We killed them on WEd too but mostly Stripers and the one walleye

no boat, i waded the upper and fishe the hydros from the first gate on down the mud bank

[BASSKING]

jfw, when you refer to the mud bank how for away from the hydros are you talking about ? i seen a few guys fishing where it makes the turn back out into the river and that bank is mud/sand but i didnt see them catching much

[jfw]

I meant the mud bank down about 250 yards from the hydro

Not the chute ...( where the river turns)

well i was at the river today,,,could get pass the lower gates,,,too rough from all the water they was a bustin out,,,even scared in the Ranger,,,but managed 1 nice 8lb striper, some smaller ones,,and about 10small cats,,,behind the hydros,,,,man somebody needs to buy the Ranger I`ve been working on,,,I tested it again today,,took 1-2 ft waves like a caddy,,,then we hit the big rollers,,,could run 45----4000 rpms,,,and took then with ease,,never got splashed 1 time,,,hell of a boat for the cheap price

Yep the fishing is good and I like the fact you could catch anything down there. Fell free to come say hello or share fishing tips!!!!

For someone who is new to fishing the Ohio, which direction are the Hydro's from the West Point, Salt River ramp? I have a 20ft Fish and Ski and would love to get into some of those stripper/Sauger bites I hear about. I live right by Dixie and it would be a 10 minute drive to that ramp.

Its up river but as some one that is still new to fishing the area (about 6x in my own boat) I HIGHLY suggest your first SEVERAL trips are with some one that knows the area well. The area is unforgiving and will take your life if you are not careful.

Thanks. I will heed that warning and I understand there are alot of surprises out on the Ohio that can put a hole in your boat or ruin a lower unit. I will try to hook up with one of the seniors on this forum before I just decide to put in. I usually go on a whim though when I decide to go fishing. I rarely have time enough to ask buddies as it's 10:00 PM when I decide to go early the next morning. I better get some friends who stay up late and who know the area huh?
