Lots of east wind last week while they were in close.  Could have flipped the lake and thermslly shocked them.  They don't handle that well.

The channel in Holland was full of them last week. Lots of holiday boat traffic...they get washed out to open water. Just a thought.

Same thing happened in south haven last week right after the kings left.

Might be starting to spawn and some are dieing off do to stress.
