Skipjack on the OhioRiver - Meldahl
Well we below the dam today in hopes of catching a few skipjack. I'm fairly new at this, most of the time I use live bluegill for cats, but have seen many folks having success with frozen skipjack for big blues. According to the research I have done, when they are there you can catch them with grubs on a sabiki (spelling) rig of some sort.
Well they were jumping all over the place today, but we could not get them to hit anything, we only had two hookups the entire trip and both off at the boat.
We tried large grubs, small grubs, different colors, some with blades....nothing worked.
Is this normal or were we doing something fundamentally wrong ?
I know many of you fish the Ohio, so any advice on when/where/how to catch these guys will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
