Where to put in on the River

[mybentrod]

I am going to hang out and catfish by the falls. Where is there a safe boat ramp near by?

[Tim_T]

Greenwood ramp is open now.

[mybentrod]

Which is better fishing upper or lower?

[Tim_T]

Someone will be along to answer that question. I am not experienced enough to really say.

[mybentrod]

The closest ramp to the dam/Falls is the New Albany ramp underneathe the I-64 bridge. Ramp is almost completely out of the water, but I still see boats launching. Greenwood is deeper. Middle Creek on IN side (4 mi downstream) should also be deeper. Make sure to stay in the middle of the ramp...rest is tore up pretty bad.

Ok got to fishing with chicken livers and posted up on the point right before the locks. Set up anchor and threw out my lines. Almost immediately began to get bit. However, it kept stripping my liver off. Having dealt with this before I have heard of using panty hose to keep the little fish from picking at it. So I wrapped it up and still got picked. No big tugs just little taps. Then nothing check the bait and it's gone. Any suggestions?

Channel cats and small stripes are probably whats taking your bait. I would use shad,skips, or mooneye for bait.As of this morning @6am they have 3ft at the lower dam no units at hydro as said before try to find water with a little current blues will be there, the 40ft hole right behind the lower dam might be holding a fish or two. You might try to fish some structure, down trees,rockpiles, sunk barges,and cars for flathead.Live bluegill,bullhead cats,or live shad will work well. Hope this helps..Chuck
