Past weekend we fished the Lake Erie Walleye Trail out of Geneva. Fishing is fantastic right now with lots of big fish. We weighed 30.62lbs for our biggest 5 fish finishing just out of the money. Lots of 3-6lb fish are being caught right now and rhe action is non stop. We've been trolling wire line and crankbaits and dipsy diver with a mix of baits.

Three great trips this past weekend. Limiting with coolers full of big walleye. We have been seeing a few steelhead mixed in as well. We are running further off shore now 10-15 miles to ensure we are staying on the bigger fish.

Walleye fishing was great throughout July. We limited every trip with a great average size fish showing up. We are slowly having to go further off shore to stay on the bigger fish but once we get there the bites come nonstop. We are also starting to see a few steelhead showing up. We are trolling with dipsy divers and wireline and planar boards. Fishing will remain good through September.
