Hydro's on the Ohio ??????

OK , so when someone slips off the little ledge in front of the hydros do you think that will be the end of bank fishing there ??

BTW , if anyone is actually going to be ignorant enough to get out there and fish do all the other guys a favor and maintain your lines so that all the rest of the people fishing dont have to canstanly keep getting tangled up in it. it sure ruined my few hours i got this weekend to fish. when someone is cat fishing on that ledge everyone else may as well go home unless you like getting wrapped up in teir line every cast. i catfish down there too but theres a better method than p*****g everyone off.

I'm a little PO'd about it and i think its a rude thing to do. bad thing is that a recue team is going to risk their lives trying to recover someone's body that apparently cant read the 30 signs posted up stating " DO NOT WALK, SWIM , WADE or FISH " in that area.

did i mention im a little fired up !!!! next time i beleive i'll have me a new rod and reel cause when i get wrapped up in their line im taking it all home with me. ;-)

I've seen them walk out to #3 and I was thinking are you an idiot or what. Your right BASSKING one bad, dumb apple will ruin it for the rest of us.I can't believe the corp. didn't put something up to keep people from taking that chance.

Chuck ive seen them come out and tell them to leave and even seen the water patrol run two guys off once. they dont care, plain and simple. the irony of it is when i was 17-18 i was actually THE IDIOT that would get out there but after spending more time on the river and seeing tragedy first hand you come to respect old man river.

Are you guys saying some one went out in front of the hydro's that was closed. And drowned?

NO,,,, i dont know if anyone has ever done that or not ,,, YET. it's bound to happen if there isnt some type of enforcement on this. the ledge is only around 12 inches wide maybe and yesterday it was covered in mud and someone could slip in very easily.

I am just ranting about the non existing ammount of respect people show each other while fishing.

what about the fishing, was anyone catching anything?:)

I hear you I had to push someones boat motor before it hit me. I was anchord and he wasn't.
