Yeah I saw those tohatsu motors right away, seem to be pretty decent. I'm going to take my time on this one for now. Sure would be nice to fish for perch late like this though. This coming summer I'm going to work out a system of launching my boat with no dock, I think I have everything I need right now. From my ice fishing days perch fishing was always great right at first ice, so it should be smoking hot out there! Haha next year I'll be all ready and erie will have ice covering it earliest in season in 100 years. My canvas cover is the original, and really looks bad and leaks even worse so I'm going to see what I can do about that this coming year as well.

Here is a link to ny's fisheries report for 2010 if anyone didn't get this, it's pretty interesting.
