Nice video. I was there yesterday and did the same. I launched at the state park for the first time. You would think the state could afford some sort of plastic/ rubber rub rail along the dock. The wood is old and in bad need of repair. We came in at the edge of a thunderstorm and the wind blew us up along the dock but I had my fenders out and didn’t break anything. The parking isn’t good either. You park on the other side of the road up a hill. Thankfully, they had 4 handicapped parking spots open right there otherwise I would have driven to union springs or the mud locks. Yes, sandwick, you can catch perch all summer long right on the shore up tight but not so much In Cayuga as the other fingers.

Just be aware and take it slow out into the lake. A friend lost his prop yesterday heading out through the channel when he hit something. I have a 16’ boat and was ok but if you get a south wind like yesterday morning, you might bounce up and down enough that the engine will hit. The lake itself is crystal clear and lower than most years. It’s so clear that I even found the remains of a very old boat on the bottom in 14’ mid lake north end. That was cool.

I had a fair day yesterday out to Shackleton from the south shore boat launch. There were some slush pockets that I had to power through though. I bet they will be worse today and tomorrow but should be good again after the freeze up on Tuesday. One thing that worked for me on the perch was to pound the bottom with a #5 jigging rap and once they showed up , I dropped a black tungsten down with waxies. They pounded that immediately. And all these years I have been doing the jigging rap and minnow head thing. I’ll keep using the jigging rap morning and late afternoon for eyes but going to the tungsten for perch the middle of the day.

I drove around the south shore launch about three weeks ago after an unsuccessful trip to Lewis Point. Looked like a nice area to park and fish out of. Seems like not as many people go there or was it because I was there on a Monday. I intend to try out of there this week someday, weather permitting.

12”on Honeoye! That’s going to be tough considering I fish there a lot both ice and open water and rarely catch a Crappie over 12”. How about stopping the weed cutting first and then see what happens to the panfish population. No new perch regs.? This was not thought out well..

I hate to give my friend gator any credit, but he has built dozens of ice rods ( along with open water rods) and has a lot of experience with the subtleties of ice blanks. I also build ice rods and have some experience with various blanks. We both use mostly our own builds when fishing but I do have a few tickle sticks and HT’s. I do like the UL tickle stick for perch but not so much for gills or crappies. It does not handle the small tungsten as well as an UL HT with a tungsten spring bobber. ( my preferred gill rod). For crappies, I really have not found any rod out there that I like. But that’s just me.
