Rods and reels and bait are covered by the charter, Each adult will need a 1 Day Ohio or Ky fishing license available online. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Generally if you want to keep some Catfish, we allow fish under 8 lbs to be kept. We suggest bringing food/snacks and appropriate clothing hats sunglasses for the weather.
Some essentials to bring are bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is NOT allowed per Insurance.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Wild Cat Guide Service!

8 Hour Trip – Ohio River Catfish on August 9, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Mark is incredibly knowledgeable in both catfishing and the ins and outs of the Ohio river shipping lanes.

8 Hour Trip – Ohio River Catfish on June 7, 2025 • 3 adultsMark was a wonderful guide for my son's 15th birthday gift. Mark took the time to teach my son and his best friend how to caught Big Fish. And I also got to play in the excitement with my own fish. I recommend all you Father's and Mother's to take your son's or daughter's out on this Wild Cat adventure today It was a blessing from God to hang out with Mark! Catching Big Flathead Catfish is expressly cooler when they are around 30 lbs and 40 inches long so on my trip out with Mark thats what happened. It was turely a Beautiful experience I got with my boy and Mark as we made Fishing Great again with Wild Cat guide services!
Adam PraleikasRepeat angler•Missouri, US•Member since 20243 trips5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Morning on the Ohio River!
8 Hour Trip – Ohio River Catfish on July 12, 2025 • 2 adultsI booked a solo trip with Wild Cat Guide Service, and it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. Captain was professional, friendly, and clearly knows his stuff, he had me on fish within the first hour. Caught some solid Blue Cats and enjoyed every minute out on the Ohio River. Great setup, smooth operation, and an all-around enjoyable day on the water. If you're looking for a serious catfishing trip with someone who knows the river inside and out, this is it. Highly recommend.

8 Hour Trip – Ohio River Catfish on September 13, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 childWhat a wonderful day on the river. Captain Mark took myself, my wife and or our 8 year old son out for an 8 hour trip on the Ohio River. We netted some bait and were catching within an hour. We reeled the last one in right as we were heading back to the dock. Not only did we all catch fish (channel cats and blue cats), Mark was a great conversationalist and quite the tour guide. Even taking us up one of the inlets. Mark was very engaging and patient with our son. He was able to catch his first big blue. My wife was able to catch her first blue as well. Thanks, Captain Mark!
