Channel Catfish
For those seeking whiskerfish action near Fox Chase, Kentucky, the Ohio River offers some excellent channel catfish opportunities. Focus your efforts on areas with structure, such as submerged logs, rock piles, and bridge pilings. Night fishing is particularly productive, as catfish are most active under the cover of darkness. Summer is prime time, with the warmer water temperatures encouraging catfish to feed aggressively. Chicken liver, cut bait, and nightcrawlers are all reliable bait choices. A helpful tip is to use a slip-sinker rig to allow the catfish to take the bait without feeling resistance. The channel catfish in this area are known for their robust size, with many fish exceeding 10 pounds, so be prepared for a serious battle.
