Barcelona 8/2

[DW72]

Hey Verno. I haven't done the smallies in a few years but you're certainly right that it is a lot of fun. I believe that fishing is still very good in many areas of NY. We used to do the same thing out of Sodus Point. Find the boulders and lots of fish to jig up...pretty much all day long.

If you're fishing Geneva you probably already know that it is on fire there. Many good guys are smashing 2-3 man limits in 2-3 hours. Everything is catching fish...cranks, spoons, harnesses, etc. The Ohio Parks are much bigger than Barcelona for parking and Ashtabula is only about 45 mins farther for me than Barcelona. Love that Geneva/Ashtabula area.

Enjoy and thanks for sharing.

We fished out of North East Marina on Saturday, 8/9. We got a 5 man limit using dispeys. The fish bit on everything, mostly spoons, but we also sent out crawler harnesses, and East End Angler spinners with Gulp minnows. We could only put 4 rods in the water. Fish were biting too quickly. We fished 80' to 120' FOW. The walleyes were down 50' to 70' deep. Fish lengths varied from 17" to 25". Kept all walleye we dragged up from that depth, as the barotrauma will get them even if they swim off after release. We even sent a downrigger down to 100' and caught a couple lake trout.
