Does anyone know if the Blue and Channel cats are spawning in the Ohio and Kentucky rivers??? I figure it is about time for it to happen.

Yep they'll be headin deep soon;)
thanks guys for the replies.
Not Sure if channel catfish in lakes spawn at different times than the river. I fished East Fk lake in OH and cleaned a few cats that were full of eggs this past sunday. The fish were right on the banks and caught on crappie minnows right along with the crappie. My 5 yr old loved the fight of those channels!
Alot depends on the water temp. Catfish have one of the longest spawning periods ...can last two months or better. You may have a spawn at one end of the lake and a month later one at the other end. With you being alittle to the north your water temps are probably a little cooler. Once the water temps hit the 70's most cats will anticipate spawning.Chuck
