bass brat, i am from the cincinnati area tyrius - thank you for your advice. i will definitley take that into consideration and see where it gets me this weekend if not during the week. thanks everyone!!!

thank you charliebrown. i will look into that setup as well.

is there anyone out there that has fished at East Fork Lake in Cincinnati? If so would you happen to know the types of fish that are in that lake? I have fished out there quite a bit and have never caught anything. I have talked to other fishers in the area and they say that there are catfish but i hear of no other types. i dont have a boat but is anyone fimiliar with the shore fishing at this lake? if so, what are some key spots that arn't then main spots?

thank you stoopid mook. i will definitley look at them

i have been fishing for quite a while now. not on a consistant basis but enough to think i know how......................so i thought. : i sat down and started to browse the net for fishing pole set ups to see if i have been doing it right. only for the fact that i NEVER catch anything. I just as well tie a rock to my line and throw that in the water :'( right now i have my sinkers at the bottom of my line followed by a hook about 12" above the sinker and then a bobber about 1-2 feet above the hook. i have tried power baits, rubber maggot bait, night crawlers as well as some catfish bait. Nothing....i can't even catch a cold!!! if i decide to use some crank baits for testing i was thinking of "Strike King® Red Eye Shad Crankbaits - 1/2 oz.". do you need sinkers, bobbers or bait on these hooks? or is it a matter of tying this lure onto the line and casting? can anyone please help? i think this might be helpful, i live in ohio, and fish in ponds and streams. id like to find something for fall fishing as well as spring/summer. have no clue about winter fishing, not up for that yet. :-/ i need some assistance bad, getting tired of going out and not getting results. any assistance would greatly be appreciated
