Ohio River Help (rocky point)

Has anyone fished the river lately?(for bass) I'm fishing it this weekend and looking for some help. I really struggle this time of year on the river.

Hi. Glad you joined the Fishin.com board. A thought. You may want to re-consider your user name before you make too many posts. If we get complaints we may have to change your name and and then your posts may get lost.

fished up there a couple of weeks ago and couldn't get much goin. there were about 50 boats, and from everyone i talked to, they didn't do any good. most had went up the creeks and worked off the channels, but didn't get anything. we worked the river more and caught a few. best bet is the river itself where it flows into the creeks. fish right off the gas barge, i usually catch some big ones there

Thank's for the help, I've been hearing it's been pretty tough lately.

Peter, sorry about the username. It's meant towards the bass not people. I will change it just tell me where to go.

yea bass fishing up there tends to be tough, the bass are picky. if you look at the tournament weights, 9-10 lbs wins it, which tells you something. i usually fish up there for striper and crappie mostly. going up the creeks tends to only be successful before summer hits in. once it does, the bass don't shoot back up to far. they tend to stay at the mouths and feed on the baitfish in about 10-15 ft.

Actually, the creeks hold lots of good fish throughout Summer, as well as Spring, Fall, and Winter. It can yield bigger bags than10lbs. There were many tournaments that took 15-17lbs to win. Fish the main river for babies. Fish the creeks for hawgs.

what was the winning weight up there on saturday? everyone i talked to wasn't catching anything. we went up the creek and had no luck, and saw others coming and going from up the creek, yet i saw boats sitting in their spots out on the river like they had found them

I agree. I've personally witnessed fish that I didn't think existed in the river, caught in the very back of Little Deer.

hey BITEME check out my report on here I tried to get some information for you. I have not been able to fish this last week so Im relying on my sources. I heard a smaller paca craw was doing for the bass in creeks.
