We were fishing at cannelton. Went again Friday. Caught about the same but alot smaller. River on the rise and alot muddier. Looked at river forcast going higher. Happens every time fish start biting river gets wild.

Congrats guys. Got to catch em when you can. Been about 3 years since I was able to fish the Ohio. What were you using, minnows, jigging curly tails or spoons, etc..

Never made it to Cannelton, but spent a lot of time at Newburgh jigging spoons off the lock wall or drowning minnows while drifting below the dam.

Fish Long and Prosper,
