Ohio River and all the Rain???

Have any of you fine fellars seen the river yet today to see what the latest monsoon may have done?? Maybe going tomorrow and was wondering what to expect, mud, debris ect. Thanks for any info. What do you think Chuck, has it messed us up???

The NOAA charts seem to say that the river will be unaffected by the rain. As dry as it has been I'd say that a lot of the rain soaked in. There may be a bit of trash floating but nothing that should hinder your fishing. As always be careful out there, it is the river after all;)

I don't think so Mark, it seems the majority of the rain was to the south. The soil isn't saturated either so it shouldn't affect us tomorrow. There is a front coming from the nw I'm keepin an eye on, So core permiting we should do allright...Chuck

Haven't fished tournaments for years, my boat is to small to keep up with the big boys... And the purchase of a new house has dropped my new boat down the list of thing to buy. Livewell big enough to hold big fish won't fit and the tourney directors frown on tying your fish to a tree so you don't have to pull them in and out of your boat.lol Last week mark H. and myself managed around 158#s in about 6 hours of fishing a 43,45 and 60# anchored the weight all big fish were blue's. As far as big fish excluding the many 40#'s I've caught this year a 57,58, 60, and a 79#er,all blues and the flat bite will be pickin up soon.....Can't wait....good luck Chuck.

Dude it was on last Friday. We had 158.4lbs of Cats in five fish. We've got some poloroid pictures of a 42.5, 45.9, and a 60lb, the other two was an 8lb and a dink 2 plus channel. I'm not BS'ing, we had witnesses and we've got pictures, it was on. The 42.5lb was my personal best so far, that just a puppy to the riverat12 but it was a big deal to me. If we see ya down there we'll holler at ya.

Sorry, I guess Chuck and I were posting at the exact same time, story sounds the same though don't it..........

well i`m going to come down there and get in chucks back pocket,,,or take that (cough cough) water bottle out of chucks boat....LOL,,I need to talk to you chuck,,,,

I don't know about this mhall fellar. Claims to be a lover of bronze fish, but he's been chasing stripers and cats most of this year....





:D Good luck gents, hope Mark gets that 60!
