Hi all,

I had a busy few days and finally got a chance to post my reports for Ashtabula. June 30_07 we did a half day morning trip and landed our 24 walleyes, 2 trout made it in the boat and lost a few. We fished 53-57 fow north of Ashtabula pulling jet 30's and 40's 200 feet back, wire out 375 feet with kabooms, walker divers 124mm off the back corners 55-85 on 1 setting, walker divers 107mm 2.5 setting out 140 feet.

July 1_07 we ended the day with 18 walleye in the box, lost 5 at the back of the boat. 5 trout in the box and lost 5. The lake was a little rough when we started out but after a few hours it decided to lay down some. Fished the same program as June 30.

July 3_07 had a tough time getting the bite going, plus I only had 2 guys onboard with me. 10 walleye in the box and 5 trout, lost one big trout or king. It hooked up and when it was making his run the lure got foul hooked in it's gill so we couldn't gain any line on him because we where pulling him sideways I couldn't clear everything fast enough to get turned, but tried to get back for the road kill, no luck. We fished a little deeper trying to find active fish 56-62 fow. I ran 3 wires 300 back and 3 walker divers off one side. Lead core 6 colors back with a 3 way pulled a couple eyes with a kaboom and a watermellon scorpion, each lure took a fish.

July 4_07 we fished same spot as June 30, the bite was going great on everything 124mm 55-85 back on 1, 107 mm back 140-165 on 2, 107 mm back 185-210 on 3. Wire out 300 feet, jets out 200 feet. Ended with 16 walleye and 2 trout. At around 1 p.m. the winds picked up to 20+ out of the west and it started getting very rough so we had to pack up and head in, by the time we pulled everything in the waves were up to 4-6' so it was a fun ride in..
