Any luck or not ? Out of Geneva,Ashtabula,Conneaut or Walnut ?
Thanks in advance for your report.
15 to 20 miles out of Geneva Dipseys and copper back stinger spoons or if you have wire the crank baits are working from what I hear on he radio 350' back. We ran the Dipseys 160' 170' & 180' Thursday, Friday, & Sunday and didn't do too bad. Had to pick through the bass though.
Also heard of some people doing good in 50 to 60' but having to pick through the 6"ers
Hunt ,Thanks for the reply.
What size Dipseys are you running ?
I will be going out of Walnut Friday and probably Saturday, will post results. Channel 68 if anyone wants to share info.

I fished Saturday, Sunday and Monday Eyetroller, Did 14 eyes and a steelhead Saturday, 18 eyes Sunday and 16 eyes Monday. I fished mainly between Ashtabula and Geneva. On Monday I went back to the same area that I had been fishing and noticed that it was loaded with junk fish. I also noticed that the temp at the ball was only about 4 degrees different from the top. Noticing this I decided to point the bow north and the fishing started to get better and less junk fish. I did have to do alot of sorting monday due to barely legal fish and also 7-8 inchers. Capt.

Thanks for the report Capt Jeff.
What depth of water were you fishing ?
We fished out of Conneaut yesterday (Wednesday). Lake was nice so I ran out to the 42.11N -80.34W trolled north to the 42.15N-80.35W some marks scattered but no takers "0".
Wanted to see if we were missing anything out there. Guess not ?
Pulled the lines and moved in to the 42.06N-80.32W more consistent marks trolled south west picked up one 17" and a few of the 14-15" walleye.
Had a Steelhead hooked lost it because the snap swivel opened up.
Guess we should have went west ? Maybe this weekend we will give it a try out of Geneva.
Thanks to ALL for the reports.

As for the Walleye, 2 were short and released (about 13.5") 1 was lost at the boat and 2 boxed. The 2 we brought home were about 26".
I didn't see the Perch clouds on the sonar as much today, hooks weren't very plentiful either. Best setup for eye's was crawler harness on high dipsy set on 3setting out 100' to 125'.
Chatter on the radio, someone was north of marina in 76 fow and had boxed 9.
Thanks for the report Skinny.
I guess we are going to have to work for them this year ?
Sorry for the delayed response Eyetroller. The depths out of Ashtabula are pretty consistent after you get past the 01-02 line at around 72-74 ft. I was unable to fish last Saturday and cancelled my trip. I fished Sunday the 7th. The trip started off bad for me when I hit a submerged log about 1/4 mile from the light house which caused prop and rudder damage to my boat. Due to the strong north wind in the morning I decided to run out to the 12 line and fish back in. I had a very humbling day of fishing only managing to catch a handful of fish. Looking back on this day I should have set up shorter and fished down into the 00-59 line. I noticed that the strong north winds must have lowered the water temp in tight because out at the 12 line there was only about a 4 degree water temp difference from the surface to my ball down at around 52-55 ft. In closer there was approx. 10-15 degree temperature difference. I had a lot of good marks out north but few takers and of course lots of junk fish.
