Good to see you posting in here again. We need more people posting in here IMHO. I'm trying to keep the post up but it's hard to do all by myself. LOL


I'm thinking about starting to fish for catfish and the Ohio River would be a good place to fish. I met one of my new neighbors last week and he's been fishing the Ohio For catfish for years. I might take him out in my boat to do some catfishing someday in the future. I did buy some circle hooks for catfishing and I have a In-Fisherman Magazine that has a good article on how to rig up for catfishing in the River. I've not done this before and am clueless to the type of gear I might need to catch some of the bigger cats out of the river. All my stuff is geared towards crappie and maybe lm bass. But I do have some really heavy reels and rods with rollers for line guides on the rod. Those should be able to handle a shark. LOL MY dad bought them years ago and we never really put them to good uses. They are about 1/2" in diameter at the tip and only about 5 ft long. And the reels are deep sea fishing type reels with lead core fishing line on them. That should catch some big fish. Unless the line is so old that it's needs to be replaces. It's about 30 years old now. But lead should last a long long time.
