What part of the Ohio river you fishing because I fish the south eastern part of it

Generally, from Markland to Meldahl pools

Where was you fishing if you don't mind me asking. I have not found any good bank fishing spots and my luck on the boat has been horrible without the capability of affording spot lock and all the high tech gear
@riverlunacyКүн бұрын
Hi deep banks right now with the water moving. Don’t need spot lock or anything high-tech just a anchor will do on a boat. Look for some wood if you’re in your boat that’s what they like in the winter

Me too man. I actually took a skunk a few days ago on the boat. No shame in my game, we got three hits. It was so lousy. The water temp was just a notch above freezing with chunks of ice coming down the river. thanks for watching things should start straightening out here shortly

I wonder if there is something different about down there? Up stream here at the Byrd, in the winter, The Cats seem to turn off as the sun goes down.
@riverlunacy3 күн бұрын
Right day in the right time. I actually do pretty decent on cats in the daytime in the winter myself but when the water is high, they do just fine at night I’ve noticed.

Ohh no. That stinks bud. I hope you get it done quick enough to get back out and give it a shot. The weather here is warming up really fast so that’s probably my last shot at the ice, I’m ready to get the boat out now on the river. Ice is finally melting off the Ohio river.

Fishing on the first, Byrd Dam Ohio River: The wind blew, I got rained on, I got snowed on, I got iced on. I had accumulation on my coveralls. lol And I caught two Channel Cats. The 1st was 10lbs or so, the second about 4 lbs. I found a nest of them, some 2 dozen bites but most not big enough to take my bait/hook. But they did keep my attention.
@riverlunacyАй бұрын
Sometimes a fish is a fish. Several times here lately I would’ve been happy with a 3 1/2 pound channel cat so I definitely get it and then a few days before that we put a 40 in my boat.😂
