Funny, I didnt see any NO SWIMMING SIGNS !!! Dive in there Camron :) I couldnt enjoy fishing there thinking about the horrible death just a few feet away. Can you imagine the pressure down there. Wow. I was joking about the no swim signs but a dumb as this world is getting I bet theres one nearby. Not long ago I bought a pack of plastic worms,,was culprit or Berkley power baits and on the back it said ''NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPION'' I got a pretty good laugh out of that. Cool video Cameron.

Kayaking on the Ohio..God you've got guts. A resident of Louisville. There's two dams to fish this time of year. If they're biting you'll know it because it's like grand central station with all these guys fishing..lately it's been too cold. It's frustrating because you will get hung up a lot. But the old saying..if you ain't snagging you ain't bagging. Lots of Sauger and even an occasional rare walleye. Sure is fun.

@thesaltygoogan
@thesaltygoogan 19 күн бұрын
It's a great spot for sure. I look for 1 generator running if I'm bank fishing. And it needs to be the last 4 gens. Any closer and the current is usually too fast for casting from the bank. The tva app has all the info on there and updates the day before. I also call the number and talk to people who work the dam to check on levels. If they are sluicing from the top of the dam it changes the fishing as well. I've honestly not fished catfish there, but fished the bottom plenty with cut bait and night crawlers and never got one. Too many trout and sturgeon to get a cat imo. I'd fish swimbaits or jig type baits, inline spinners, jerkbaits for the other fish there. But night Crawler on bottom on small hook will catch sturgeon.

@thesaltygoogan
@thesaltygoogan 19 күн бұрын
@connerbrady1043 anywhere a dam or spillway or anything that produces current is typically a good spot. Current is a huge factor in predator and bait congregation. Also, typically the water is more oxygenated below these dams, allowing more activity and getting fish active.
