Ohio DNR has a list of public ramps on the ohio, in most cases there is bank fishing available around them.

The one I fish most is the the Cincinnati Public landing.

There is a ferry crossing maybe 8 miles from downtown. I have seen a lot of people bank fish there. Rt.50 west to River Rd.

That's not my section of the river either, sorry.

The ferry Catbird is talking about is Anderson ferry.I have fished there only caught Channels but was told that the KY side is better side to fish and you can fish both sides of river with Ohio license thats the agreement between Ohio and KY.There are a park people have told me about called Fernbank park in Salyerpark area of RT50/ river road that has Ohio river access.If you find a nice spot please post back always out to find new spots.

Tried that park but was chased out park ranger who wanted to give me a ticket for being in the park after dark.He didnt care if the fish bite better at night so I pack up my stuff headed home what a bummer.

Sorry to see you had a bad time. I was out on the river Thursday night and we didn't catch anything but gar again. The river needs to get some current going to help pick up the fishing.

Think when I go on vacation going to try below the markland dam Any advice for fishing there?Do have a plan b if fish dont bite beltera casino not too far away still eat good and have fun.

I usually fish down around 8mile rd, I beleive it is down off of 52. Father-in-law showed me that spot and we have had some good luck down there.

Here is a mapquest link. You park on the side of the road and we have a trail leading down to the area. It is wide open banks with room for about 10 people to fish.
