Geneva 6/16

[Thatguy]

Went out of Ashtabula Sunday got there around 5:30 pm shot out to 73 fow trolled west caught 6 keepers on the first pass with all the fish being over 20” turned around and went back through the school and picked up 3 more. Bloody nose worm harness was a killer yesterday couldn’t keep the pole in the water. Dipseys #3 setting 160 back #0 setting 120 back was a hot combination. It slowed down a little but we picked them off one by one to get our 18 and was done by 8:45pm. Good luck and tight lines

Anyone got intel to share about Geneva?

Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing! Great to know that there are fish to be had at a wide range of depths. Specifically though, that the bigger grade of fish are deep already. Not surprised as water temps were a month ahead of normal out west.

Many like the eaters better and that is cool and understandable. With only going a few trips a year for me.......I'll e
Take the big ones and be happier with the much larger bags of fillets. 😋

Nicely done getting 3 limits in only a few hours. Sounds like the fishing is great with some sorting. Hope that we can do the same and getting 12 per boat will only take a few hours.

Am excited as are my guests. Thank you again to all who post and share 🙂

Continued safe fishing and tight lines!

Bringing my boys (7,9) and nephew up to launch @ the Geneva Marina this Friday and Saturday. Anyone got intel on direction and FOW? Worm-burners? Colors on spoons doing good this week?

72' to 76' of water seems to be best straight North out of the harbor. concentrate on the 50' deep fish they have been the most active. spoons in blues, greens with silver backs have been working best for us. with shallow running cranks off the dipseys also. don't use worms so can't comment on them. there will be plenty of boats out there to use as reference. angle east if you need to stray E or W. tight lines................

I'm not getting to fish this year. but this time of year I recommend starting around 74' of water and fishing deep. if the wind allows try trolling north 1st. we just run straight north out of the harbor. we use large spoons with lite bite slide divers but just use a 7' leader. our absolute best spoon has been the Dreamweaver dw purple alewife spoon. but we use a lot of spoons with purple but catch many fish on other colors. we run 2 downriggers set at 50' and 55' and the bandit sunspot has been the best crank on our riggers. 2.7 to 3.0 has worked great running spoons. purple is always a good color add a little black and it's FISH ON.

PFK is right. Same depth is good all the way past Ashtabula. We also picked up a lot of fish deeper in the water column at 60-70 down. I don't use worms either but if you put them at the right depth you'll get them. Good luck!
