Falls of the Ohio Jax Salmon

[catchandfillet]

I fished the falls for 2 hours this afternoon from 2-4. I fished from the spillway down to the observatory with not even a bite. The conditions looked perfect but apparently I was wrong. Using white an chartreuse grubs. The water level was 14 ft.

Everyone be safe down there.

Hey guy's is the first gate at the lower dam still closed(i guess for repair) or do they have all 4 open. Chuck

Hey Chuck, all four gates are open again. They have had all four open for about a week now. I was able to get some nice sized sauger today along with quite a few small ones. I gave Jay some of the bigger ones today. He has a hand injury and is unable to fish.

That's an understatement jay ,it was a real b lol wind like to beat me to death. I managed one small blue in the mid 20s and a flat around 15 that eat a very big piece of bait. Certainly wasn't a day on the river for the faint of heart.
