Bula 18 and 19 still going strong


Had trips Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I got to fish with wallydog Mike and his wife tami. They were awesome Mike always reels in the big fish. I started way to far north on Saturday but trolled with the waves back down to where we got them two weeks ago and weeks before that. It wasnt fast and furious like it has been but it was a steady pick till we got are 4 tickets plus one and a steelie by Two. The thermal cline is gone and the fish are laying deeper in the water column. That was the biggest change for us was to go deeper. most fish were 55 to the bottom. Dipseys ruled the day boards didnt do much. Today had some great old timers and had a ball. Went 30 for 40 by 1 today. Boat traffic was nuts. Same deep program nice steady pick. Quality on saturday was awesome. Sunday was still good but caught like 3 or 4 that were 18 inches. Not going to elaborate on specifics even though Nicholas and I cant fish the OWF Championship this up coming weekend that had to be rescheduled from last weekend because of charters. Most of my buddies are fishing it and two are in the hunt for team of the year. I can say that things are changing a bit out there so dont get complacent and keep working at it if things arent happening. Tightlines. BD

Ashtabula August 2 and 3 wowzer

Fished Friday and Saturday with guide trips out of bula and all i can say is wow. The quality of fish in the area is out standing right now. Friday we had 8 fos and so many 5 to 7 lbs they needed a bigger cooler and saturday they needed to use there lunch cooler and plastic bags after filling up a 120 qt cooler. Friday we went 24 for 32 by 11 saturday little diiferent story 30 for 50 by 2The crew had a tough time getting used to reeling in fish with current and waves but they had a great last hour catching 6 fish ohios to redeem themselves . Im not going to go over programs and areas Nicholas and I have a championship this up coming weekend but i can say that not much has changed from previous reports the last two weeks. Pics to come on my page and fb. Good luck when you get out.BD

Geneva 7/6 and 7/7

Well we finally made it east Friday it took us a bit to find fish and come up with a consistent program but we pulled 5 tickets by 1:30 with 7 fish Ohio’s. Saturday fished with mike wallydog and crew. We started at the spot we ended on Friday and pulled a double right away and then nothing. We got a call out from got one and double j that they were inside 3 miles so we ran in and we had a quad immediately made to more passes with the waves had 6 rods go at once and also a triple at the end only needed one at that time and had 5 tickets by 11:45 with 3 fish Ohio’s one going 30 inches and 10.7 pounds. Im not going to go into detail because we have a tourney Saturday but fish are in small active pods so if you hit one try and stay on them the best you can. We were targeting fish in the 50 to 60 ft range. Speed at 1.7 and color didn’t matter so if you get your speed and depth right you should be golden. There ate active pods everywhere so don’t get complacent.
Thanks to Jeff Steve and Ryan and to mike and crews for the fishing this weekend Nicholas and I had a blast. BD
