Easy walleye at Geneva

[mark1758]

thanks Dr Ed. We will be there friday with two boats, one a 16' aluminum and and a 25' home built cabin job. We'll be there for the week and maybe we can hookup with you and get some info. thanks again, Mark.

Be very careful with a 16' boat. Lake Erie can get angry in a hurry. Tune in the marine broadcast but take what they tell you with a grain of salt. I've been out there in 20 kt winds with 5-6 foot waves while they are saying 5-15 kt winds and waves 2 feet or less. That's the U.S. government in action. I'm
planning to launch from the Geneva ramp on Friday at 6:30 AM. My boat, the
Holly Lucas (Holly III) is a 201 ProLine WA with a blue stripe and blue bimini top flying the stars and stripes off the radio antenna. Ch. 68 to listen and talk.

We probably won't get there till 11:00 - noon. I'm very much used to Erie with this boat, but most of the time we will be on the big boat. The little one will be for perch mostly.

thinkin about comin 2 Geneva Sat. How did you do today? Any info would b greatly appreciated

[Dr.Ed]

Rough day for me today. 5 fish in five hours. 7-8 miles NW of Geneva. All on spoons off 50 TruTrips back 80' at 1.9 mph. All were nice 27 inch fish but with such a beautiful lake I should have had more in that time frame. I may hit the lake again Sunday as the forecast looks good. 6/22 update. I belong to a local fishing club and will be hitting the Geneva ramp tomorrow morning around 6:30 AM with two club members hopefully to show them how to catch walleye. Stay tuned....

2 Fish Ohio off watermelon and black and purple worm harnesses off "O" dipseys on a 2 setting back 135 feet at 1.9 mph 7 miles NW of Geneva. Six fish total which I didn't think was much but one of the club members was elated. A smile and a thank you is all I ever want when someone is on my boat. I got both.

What is easiest way to tell that you have fish on when using the "walleye" side planer board? Was out of Ashtabula this morning and drug a 29" for I have no idea how long. Ended up with 3 all caught on purple, purple/watermelon harnesses. You've helped me a lot with the info you have posted, hope to catch up with you sometime soon, Chuck
