3 bluecats, 4 ¾ , 5 ½, and the big guy 17 ½ pounds. I had fresh shad and frozen skipjacks cut bait. They only produced 2 gar runs on the shad and 1 hard bite on a suspend rod. ALL the fish I caught were on seasoned chicken breast. 1 on...
  8. Ohio River Fishing Reports
    Looks like with river going up to around 35 ft. I won't be able to go for catfish for some time. I am not sure if the Skipjacks will be showing up along the river anywhere either. Just seems that whenever the river gets almost settled down the rains comes and fishing suffers. Hopefully I...
