I did a drive bye during my lunch break and it was pretty desolate out there.. Good luck Saturday.. I'll stick with the yellows for another weekend and hopefully they are in by next Wed. So I can fish them before I leave for vacation..

Good luck. Im out of town if I wasnt I would be looking for them too.
They were all in they're usual places all summer with big numbers, not like they disappeared.
I got a 1/2 bucket last weekend on magog picking up a few here and there while fishing for yellows.
Everytime they came in the pike were right behind them.

Fished all morning off of Hathaway at the Green Can. Nuthin' but DINK perch....bored out of our minds....we need a melt to bring in some oxygen and feed....That said, bring lots of beer 'cause you're the only thing you're gonna catch is a good buzz!

That's to bad! Maybe they'll get a year off from the ice fishing pressure! There's still a lot of fishing left though! Still time

They have been at Hathaways for the last 3 days. Guys filled jet sleds yesterday and I went today for 2 hours and filled a pale and half. Caught 14 that were over 14" which was great! We were on them for about an hour heavy and then they moved never to be found again. However, the wind held every person fishing there in one place. It was brutal and had to leave by 930 before my flip over blew away.

I got just under a dozen, 2 of them 13”, but the wind was brutal, if your sled wasn’t tethered it was gone!
Couldn’t hole hop very much at all.
