Finally Got My Fishing Boat On The River!

Article: First fishing trip with boat in 2004!!

Finally got my boat in the river for 2004. Launched from The FREE ramp at the Cincinnati Public landing. Checked out the spots that I was shown last October by a fishing guide. With my depth finder saw how deep the holes were. I also checked out another hole a guy told me about last week. I caught 4 cats total 2 channels and 2 blues. the Channels were 3.6 and 2.7 pound. The one blue was 2.6 pounds. the baby blue was about 7 inches long. It is good to see the blues having offspring so there will be more blues in this section of the Ohio River in the future.

I did have one of the hardest runs ever; that fish just had my clicker running without stop. When I put my finger down to stop the line it almost cut me. I was in 50 feet of water and I tighten down my drag but it had little effect. he just stayed down and headed down river. I set the hook and held on till I got him turned. I got a couple turns of the reel and felt him and knew he was BIG! Tightened the drag some more to get leverage to try to get him up off the bottom. Had him for a few more turn before he wrapped me on some type of sang! Never saw him for my line broke on the snag.

The rain came and I was stuck under a bridge waiting it out for 3 hours. My boat and motor checked out just fine . I now know about the holes I had be wondering about all this season. Eager to head back to those spots in the remaining weeks of this season. By the way all the fish were caught on garlic salted chicken liver. Tight lines nlcatfish
