Falls of Ohio report

[TroyRalph502]

Water was rough and it was quite windy. But the fish were biting. Almost right as we got there my smaller pole got de spooled by a runner. Caught 3 perch and two stripers on jigs. Decent size to them but nothing too heavy.
My cousin managed to catch an eel there. My first time ever encountering one in person. I was pretty amazed to look at it.
Only fished for about two and a half hours but i was pleased with the river today.

Were you fishing from the bank? How big were the stripers?

Thanks for the report. The river is still too high for me to launch my boat and feel comfortable with it.

[TroyRalph502]

Yea, we were bank fishing. The stripers were around 3-5lbs. Nothing big yet, but a good time catchin fish.

Yeah I heard the sirens all day today at home they raised it up pretty high

I saw that they were going to be raising it is why i decided to go. Wanted to see if anything was happening down there yet this year. Looks promising for may, as long as the water can stay at a normal level.

An Eel? I would like to see a pic of that....was it a Lamprey?

[TroyRalph502]

Yes, it looks like it was a lamprey. We took pictures and a video. Just waiting on my cousin to upload them so i can post. I thought it was wild looking.
