Are skippies caught anywhere near Dayton or do I have to drive my butt down to the river somewhere?

Probably the closest place might be on the GMR below the Hamliton dam, I have seen some 4-6" skippies there at times but never consistantly, youll need to find them on the Ohio River, and of course, they are never consistant down there, here today, gone tomorrow etc. Good luck!!

Wow, I might have better luck looking for a Bigfoot. :D Looks like I have some exploring to do when the SNOW stops...

The elusive skipjack...haha I can usually get them over by Meldahl dam, but that is down on the Ohio, and even then it is only a few at a time and almost not worth the drive. Hopefully I can tear into some this year. My buddy was out one morning and was able to get 60 of them with his fishing partner all in the 6-10 inch range, but that was just being in the right place at the right time.
