Alright my father is a disable veteran and lives close to Louisville. He loves bass fishing and I have been going up there and trying to bass fish with him on the Ohio River. I have been three times and caught one little 10 incher. Let me state I am a pretty good bass fisherman and can go to any lake and do well. Something about this river is killing me. I have researched how to fish where to fish and nothing works. I have fished backwaters, shallow wood, riprap, main river, points, flats, you name it I have tried it. I even tried fishing alittle deeper for some smallmouth to with no luck. I have down sized lures and thrown jigs, spinnerbaits, all sorts of squarebills, deep divers( did catch a gar), senko, tubes, drop shot. I am completely exhausted trying to figure this out. I faced the current and presented each lure to come down current to the fish. We have launched out of Brandenburg and Louisville and have fished up and around 18 mile island. Any help would be great. Also the water was 74.7(surface) today. If a good river rat would like to ride along with me and show me the ropes out there it would be great. My boat, my truck, my gas. You just have to meet me at the ramp. let me know guys. Thanks
