Hey Ohio guys, I didn't see a topic for GMR.

Anyone fish this regularly? if so, what part? I'm looking at where to launch a boat at, and what areas will be deep enough to not worry about tearing stuff up? any advice will help!

TIA!

I just started fishing the GMR this year, and already have 23 smallies 17" or longer, and 12 of them were fish Ohio bass....18" or over.  So it is an awesome smallie river.  As far as a good place to launch a boat from...that is tough.  I use a kayak in the Dayton area and it is way too shallow for a boat.  I think you need to get further south, closer to Cincinnati to use a boat safely.  Others have much more experience on the river than me, and may know a good place for a boat.  Following...

That's kind of what I heard as well, I know rivers change every time it rains. Maybe a Kayak is in my future after all. I'm in Greenville, so its not too far to shoot over to Piqua.
