BANK FISHING 4 CINCINNATI CATFISHWritten by NLCATFISH
BANK FISHING 4 CINCINNATI CATFISH Here are some of few places for bank fishing around downtown Cincinnati. On Cincinnati side of Ohio River Public Landing & Serpentine Wall are spots to fish. You can drive your car right down to river's edge at Public Landing. When it is cold or wet you can watch your poles from comfort of your car. I have talked with some guys that have caught fish right below big red paddlewheel monument. I did have some hard bites there but never hooked fish. The problem is my sinkers seem to find snags too many times. The Serpentine Wall is water is a good 17 feet deep right off walk area. take a dip net to get your fish from water up to walk way. The old ice breakers on east end of the wall is one of better places. By all means secure your pole to one of short concret tie ups for boats. When a cat grabs your bait and 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 river is down in pool stage there is current flowing between 3 breakers. Channel and flaheads are caught along those 2 spots. On Kentucky side of Ohio you can fish mouth of Licking River.

Buffalo Bill was introduced to golf by his father at age 5 and started his PGA Tour career in 1955 at age of 24, which could be considered a late start compared to today's standards. Even with this late start he ended up with 51 wins on PGA Tour, 6th on all time win list. Included in those 51 victories are two U.S Opens and one Masters. He also has won nine Senior Tour Championships including two Senior Majors, one of them USGA Senior Open in 1983.Buffalo Bill was inducted into World Golf Hall of Fame in 1978 and PGA Hall of fame in 1982. He played on eight Ryder Cup teams and captained 1979 Ryder Cup. He won five Vardon Trophies, awarded to player with lowest scoring average for year, and was a two-time Player of The Year winner. In 1968 he was first player to surpass $200,000 in single-season earnings and won his second money title. He was also second player in history to reach $1 million career earnings mark, Arnold Palmer being first. These are highlights on Buffalo Bill's golfing career. Only five people in history of game have accomplished more on PGA Tour. Sam Snead leads all time victory list with 81 wins, followed by Jack Nicklaus with 73 and Ben Hogan with 64, "The King", Arnold Palmer, has 62 and Byron Nelson has 52, to round out top five. All five of these great champions, as well as lesser-accomplished pros, are talked about all time, but not Buffalo Bill. For some reason his name only pops up occasionally. One would think that with credentials like these, his name would be a household word at least through-out golfing world. Yet, for some reason that is not case.
