Ya there was open holes in that area on Friday..... I launched from Herchimer today walked across to Rush bar and I had a nice eye to the hole and lost it. left after 2 hours and only that one hit and moved in closer and hammered jumbo perch for a good hour or two. as it got closer to dusk I moved out between snake and mass pt and had a good hit just before dusk and one 12.5" Jumbo. The ice was much more consistent but caution is always a good thing dont blame you for steering away from that area I know a guy went through that area this time of year last year......
