15 years of Catfishing the Ohio river from Troy Indiana all the way to Leavenworth,Indiana. I usually fish 3 days a week 8 to 12 hour days. one first place tourney win at a flathead tournament and another second place.i absolutely love fishing and always have. My best friend took me catfishing for the first time 15 years ago and ive been fully addicted ever since. I love catching fish but i also love taking people to catch fish. I have just as much fun finding the fish as I do catching them. Some days its a challenge but it is so rewarding to figure out where there at

Best Catfishing Charter on the Ohio River
8 Hour Trip on November 15, 2025 • 2 adults
From start to finish, Nick delivered the best fishing charter experience I’ve ever had. He was extremely responsive during the booking process, making himself available for any questions and ensuring everything was seamless. On the day of the trip, he was punctual and dedicated — fishing with us for the full 8 hours. Nick’s pontoon is perfect for a day on the water. It’s spacious enough for multiple adults to spread out comfortably, and it’s especially accommodating for older guests since you don’t have to climb up and down like on some deck boats. The gear he provided was top‑notch, more than capable of handling the big blue catfish the Ohio River is known for. But honestly, Nick’s skill goes beyond equipment — he could probably find fish blindfolded. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, he’s an excellent teacher who knows how to adapt his coaching style to each person. Our trip was nothing short of incredible: we pulled in 24 catfish, including several over 20 pounds — personal bests for us. Nick taught us how to walk baits on the Ohio, and for two hours straight we were hauling in beautiful blue cats. The value of this trip is unmatched. The pricing was already fair, but I’d pay more just for the knowledge and techniques Nick shared. If you want to get hooked on catfishing, book with Nick — you won’t regret it.

All species caught
6 Hour Trip on April 20, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Nick of Twin Eagles Catfish Charters put our group of 3 on a variety species of fish. We caught blues, flatheads, channels and stripers. We had a trifecta and Captain Nick was quick to help each of us net and remove hooks and get bait back in the water efficiently. Catching bait for our outing was interesting and exciting as well. I recommend Nick as a great Captain and would work with again Thanks for the memories!

Fun in the rain!!!
6 Hour Trip on April 18, 2026 • 2 adults
Came from Northern Michigan to fish the Ohio River and had a great time! We caught a great variety of fish! Falthead, Channel, Blue cats, Striper and a SkipJack! Nick was very knowledgeable, and despite the weather being uncooperative, he still made sure we had a fun time, and put us on fish!! Would definetly recommend him, and if we come to fish this river again, we'll for sure be using Nick as our Captain!
