BANK FISHING 4 CINCINNATI CATFISH
Here are some of the few places for bank fishing around downtown Cincinnati. On the Cincinnati side of the Ohio River the Public Landing & Serpentine Wall are the spots to fish. You can drive your car right down to the river’s edge at the Public Landing. When it is cold or wet you can watch your poles from the comfort of your car. I have talked with some guys that have caught fish right below the big red paddlewheel monument. I did have some hard bites there but never hooked the fish. The problem is my sinkers seem to find the snags too many times.
The Serpentine Wall is the water is a good 17 feet deep right off the walk area. take a dip net to get your fish from the water up to the walk way. The old ice breakers on the east end of the wall is one of the better places. By all means secure your pole to one of the short concret tie ups for boats. When a cat grabs your bait and the rod is not secured your rod will be gone in a flash. There is no way you will ever get it back in that deep of water. When the river is down in pool stage there is current flowing between the 3 breakers. Channel and flaheads are caught along those 2 spots.
