First fishing trip with boat in 2004!!
Finally got my boat in the river for 2004. Launched from The FREE
ramp at the Cincinnati Public landing.
Checked out the spots that I was shown last October by a fishing
guide. With my depth finder saw how deep the holes were. I also
checked out another hole a guy told me about last week.
I caught 4 cats total 2 channels and 2 blues. the Channels were
3.6 and 2.7 pound. The one blue was 2.6 pounds. the baby blue was
about 7 inches long. It is good to see the blues having offspring so
there will be more blues in this section of the Ohio River in the
future.
I did have one of the hardest runs ever; that fish just had my
clicker running without stop. When I put my finger down to stop
the line it almost cut me. I was in 50 feet of water and I tighten
down my drag but it had little effect. he just stayed down and headed
down river. I set the hook and held on till I got him turned. I got
a couple turns of the reel and felt him and knew he was BIG!
Tightened the drag some more to get leverage to try to get him up off
the bottom. Had him for a few more turn before he wrapped me on some
type of sang! Never saw him for my line broke on the snag.
The rain came and I was stuck under a bridge waiting it out for 3
hours. My boat and motor checked out just fine . I now know about
the holes I had be wondering about all this season. Eager to head
back to those spots in the remaining weeks of this season. By the
way all the fish were caught on garlic salted chicken liver. Tight
lines nlcatfish

Bank Fishing 4 Cincinnati Catfish
Here are some of the few places for bank fishing around downtown Cincinnati. On the Cincinnati side of the Ohio River the Public Landing & Serpentine Wall are the spots to fish. You can drive your car right down to the river's edge at the Public Landing. When it is cold or wet you can watch your poles from the comfort of your car. I have talked with some guys that have caught fish right below the big red paddlewheel monument. I did have some hard bites there but never hooked the fish. The problem is my sinkers seem to find the snags too many times.
