upper licking river

[john48]

does anyone have any tips or advice on where to bass fish on the licking river? i put in at fredricks. i've had a little luck by the mouth of the ohio but that was about it.

Head south, fish around the I-275 bridge. Look for rock banks that have laydowns. Try the mouth of Banklick creek and up into Banklick. Go all the way up to the first riffle and hit the rock banks or shoals and riffles. A small spinnerbait or a shallow diving crankbait are good bets. I live right on the river about 15 miles south of Cincy. I put my boat in at Millers Tavern. Cost $5, nice ramp and is closer to the better fishing. Also fish at or around the mouth coming in to the Ohio River.
