I'm new to the area and would love to learn all the great spots to fish around here if someone could lead me in the right direction. I've been to fisherman's park and have caught some decent catfish there and it is quiet which is definitely a plus. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know.
It would help to know were your at.

Probably somewhere in the greater Louisville/E-town area, if that's the Fisherman's Park he's talking about.
It would also help to know if he has a boat or not, and what particular specie/species he's interested in catching.

Easy access and there's usually something that's willing to bite.

Man, I've not done that in years.......
that is way, way cool. I might have to get my portable stuff together and go down there.........Neat.
if your into catfish there is a lighted slab of concrete on the waterfront of the Ohio River on the Louisville side where you can cast right at the piling of the Big Four Bridge (look on google maps you will see it). My brother and I have had great success there running bottom rigs with a 2-4 oz lead and circle hooks with cut bluegill. My brother caught a real nice flathead a few weeks back.

Long Run Park has a decent bass bite from the bank, even better if you have a kayak. Frogs, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and weighted texas rig Strike King rage craws and havoc craw fatty's are productive.
If you catch it at the right time the tailwaters at Taylorville Lake can be dynamite for Largemouth bass, spotted bass, Crappie, and Hybrid Striped Bass. Main lake has a good population of Largemouth but typically not huge fish.
Fisherman's Lake at Beckley Creek Park can be a decent bank fishing day, and Long Run is close if the bite isn't on.
In the warmer months a wacky rigged senko in green pumpkin, or june bug or a black and blue chatterbait does wonders at Mcneely Lake. Good bank access, and plenty of Largemouth in the 2-3 pound range.
Hope this helps, tight lines!
