Hi CatNip. I’ve been launching at Watergate Marina. They have a great ramp without current. $10 to launch, and you can pull out anytime of the night you want.

Other options are Lillydale, Hidden Falls park, and 494. (This is Pool 2 right)?

Here is a link to the Miss river guide. Look at the maps for info on places to lauch your boat.

Other than that, do a good search on this forum about catfishing and you will learn alot!

I’d read the past catfish reports in the Fishing report section here, look back at recent post in the catfish forum, and if you can, I would consider hiring a guide like Brian Klawitter to help you.

The past catfish reports give enough detail to get you started, including the type of strutcure fished.

Thanks for the info that will help!
