Blue Catfish
Chasing blue catfish near Worthington Hills, Kentucky, requires a bit of a drive to the Ohio River or its tributaries. However, the effort can be well worth it, as these waters hold some impressive blue cats. The Ohio River, accessible via various boat ramps and bank fishing spots downstream, is the primary target. Spring and fall offer the best fishing, with blues actively feeding before and after spawning. Focus on deep holes, channel edges, and areas with current breaks. Cut bait, especially skipjack herring or shad, is the go-to bait for blues in this area. A Carolina rig or three-way swivel rig fished near the bottom is a proven method. Be aware of fluctuating river levels, which can impact fishing conditions. A popular access point is the boat ramp at Six Mile Island, offering good access to the Ohio River. Local anglers have caught blues exceeding 60 pounds in this stretch of the river.
