Anyone know anything about the Falls of the Ohio??

Not sure about the catfish but if you just want to catch a fish go down there with a regular pond spinning reel and cast an in-line spinner. You will catch skipjack and some striped bass. And if you do get a snag try just opening your bail. Most of the time the current will pull you right off the rock. Also casting grubs and stick baits can be good attics for bass. Fisherman14 and I usually try to fish the bend and have seen people pull catfish, drum, skipjack, bass, and Asian carp. It's a great time but be ready to use some rock climbing skills! Hope this helps if you have any questions pm me. Thanks, drew

All good information. To add a couple,you can also keep up with the water levels by calling 775-5056 updated every 4 hours with new forcasts at the 2 o'clock reading.As far as bait I prefer Mooneye,skipjack,shad, bluegill and buffalo depending on what you want to catch.As far as set up I use mostly 60# test, with a 10\0Gamakatsu hook somewhat rigged like you would drop shot for bass with the wieght on the bottem and hook suspended above.The amount of weight will very with the water flow. As mentioned look for water breaks,eddies,structure or transitional areas of terrain.With that said everything you do and the area you fish will depend on the Water level, for things can change down there right in front of you. I would suggest keeping a log book with spicifics that you can relate to, date, time, water level,weather patterns, and so on. Purchace a throw net if you don't have one...the best bait is fresh bait. Hope this helps, I've caught a couple down there...Be safe and listen for sirens. Good luck Chuck

The falls is my second home in the spring, summer, and fall. I have fished there for quite a few years. I always try to target catfish and I have found the best place is right under the observatory. There is a fairly good sized hole there to fish. But the best time to fish is when the water is 16ft or lower. I use either skipjack or carp. And a heavy weight is needed t keep your bait on the bottom. If your in the Louisville area I can turn you toward a few other spots that have produced goo catfish for me.
