Can anyone help me with some places to fish? I go to Casterlines and Chaps all the time but was wanting some other places to fish. I refuse to go to AJ Jolly and catch the little yellow belly catfish too. Thanks

Pond in my backyard has some killer catfish and bass in it. But it's very, very expensive to fish at this private pond. :laugh:

Ohio River down by Mike Finks..you can pull some HOG catfish out as well as CARP.

Where is Mike Finks? :lol: One of my dads friends pulled a 40 pound catfish down by where Hooters is with a McDonalds french fry.

Finks is in Covington. We used to go down there and pull 10 to 15 pounders out all the time while the folks leaving from dinner would clap. All the old fogeys were fascinated by the size of the fish. Hilarious. We used chicken livers and White Castle fries.

Not sure I would actually eat anything I caught in the mighty mighty Ohio River.

:lol:. Seriously, one of my friend's name IS Mike Fink. I can't wait to tell him about this place. :thumb:

I used to think the same thing till someone took me boating last year. You could actually get into the river and see your feet. this was up past Dayton, Ky. It was cleaner than Cumberland!!

I was shocked to say the least. The locals have done a good job cleaning up the river.

Doesn't mean that those fish haven't been exposed to Mercury (Hg) or and PCB (polychlorinated benzene) contamination. You have to watch out, just because it is clear doesn't mean a thing.

Another good spot is down off Route 8 in Silver Grove right across the river from Coney Island and Riverbend. Its a nice sand beach and we pull nice sized fish out of there all the time.

I found a website that is all around NKY fishing areas, cincypaylakes.com. They are all pay lakes in NKY or Cincy areas.

Fished by the Fink for an hour today. Happy to say my girlfriend pulled out 2 HOG cats.

Fished down by Fink a few nights ago and caught a nice size channel cat and was getting alot of bites on white castle fries but wasnt there that long.

Is that the old Ferry crossing down there or is it futhur up the river a little bit.

I believe its ORSANCO that publishes its recommendation each year of how many and how often certain species of fish caught in the Ohio River should be consumed. As I recall, the greatest concern is with catfish. For the record, I've consumed fish out of the Ohio River with no ill effects (well, at least none that I aware of ).
