    As you face the river, just to your left off the ramp is a good place to try to catch some shad.

    BE SAFE!! That current is nothing to play with.
    Thanks and the current do u think it will be bad on Saturday?

    Taking into account the rain and snow to the east of us, I'd say they'll be releasing 40 feet for some time to come from the upper.

    You might also want to fish off the new ramp they installed that is somewhat parallel to the river. There is an eddy out from that new ramp that might hold fish.

    They are one and the same. The old ramp projected straight into the river. A new ramp was also installed at the same site,but is more parallel to the river. Both of the boat ramps are at the same location.

    Put a 5 inch white curly tail grub on a 1/4oz to 1/2oz jig. That can catch whites or sauger.

    Use a bank sinker,anywhere from 2 to 5 ounce depending on current, and a circle hook and bait it with shad or chicken liver for cats. Chicken liver will also catch whites.

    Good luck to you.

    fisherman14: Please disregard all info that I have given you. I went today in my boat and all I caught were drum!!

    There were two bank fisherman on the Clarksville ramp but I didn't observe them catch anything. The water today was still a little high. Catfish may be your best chance.
