Yes, it's that good right now! Fishing is incredible off of Geneva State Park on Lake Erie. Fishing has been good throughout the day. Most fish are ranging from 19-23 inches with some larger 24-28 inch fish each trip. We have primarily been trolling 8+ miles off shore targeting fish down 44-60ft in the water column. We have also been catching some fish casting using forward facing sonar when conditions allow.

Walleye fishing is amazing right now. Folks who have been fishing since the walleye boom started in the 1980's are saying its the best they've ever seen. I had two charters this past weekend with easy limits of nice sized walleye sending guys home with loads of good eating walleye fillets. We are fishing off shore 8-15 miles trolling targeting fish 45-60ft down using dipsy divers and wireline with crankbaits.
