Easy walleye at Geneva

[mark1758]

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.

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

I run 2 Church Walleye boards in tandem on each side. The far board is out 100 feet. The inside board is out about 75-80 feet so they line up with the boat. As long as you run a straight course, even a white bass will pull the board back far enough that you can tell something isn't right so you can check that board for company. Yesterday a board dropped back about 4-5 feet and it turned out to be a 22 inch walleye.(table grade) You really have to pay attention. Hopefully I'll be out again tomorrow AM.

Only have one church board, thought would see if liked it before getting more, seems like have as much equipment now that I don't use as I have that I do use. Will give another go on calmer day to watch the board closer. Have you had any luck setting board up to release and run back to TT or Jet divers? Just wondering...thanks for quick response
