Skipped work to go fishing
Decided to take advantage of the last day of the season and tried my luck at Pigeon Lake. Saw nothing from sunrise - 9 AM, then between 9:00 - 9:20 landed 3 massive whites, biggest was 7.5lbs. Hole hopped a bit after that and saw 2 more whitefish under the hole but they weren't feeding anymore. Caught and released a small walleye.
Packed up at 11:30AM and went to work.
Cheers

i did limit out one day could of other days but quit after 4-5 hours just short of limit .
the big ones fight like freight trains and easy to get spooled on the big ones.

Very nice. Those three whitefish would cost you a hundred bucks at Safeway.

Yup. They're always in the float bladder. I've never seen worms in the meat ever.

I only know how to fish for them in very shallow water sight fishing.
I was the only one jumping around in 4 -6 FOW but everyone one was fishing them in the middle of the lake deep. I walked over and check out a few holes and there doesn't seem to any special structure. One guy was fishing in like 25 FOW with a wireworm on a stationary jaw Jacker. He didnt catch any though.
