Honeoye Lake with CNY Tim

[BigJohnnyIce]

Ice Conditions/Report for 12/24/05:

Went fishing today with CNY Tim at Honeoye. Tim was the first in the parking lot.

Well, it turned out to be a slow day at Honeoye. I caught around a dozen gills, and they were mostly all throw backs. A few were 8.5 inches, but most were 6 inchers or less. Started out before dark trying for some eyes and marked a few but no takers. This was on the south west side of the lake. Got a few gills there after the sun came up. Then moved over to the east side with Strikemasters and didn't due too much over there also. Slow day for everyone that we talked to.

The ice had some water on top due to the warm temps, but it was safe at a solid 6-7 inches.

It was nice to see Tim again....maybe next time we can get you one of those 11.5" gills that I know are in there.

By the way, the LX-5 worked great again, despite not doing catching too many. That unit if awesome, man!

Have a Merry Christmas!

Hey Timmy,

Send me an email at home..I don't have your home email anymore due to computer problems a while back. Got a pic I want to send you.

Johnny got home took a shower and just cracked open a beer. Yep twas a tough day for my first trip to Honeoye but even though the gills size wasn't there it was fun drilling and hole hopping. It wasn't for lack of effort anyhow. That 12" largemouth was my big fish of the day. It was nice meeting some of the guys you know from IS too, good guys..

JB's Lures Lil Bugger's size #10's are starting to grow on me. The twenty or so I caught was with the 3 dot Glow-Chartreuse-Green one.... They fish very heavy and leave a nice mark on the electronics with minimal gain.

The LX-5's performed as expected, flawlessly...It is indeed the finest performance flasher I ever fished with, it's technical advancements dominate the competition hand's down!

Sold another Cabela's VXR Flasher today it was easy when I told the guy it had everything the FL-18 had at $120 less, no brainer.

Thanks buddy and see ya Tuesday...

Timbo, missed you at work before you headed home. I am sure you are on the "marc" with the LX's. Wish the weather would cooperate better so I could get the new 3tc out. Spending too much time watching the demo . . .think I am getting a suntan from it though! Merry Chritmas to yah buddy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

[CNY Tim]

Merry Christmas to every one! Long beard when we left at noon there was very few fisherman left. A ton of guy's early and everyone pretty well left empty handed or with a few.

Frank - I am fishing somewhere local on Monday maybe Delta/Morraine and Tuesday I'm heading to Silver to fish with Big Johnny. That demo unit is a pretty neat feature on the new LX3TC and LX-5 but there's nothing like the real thing. You will get out soon though.

Got to do the return the present dance in the morning, but if I am lucky and the lines aren't too long, I'll give you a holler and find you on the ice. Now have to try out the 3tc with the new Legend light, Shimano 500 and 4lb red cajun with the forage minnow that came in my stocking!
