we went up to honeoye to try for some big gills july 6th.
after trying a bunch of different spots,we found some very nice size gills(9 to 11") a a few nice 10" crappies out in 13 to 17 fow between the point and the marina on the n-e end of the lake on the deep weed edges and just outside - got most on worms fished a few ft off the bottom,caught the crappies on red glitter tube jigs 7ft down under a float at sunset.the best fishing was from 8pm til it got dark. most other guys were fishing a bit shallower but we found the big gills & crappie outside the weed edges at 17'-- we found these fish ourselves and probably won't be out there again til next year so i don't mind giving up the information
if your out for the jumbo gills keep an eye on your rods--had a 10.5 incher yank my rod into the lake had to dive in for it
