I have fished down around the neelys bend ramp but that's as far as I went and up into the mouth of that other river right across from it. Water was pushing pretty good that day too just not near as much as it has been here lately
I'll take any pointers you want to give. I'm always learning and trying to figure out new species. This fall, my attention has been on crappie. But I do want to find some sauger/walleye too.
I primarily bass fish, but that has become a little monotonous and boring. Don't get me wrong, I love it and love to have a few in a skillet, but as I've gotten older I'm wanting to expand my horizons and do more.

When there flowing like they have been you'll still see the current all the way down to ashland city. Ive had a couple close calls myself, when they are running that much water the river is another animal with eddys and whirlpools everywhere makes running on plane like your on ice sliding all around. Definitely want to stay away from the channel buoys they will suck you right into them. Saw someone drifting once below oh and they did just that got to close and big metal buoy went right under there boat.
