Honeoye Lake today (1-7-13)

[Sk8man]

My son and I fished the south end of Honeoye today from 8:30 AM - 3 PM. The long and short of it reads like a baseball game report...

NO strikes, no runs, no errors, all fish left on base :>) I talked with a bunch of guys and the results were about the same...VERY SLOW and mostly "dinks" (both gills, sunnys and perch). We had 10 tip-ups out and a variety of baits on them set at various depths. We each jigged the entire time. I had left home in a hurry and forgot my Vexilar..which really sucked... but my kid had his and marked many fish both suspended and bottom oriented and they would come right to the jig but not hit (20 some jig and bait changes). The other guys I talked with said the same...the fish were basically "turrned off" today. We had 4 inches of good hard ice. There were guys fishing way north east of us and it is unclear how much ice is there but they all had huts etc. Hopefully the ice will endure the upcoming warmer weather and that the fishing will pick up.
