Hey RG,
Good idea. I'm sure we will get plenty of posts on it this year.
I see there are some guys out there on the south end this morning. I hope to join them tomorrow afternoon.
My ice fishing time is going to get cut short again this year. My doctor called me Christmas Eve and told me I have cancer in my right kidney and it has to come out. He wants to do it mid-late January. I asked if he had a portable surgical unit he could bring out to the ice tent, so I wouldn't miss the afternoon bite, but it doesn't look promising. The positive thing is I will probably have to stay home from work for a month or so. Let's hope the ice holds through February.
Good luck and Happy New Year.
Norm

Sorry to hear about your illness. Doctors and hospitals suck, I lost a good job to illness that went midiagnosed for years fortunatley surgery wasn't needed.Get well soon the ice is calling.
What I was wondering is there any lodging close to the lake? Since my friend and I aren't fishing the NAIFC tourney this year we wanted to do a weekend trip somewhere and Honeoye came to mind. Obviously we havent the slightest clue about the lake any info, lodging, tactics for walleye and perch and access would be greatly appreciated. We don't have machines so we will be walking. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. We were thinking a weekend in Feb.

Norman Schrader · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 07:01 AM »

Hey Irish Jigger,
Thanks for your support.
The only lodging close to the lake is a new bed and breakfast on County Rd 37. It is about 1/2 mile north of the Honeoye Bait and Tackle and about a mile north of the lake. It is called the Little Lakes Inn and Healing Center. I think they have a website so just Google them. Otherwise, the nearest motels are in Lakeville, Geneseo, or Canandaigua.
The access points to the lake are at Sandy Bottom Beach on the NW corner or te NYS boat ramp on the SE corner.
Good luck and Happy New Year.
Norm

Norm,
Thanks for the info, I wish you well. Cancer has touched my family quite a bit in the last few years its a scary and confusing time. Just remember you have family and friends to fall back on who are counting on you to get well. Thanks again and good luck.

Web cam is full of ice fisherman wahoo cant wait!!!!! Hope Trident is good

titeline22 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 02:04 PM »

Norm, good luck with the surgery. A former co-worker had a kidney removed and he was back at work 3 wks. later. As we all know everyone is different. Iam sure with such a positive attitude as yours we will see you drilling holes like a mad man before the ice is gone. if anything is needed just put up a post, and Iam sure one of us will be there to give you a hand.

FishinFoool · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 05:33 PM »

not sure if i will make it out or not, but i am hoping to get out there. i live near trident and would love to venture out if i see someone else out there. if you make it out, be sure to post and ill see what I can do. havent been out to check the ice in a day, but there was someone out ice skating in the middle of the lake this evening, so hopefully it's good.

GAMBELL · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 04, 2009, 10:31 PM »

Norm,

Good luck with your surgery. Hopefully you will be back out there soon.

FishinFoool · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 06, 2009, 07:39 AM »

was a bit disappointed when I was at Trident Monday,saw all the parking spots had boat trailers in them.

I guess they don't want to many ice fisherman there of something .looked like they did it on perpose.

JEBADIAH · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 06, 2009, 04:29 PM »

I cant say as I blame them,fished it last ice last year and there was a truck load of trash left there in the snow banks.I guess I could of cleaned it up and maybe I should have but the bottom line is Im not going to clean up after a bunch of grown men.

FishinFoool · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 06, 2009, 05:29 PM »

iTS THE SAME OLD STORY SOME RUIN IT FOR MANY! IT SUCKS I REALLY LIKE FISHING THERE

icerookie5212 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 07, 2009, 06:40 AM »

I'm not sure if that is the case steve....there were a bunch of people that had parked there yesterday to fish. Would be a good thing to check on.

can_of_worms · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 07, 2009, 09:22 AM »

I know the owner quite well, It would not surprise me at all if he is upset, if there was a mess left behind, as well he should be. I would sooner believe that he is in the middle of trying to figure out his boat storage plan for this year. He has purchased a huge building and has taken on many more storage contracts. Stop in and talk to him, Brian or Joe, they are both nice guy's

FishinFoool · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 07, 2009, 09:32 AM »

Thanks, I will talk to them . this was just my assumption that they had the trailers in the usual parking spots.

I might go there friday we will see.

can_of_worms · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 07, 2009, 09:35 AM »

It is looking pretty grim as of now. The rain is steady and heavy, temps holding at 35. The worst of it is they are calling for several inches of snow over the next night - day. Take care.

icerookie5212 · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 07, 2009, 09:42 AM »

lots of standing water, hopefully with the cold temps forcasted the next few days/nights, it will freeze whats on top. ice was good yesterday, 3-4" of solid black ice

Norman Schrader · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 12, 2009, 06:05 PM »

Is anyone going out Tuesday Morning? I hope to get out for a couple of hours. I will monitor channel 7.
Good luck.
Norm
