Ashtabula 7/3 & 7/4

[schapman126]

Based on dipsey chart and the graph, we were targeting fish 45 to 50 feet deep. On our way to the lake now and will post results later. Good luck!

Not as productive today as Saturday. Ran the same program but too many shorts was the theme for today. That’s why they call it fishing. Ended up with 7 nice walleyes and 2 steelhead.

started at 58' fished to 65' today and had our fish. same program with dipseys and tru trips 40's. some shorts but mostly 18 to 23 inchers. all on spoons. small and medium. Norhtwest out of Ashtabula. speed was 2.5 mostly.

Fished yesterday 2 pm to dark. Started in 58 fow north edge of dump. Almost no boats and a fairly empty LSP so most must have limited of left by noon. Fished out to and all around 70 feet. Struggled with tangles on tru trips. Caught 6-8 very small fish out there. Ended up with 4 keepers.... all in under 60 fow. Caught a couple on bandits but spinners and spoons were better just small fish. lost one nice one on a spinner. Dad's tired or I'd be on the water now. Idk what I'm going to do today. Probably go west a little more and stay shallower than 65 fow. Will get more worms and run more spoons. Maybe slow down a little or cast worms if I can find fish. I never marked much at all just scattered fish. Speed 2.25-2.5.

Thanks again for sharing Gents. Tight lines

Had to work all day but scratched out a limit on 7/4. Not my strongsuit with jet divers. Got some on spinners and spoons. Some on bandits. Many fish out deep in 70 feet but too far down for me to catch. All my fish were 45-63 FOW. Speed 2.25-2.5. targeted fish 15-35 feet down. Chromes and gold for colors. Holographic perch was a great spinner. Quite a few shorts again.

Thank you Sir. Can you hit that deep with Trip-Z 40 dvers? I saw conflicting dive charts. Have you fished and do you think I should buy a couple Trip-Z 50's?

i know i can get to 45' with spoons on the tru-trips 40 with 160' of braid in the water. i'm all dipseys and weighted lines on the in-line boards now when the fish get to 50 ft plus depths.

can't answer that about the 50's. never used them.
