And the saga continues - Getting worse.
Date 10/14/07 from 1-5 PM (Yeah Just 4 hours - Didn't want to watch Bengals lose. UGH!)
Location: Carrollton KY, Ohio River
Weather 76 Deg & Clear, Lt Var Winds
Water Temp 70-72
12 Boats
8 Bass Caught
1st place 2 Bass 4.4 pounds
2nd place 2 bass 2.8 pounds (Me) Figures! Crankbaits.
Big Bass 2.4 Smallmouth
And so on.

There's a major 2 day state finals tournament here next weekend 10/20 & 21st. We'll try to get results. Also I'd expect many to go upstream and lock thru to the Markland Pool.

Note: I've been fishing the Ohio River since 1980. Water clarity could be compared to that of inland lakes it's that clear. Attribute this to Zebra Mussels and drought. Zebra Mussels may filter as much as 2.5 gallons of water per day. They were introduced to the water ways by barges emptying their ballasts. I first noticed them back in the 80's. And with this you'd think the River is clean. Recent news report last week on Cincinnati tv station said that the Ohio River is one of the worst polluted rivers in the country.
