CINCINNATI CATFISH GUIDE'S GOLDEN TIPS
You have permission to publish this article in its entirety either, electronically or in print, free of charge. As long as the bylines are included. A courtesy copy of your publication would be greatly appreciated! Thank You. Nuggets From A Cincinnati Catfish Guide I attended a seminar the other week by a local professional catfish guide. This guide works the Ohio River about 15 miles above and below Cincinnati.
His information relates to catfishing on bigger rivers such as the Ohio. The fishing spot he takes his clients fishing depends on the amount of current in the river. The pool stage for the Ohio at Cincinnati is 26.6 feet. According to him when the river is in pool than catfishing is very poor. He prefers the river to be in the 27 to 28 feet range with some current for the best fishing action.
Once the river gets above 30 feet then the current is too strong for good fishing. When there is some current he prefers to bait with fresh cut bait. The current allows the scent trail to spread all over to the catfish. In low or no current conditions he uses live bait. The vibrations of the live bait will be pickup by the catfish in quite waters.Skipjacks are the bait fish he prefers for they have a very oily body that produces a excellent scent trail.
The big problem is locating the skipjacks to use as bait. Normally you just have to fish for the skipjacks and load up a small cooler. Then get home and bag them for a freezer. Shad are much easier to locate and to catch for a fishing trip. Once a school is spotted just throw out your casting net.
He normally makes a couple casts and has his large live well loaded for his client's trip. He uses a simple rig of, main line 30 pound mono, 2-4 ounces of sinker, tied to a mono leader of 50 pound test. He prefers a 6/0 to 8/0 octopus circle style hooks. He has FLAT sinker which are great, however they are hard to come by around here.
According to him the catfish will be found in 30 feet or deeper holes, the Garr and other fish usually do not stay in water that deep.
Flatheads are home bodies; hang tight to structure such as sunken barges, boulders, and sunken trees. Blue cats like cooler water, stronger current and will suspend. The action for cats picks up when the water temperature is in the 68-70 degree range. The day time temperatures are much higher in the summer around here. During the summer months, the local pleasure boats forces you to fish at night or early morning around downtown Cincinnati.
He does watch his depth finder for any big changes on the river bottom. To him any sudden change in depth is what he will check out. He really does not depend on marking fish. Since he has spent so many hours on this section of the Ohio River he already knows nearly all the honey holes. He does suggest only checking out the area of the river between New Richmond and North Bend Ohio.
Along that stretch of river pay special attention to outside bends of the river. If there is a local heavy rain, check the storm sewers that flow into the river.
That stuff washing into the river sets off a dinner bell response to catfish, and they put on the feed bag.Hopefully, these nuggets of information from a professional catfish guide will put more and bigger catfish at the other end of your line this season. Tight lines to all. nlcatfish@fuse.net webmaster for Cincinnati Catfishing

Why Count Strokes When Swimming Freestyle?
You may have had coaches that make you count strokes throughout the workout, either by mixing it into drill sets, the main set, or at the end of workout. Some coaches recommend making a habit of always keeping track of your stroke count. As a coach of distance swimmers and triathletes, I believe stroke counting is a necessary part of most swimming workouts.If you stick with it and do it on a consistent basis, stroke counting in swimming is an excellent way to increase your DPS (Distance Per Stroke). The world's best swimmers are faster than you because they travel further with each stroke, not because they are moving their arms faster. Keeping track of the number of strokes you take per length will allow you to begin to lengthen out your stroke, as well as add more speed and distance while keeping your heart rate down and allowing you to save your energy for later in the swim or race.The goal should be to bring down your average stroke count per length.
Great swimmers like Alexander...

Goal Setting - Forget about it
Many motivational speakers and self-help books will tell youthat you must have goals. I've even advocated goal settingmyself in the past. You write down your goals and detail them for family life,friends, finances, career, recreation, health, learning,education and your spiritual life. However, I've now come to the conclusion that successfulpeople with strong self-belief don't do goal setting in thisway - why? - Because their too busy doing what they need todo to get what they want to get.Successful people don't spend time writing down what theywant out of life they just get on and do it. To besuccessful at whatever it is you want to do, you need to askyourself - what do I really want to achieve? What are mydreams and desires, what do I want to build, to create andwhat sort of person do I want to be.
You need to clearly identify what it is you want out oflife, what do you hunger and thirst for, what do you reallywant to achieve? If someone held your head under water you'd quickly...

Essential Oil Application Methods
BATH:Add 10-12 drops of a single oil or a blend to 1/2 Cup Epsom Salts or baking soda - or 5 drops to 1 TBSP of Epsom Salts or baking soda. Pour it into a hot bath while it is filling. Soak until water cools.DIRECT INHALATION:Apply 2-3 drops of essential oil or blend to palm of one hand, rub palms together, cup hands over nose and mouth and inhale vapors deeply 6-8 times.DIFFUSION:A few drops in a diffuser (for therapeutic use, cold air diffusers do not harm the fragile properties of essential oils), you can buy electric devices, candle warmed, ceramic rings to place on light bulbs, or just use a bowl of warm water.However, using heat to diffuse essential oils will destroy essential oils, rendering them therapeutically ineffective. Cold air diffusers gently break up essential oils into tiny molecules through micro diffusion thus retaining the integrity of the oils. This process creates a fine mist vapor that floats in the air and can be absorbed gently into the body through the respiratory...
