Ohio River fishing near Louisville

[DavidPT40]

Is there a good spot within an hour's drive of Louisville to fish on the Ohio River? I'm looking for a place where you can stay all night without having to worry about personal safety. When I lived in Paducah, I'd drive to a WMA and fish on the Mississippi River. I had a blast, caught all kinds of fish: drum, sturgeon, channel, flathead, blues, etc. Now that the weather is getting warm, I'm ready to do some more night fishing.

mcalpine dam is a great place to fish, are you fishing from a boat or the bank? there are plenty of hotels around louisville, you can check the river levels and flow at 502-775-5056 if fishing from a boat there is a lot of area to fish I like it around 13 to 18 feet personaly if I fish around the dam higher than 18 and I start to move down river, good luck.
