Greg, awesome job on the fish, wish I could have been there (thought about you guys all weekend). Looks like you did better than .500 this trip. I'll bet there was no 12 lb fluorocarbon on the boat. I'll also bet you didn't cut the line on anyone's fish and make them hand line it in (I just like things to be a little more challenging, lol). We'll have to figure out when we can go again. How long does the bite over there continue into the fall? If it's still going to be good, look at your calendar for the weekend of August 30. We're heading to Montana for some fly fishing on the 9th, so I won't be able to go until I get back.

Here's a couple of questions:

Did you try a J plug (the king)?
Still fishing the top 20 FOW?
Same place where we caught fish?
No walleye this trip?

I took the family fishing out of Geneva State Park on Saturday (7/26), what a great marina. Still trying to learn new areas. Had to work on Saturday morning (it figures, morning bite was hot and seas relatively calm) so we didn't get out until around 2pm. Made a 12 mile run out NE to 70+ FOW. Lines down around 3pm, seas 3-5 building to 4 to 6 footers. Wife's sunbathing on the bow (not a good idea with 4 to 6 foot waves) she's sea sick by 3:15. But I have to give her credit, she's a trooper and stuck it out to let us fish until 6pm. Ended up with the kids realing in 11 nice fish and losing 4 others. Not a bad 3 hours in a new area with bouncy conditions. Man are the fish on this side of the lake deeeeeep. Only 3 fish off of the riggers down 65' (Pooh Bear Purple and Blue Dolphin Stingers). All 8 of the other fish came on the dipsies (with rings) (all on Watermellon Stingers), set #3 205-210 back, #4 225-230 back.

All in all pretty good outing (except for the wife's stomach). All the fish were good quality with the kids catching three really nice hawgs 25", 26", 27".

Check your calendar for aother trip to Wheatley. I also just got a PM from John (True Blue) maybe we could get together with him some time as well.
