Hey gar we are still gonna try friday morning. If no jumps are there any good catfish holes to look for?
I'm sorry I'm not a catfisherman, I'm just a catfish eaterman.(ha) It seems like I've seen them at (1) the edge of the last open gate, (2) near the scour hole that is in front of the rip-rap on the ky. side and (3) right in the middle of the river where the swift water begins to smooth out,(4) through up into the boils near the dam and drift downstream. Again, I don't fish for catfish and this could be totally inncorrect.
You need to take a bait rod with you to catch some skipjack if your catfishing. Your chances of catching cats are much better if you use fresh cut bait.
JUst got back and I'm still hot as hell. River was scorching. Well managed 2 channel cats, one blue and one flathead which was about 8pds. Oh yeah one 17 inch sauger. Loads on skipjacks too many to count and big ones at that. Those big ones are like freshwater tarpon as soon as you hook one they are out of the water jumping loose. Good time, would go back if the hybrids whites or stripers were in the jumps good but not really worth the drive for me to catch what we got. Thanks for the directions and help.
