Walleye
Targeting walleye around South Point, Ohio, requires understanding the Ohio River's unique characteristics. While saltwater/brackish is not accurate, the river offers excellent walleye fishing. The best time to chase these fish is during the spring and fall, coinciding with their spawning migrations and feeding frenzies as water temperatures change. Focus on areas with current breaks, such as submerged structure, points, and the mouths of tributaries. Natural presentations like jigging minnows or crankbaits that mimic the local forage are highly effective. Pay attention to water clarity; walleye are light-sensitive, so stained water conditions can improve your chances. A local tip is to fish near the dams along the Ohio River, as these areas often concentrate walleye. Remember to check the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for any specific regulations regarding size limits or catch-and-release requirements. The walleye population here is healthy, with opportunities to catch both eater-sized fish and trophy specimens.
