Still looking.......

Thendara was better than Tichenor for me, Les. Around 100' fow. North-south and south-north trolls both worked. Good luck!

Do you really think it'll draw Sk8man away from the perch? I heard the perch fishing is crazy good out there. Was that you that went by me down by Tichenor?

Went for probably my last trip of the year. Fished Tichenor and then across to Thendara with riggers. Finished 7 for 8. No real size but a good variety - 3 lakers, 3 bows, and a brown. Mostly FLT Bob Barker Special down at 65. Bows and brown came on the sliders. Fished from about 945am to 1245pm. I was solo so I kept pretty busy. Good thing the weather cooperated and winds were down! Beautiful day on the lake for November 4th. There was even Christmas music on the Canandaigua radio station. Very strange!

Any details on it? Price range? I'm looking at one down in PA, 1992 1700 with a 60 hp on it for $4900. A little bit high but it's got some stuff on it. How old is the one up here? I'd rather stay closer to home for sure. Would he be willing to sell now?

Looking for an older Key West 15' or 17' Center Console to use for fishing and runabout. I live in Canandaigua, but willing to travel to see. Please PM if you know of one that's for sale. Ted

Again, thanks for all the great input and comments and suggestions. Seems to be many varied opinions. We're always open to input so if you think of anything else just please keep posting. We'll try to look at all the input and come up with something that's fair and fun!!

Keep the comments/suggestions coming! Lots of great input. This could be a fun time for us all. You guys are the best!

Just need 100 entries to break even with MSRP. Need more entries to generate prize money. That sounds like a reasonable number if we time it right and don't run into a bunch of conflicts.

Hey Fellow Fishermen - we are toying with the idea of putting together a Lund boat raffle/fishing tournament for next year on Canandaigua Lake. Along with the usual payouts, your entry fee would get you entered into a raffle for a new Lund Tyee 186 GL with a 150 HP Mercury 4 stroke engine and trailer (MSRP ~ $50,000). Entry fee would be $500 per person. We are thinking a multi-species tournament. Winning a category gives you additional entries into the raffle. So it's basically a raffle for a boat as well as a fishing tournament and you can increase your chances by winning the tournament. We'd just like your thoughts on this to gauge interest. Is this a tournament/raffle that you'd be interested in? Should we cap the number of entrants? Is fee too high/low? When is the best time of year? Any input or suggestions? Great idea? Terrible idea?

Was out for a couple hours on Monday morning (before it got crazy out there). Spent most time around the pump house and a little north. Picked up a laker and a rainbow and finished with a pickerel. All on riggers down 65 with FLT spoons. Pickerel was on a slider, but I never went inside of 75 fow.
