Personally and for all the reasons you mentioned...and mind you I don't have a big boat...but if I was to get one my biggest reason for getting a kicker would be your #3 reason the gas consumption and the other one you mentioned about the main motors idling for hours. A brand new kicker $2500.+-.... a brand new 115 four stroke...I cant imagine just my $ .02 Tom

Honeoye ice is all but gone Conesus was here for a couple days and gone I heard there are people fishing Loon lake but thats a hike from rochester I'm ready for spring!!! Tom

Dustin and I had a great time, thank you for making the effort All!! It was nice to meet everyone looking forward to getting together again. Tom

Alex, I think running a leadcore with a flasher/fly combo along with the leadcore would be a little to much for the walleye boards to pull. You could switch things up though run your stickbaits off the leadcore and try your flasher/flys off the riggers. I run a 10 color off of the inline offshore planers with either a spoon or a stick bait and they pull pretty hard, it works but they struggle. Don't forget cheaters, probably 1/2 the fish that I catch are on cheaters.Thats just an extra line attached to your main line with a rubber band or you can purchase the actual clip in Dicks or most fishing stores for that matter. Excuse me if you already knew about cheaters, just giving you some options. Good luck and don't forget to post some pics. Tom

Hey Bob If Dustin and I aren't there by 12pm, shake our tent will you

Hiya Zeke, nice to hear from you , that would be great, but I would certainly buy them from you. I'll try and give you a call in the near future to catch up . Take care, Tom

Joe, I know in the fingerlakes two off of each side run great but you might run into trouble on Lake O because of all the currents. Tom

Welcome aboard Alex....lots of great folks here! Tom

Switching my rigger rods this summer to the okuma blue diamond 7'6 rods and either Okuma cv 15d or cv20d reels. I cant wait. Tom

Dustin and I will be there..

I did both... Tom

1000ft of 30lb camo wire from Atomik and couple 100 ft of 50lb braid for backing fits nicely. First thing I did when I got on the lake was let all the wire out with a tripped dipsy on the other end and reeled it back in under tension fills the spool perfect. Tom

Have fun Steve and good luck make sure you guys post some pictures. Tom

Happy Birthday Jeff. Tom

Nice!

You bet Kurt sounds like a fun trip! My Bro said you guys had fun on Honeoye this weekend Tom

I just got off the phone with Verizon, after reading the above post it reminded me that my daughter was going on a school trip to Quebec. They told me that if you already have unlimited texting on your plan there is no charge for texting while in Canada along with texting back to someone in the US. Charges for data (internet) are $2.05 per megabite OUCH! He said that you can add international calling for $59.99 = 450 minutes and I asked if you could add it for just 7 days and he said yeah it would be prorated so 59.99 divided by 30 is $1.99 for 7 days it would be $14. you just have to remember to call and cancel the international calling as soon as you get back into the country or you will be charged the $59.99 for the month and in order to stay within the prorating you have to stay at or under 150 minutes. All these figures are for 7 days so if you guys are going just for the weekend it will be cheaper than $14. Just passing along the information...I would also suggest giving Verizon a quick call so that you can hear it from them.....wish I was going to Quinte! Have fun be safe and I cant wait to see the pictures. Tom

Have a great Birthday Mark! Tom

My son is 12 and I wonder every day where the time has gone! Sounds like an awesome choice and opportunity for memories to be made. I know your good with the camera Bill, looking forward to some happy faces and lots of fish pics this summer! Tom

Be careful all! I was thru there yesterday and on the south side of 100acre pond the Geese had about 3/4 of it still open thats the south side of where the culvert connects the two ponds, just a heads up. Tom

Happy Birthday Jason! Tom

Happy Birthday Tom, hope you have a good one! Tom

Drove by Conesus about 11:00 am today and probably 1/2 the lake flashed last night 8 degrees right now with a couple more calm days and some cold nights and a prayer...who knows! http://conesuscam.com/ Tom

http://www.atommiktrollingflies.com/ Another option would be a 10 color leadcore atommik has them all set up I believe, or a copper set up. Everytime i've fished Canandaigua wich is usually with "FLXtroutman" who is also a member of LOU the copper and or the lead core has been very productive. Tom

Making me hungary Tom
