If you are into crowds Honeoye may be for you

   The bite was slow today  with a lot of "lookers" but we scored about 20 huge gills (given to some inner city Rochester dudes that really appreciated them) but unfortunately the weekend brought with it the motorcycles and ATV's racing right next to where we were fishing and they spooked the heck out of the fish. Good luck with that if you are thinking about going tomorrow. Hopefully you are into "crowds" as well   Luckily I was in my "own world" . 

Four to five inches of good ice today at south end. Some fool was out north where it was open water a couple days ago.

Nice little tent city going on ther! I'm not going to venture 90 miles for that. Lordy!
Looks like fun in at least a couple ways though.

 am actually in that picture. Should have called. I did  see those guys just south of Trident along with a nice crack the north of them and open water just to the south of them. ?????

The weather looks horrible for the next two weeks of the forecast, so Honeoye might be the only place around close to Roch. to fish.

That will only make the crowds worse.

There was quit of few guys right off of Trident today we I left there

It is a good place but it is dangerous too as that bubbler that the marina uses generates a lot of undermining current that reaches out quite a ways under the ice into the lake and is largely unseen. A few years ago my son and I fell victim to it on the way in near shore in 3-4 ft of water.. There are also substantial gas pockets north and west of there that when covered with snow can be a problem as well.
