Geneva Reports

[sherman51]

Sherman, the fact that you like good fishing reports is the very reason I am not posting. Example: 2 days ago I ran out 15 miles NE of Geneva (Yes, past the 04 line) and ran 6 lines for almost 5 hours without a walleye. If that's what you want to hear, I have a few more reports over the last 2 weeks......

that's not what I wanted to hear. we did our best about half way between Geneva and bula from the 01 line to the 04 line fishing the top 40' of water with our divers and 50' on our downriggers. we use lite bite slide divers set on 130 back on a 4.5 setting and caught fish as shallow as 60' back on a 1.5 setting and 75' back on a 3 setting. the numbers are different on the slide divers but I think the settings would be like a 3 2 and 1 setting on a dipsy. a lot of guys on the radio was running 100' and 120' leads on a 3 setting on dipsy's and was catching fish.

What baits and colors worked for you? We tried everything in the arsenal except the small stinger spoons.

I've been fishing out of Erie but last couple weeks the majority of mine have came off the RR 600s. I have only been running 2 of the 9 rods with lead core and those two rods have takes almost half the fish last 3 weeks. Typical purples and cheap sunglasses have been the the workhorses.

Taken a few off the smaller spoons and WH but just 2-4 each day.

we used worm harnesses to do most of the damage. dr death was our best harness its a redish center with purple sides and copper backed. our next best color was nuclear green with copper back. we ran 9' leaders and our best speed was 1.6 but was bouncing from 1.4 to 1.8
