River fishing in general...two questions

[Chubminnow]

JFW - More often than not, what ramp do you put in at the most when fishing the Ohio? I know you fish below the Hydro's, so do I occassionally...but when you go else where, what ramp do you most often use?

I use Duffys in Jeff In .Its a great ramp Its upriver from Jeff Boat about 2 miles if that ,,,,

We fished my Bass hole Monday and didn't get one bite ...:( ,I guess they have moved to deeper water ....

I believe you can still catch some sauger ...in the duck pond though ....but its too cold for me today .

I am gonna make a bunch of leadheads today ....just got the hooks from the new Bass Pro ...its an awesome store

I copy clipped the following directly from the KDFWR website...I guess if I'd have checked there first I never would have to asked the question...thanks for your replys though!

Striped bass – Stocked in rivers and reservoirs having sufficient cool water habitat and available forage to create an additional open water sport fishery. Striped bass are stocked in June as 1.5-inch fingerlings at a rate of 5-10 fish per acre.

Just razzing the river rats jfw, my inability to catch black bass there in no way reflects how good the fishery is. I don't know the river, and have had some very rough days finding keepers above the Markland dam.

JFW - The Duffy's landing ramp...is there any charge to launch a boat there?

Also, how about the ramp itself, is it a pretty decent ramp? Is there anything I would need to out watch for? What kind of boat do you have for the river?
