[QUOTE=mybentrod;423233]Ok, this is a question for you Ohio River fishermen. I went for a cruise yesterday down by West Point on the Ohio and stopped to fish down by a discharge.

Does the term "discharge" confuse you? The discharge might have been from a sewer outlet and thus the floaters.

Onemorecast56 has a "secret" spot he throws his castnet for bait. He was telling me the story of how a friend of his holds a castnet weight in his teeth when he throws. Once the friend saw the "floaters" he started retching and spitting and never put a weight from a cast net in his mouth again.
