Just curious if anyone would be comfortable using this boat ramp after dark. I’ve fished behind the falls at night don’t think I would leave vehicle unattended and possible personal safety issues. Not the best place to be after dark.

I have never fished the Ohio river and as I read this article I was also wondering if this was a decent area and a good stretch of the river to fish. Anyone?
I wouldn't trust it during the day.
Shootings aren't uncommon in that neighborhood.

Can be some really good fishing behind dams. Be careful and wear personal flotation devices. Lots of current and shallow water rock formations just below surface depending on river levels. As far as ramp I would make trip across bridge. Personal opinion ramp in Shawnee park is a big waste of tax payer money, don’t think I would use it during day and definitely not at night. Also, be on the look out for Asian Carp!

Which ramp should I use across the bridge? Thanks.
The amphitheater in New Albany is the one I use. It's right off 64 and easy to see if your coming over the Sherman Minton. As far as a ramp in that neck of the woods...no thanks, I didn't feel good about the Greenwood boat ramp the few times I had to use it and this one is going to be even closer to crazy stuff. Chuck

Thanks Chuck. I looked it up,looks like a good area,good ramp,easy to get too and about 2 mile from Hydro's. Now looking at the river over the years at different water levels it looks like I would be better to go to the right of Sand Island and slow down toward the end I have a fiberglass boat so rocks and fiberglass are not the best of friends. Seance the early years of watching Hope Carlton on Kentucky Afield fish for Walleye/ Sauger I have wanted to fish here, Now 60 I need to pull the trigger or for get it.

Never fished on the Ohio. Is the walleye/sauger bite a consistent bite? Like worth driving 3.5 hours for? Just curious. I know a fella can get up there and catch blues pretty regular from what I have read and seen but i'm not crazy about eating blues. Thanks!!
