We have been fishing out of Geneva for at least 15 years, anytime between mid-July and mid-August, and had to run out past 70' or deeper to catch fish in mid-summer. I had a good friend who chartered west until mid-July, then moved his boat to Geneva. Even fishing in Geneva earlier in the year is a good place to fish, but the fish are shallower and not schooled up like they are when they move to deeper water. We stopped using harnesses a few years ago and started using spoons with lite bite divers fished deep, then we ran our 2 riggers set 50 or 55 feet down. With harnesses, we were running 1'6 to 2'2 depending on the waves, but the spoons were better when they ran 2.7 to 3.2.
