Looking for advice on areas to walleye sailing out of Ashtabula

[pfk]

best fishing is between the N 42 05 TO N 42 12. W 81 00 TO W 80 53. be prepared to fish 40' to 55' deep trolling. wire and dipsies are doing the work and the fish have been snapping really good for a month now. just do some searching for Ashtabula and Geneva charters and look at the boards. they're running 20 miles plus one way and still doing double trips every day. the bites been crazy good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck.

The information that you all are giving me is excellent. I greatly appreciate the coordinates information. I will certainly look at the Central basin pages and will be gathering information from the marinas. I will share whatever I come up with. Thanks to all of our fellow fishermen and women. Lines tight and in the water. LOL

Well, after getting much needed advise from several folks on this forum, the wife and I went out to the N42.02 straight North out of Geneva and started trolling 2.5mph NNE towards the 42.06 line. We immediately started marking fish almost at the bottom. We struggled getting down to that 65-70' depth on Tuesday with 4oz weights and 225' of line. We caught a few and then had some trolling motor issues. Wrapped it up and went to the bait shop and bought 5 and 6 oz weights for Wednesday. Oh yea, that got us where we needed to be. In a short time on Wednesday, we hauled in some hogs. 5oz weights at 50' and then another 250-280' of line put us right where we needed to be. It was non stop for the wife and I. The wife struggled reeling in the big ones at those distances. We blew up one cheap bass pro reel. No more of those things for me. Had a hard stop at noon to head back to Cincinnati. I want to thank everyone for their advice. Especially DW72 for texting me and allowing me to tap into his fountain of knowledge.
