Geneva 6/16

Got out about 7:30am North to 45FOW. Marked a lot of fish. Started a west northwest troll to 55FOW halfway to cooling towers. Turned and headed East back past the marina. Only had 4 keepers and 20-25 shorts. Some white bass and one sheep. Tried every color of cranks, spoons , wormburners and a few harnesses. Didn’t matter. Couldn’t get through the shorts. Thought about taking a run out deep to try for big ones but wind started coming out of the northeast with white caps so we just called it a day around 1:30. My buddies have been catching limits out of Ashtabula with the shorts in the same depth with spoons off dipseys. Seems like that’s the place to go right now in close. A lot of boats were east of the marina. First trip of the year. Blazing heat this week should push them out deeper.

Thank you for the great report. The water temps were easily a month ahead out west this spring. I assume like you, and like what I saw last year....the bigger fish on average will be in a little.deeper water than the shorts? I was able to catch a lot bigger fish on average in like 70 -75 FOW than I. 50-60. Regardless, a great time and I look forward to getting out there again soon. Thanks again!
