I got my lines in the water around 07:40 at my favorite fishing
spot. I had 3 rods out with 3 different baits. I waited over 20
minutes without a bite, so I lifted up my anchor and moved. The
boat was moved just about 50 feet so I would still be fishing in
40 feet of water. Spent about 30 minutes when I decided to try
another hole down river. 25 minutes at that location produce no
action either, so moved again. This spot showed fish right by
the bridge pier so I gave it shot. I was just about to wind in
the rods when the center rod got a hard bite. I picked up the
rod and the fish was pulling the line tight, got a solid hook on
the fish. When I got it up the channel cat was of reasonable
size. Once in the boat I measured it off. It was 23 inches and
4.6 pounds per my digital scale.The catput up a very strong
fight for am catfish that size. One picture then back into the
Ohio River it was returned. That way someone else will have the
thrill of hooking it some time in the future. I stayed a little
loner but that was all for that spot. Seems that was only hungry
catfish in the river.
The rest of the morning I boated to a number of different spots
checking for fish with my fish finder. I never saw more that one
here and one there, not a lot at any place. I even tried fishing
at 3 more spot but no bites at all! I called it a day at noon
time and headed home. Everyone I talked to over the past 5 days
says the same thing. Very few bites if any and hooking a fish is
a real accomplishment. There is just NO CURRENT in the Ohio
River at this time. Hopefully on my next time to wet a line I
will get happier results. Tight Lines o all. nlcatfish@fuse.net
