Fishing Overview for Ohio River

Louisville’s signature fishery offers expansive access and diverse targets—blue, channel, and flathead catfish, plus white bass, hybrid striped bass, sauger/saugeye, freshwater drum, and seasonal skipjack herring for bait. Spring sauger and white bass runs, summer night catfishing around current seams, and fall feeding frenzies around shad schools keep action steady; prime banks and ramps line the waterfront from Shawnee Park to Riverview Park, with plenty of boat access to wing dikes and eddies.

Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:44 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing.

Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 3 beaches and bays in this area.
