White Fish ???

[Ride_Red]

I have a decent whitefish lake in my area, problem is I have never fished for them, I have no idea on baits, jigs, or what to use, the guys that get them are real quiet on tactics. Any suggestions?

We have caught nice ones that showed up suspended over deep holes while fishing for crappies.

Just watch your flasher and put it in front of their nose.

A small jig and crappie minnow worked great for us.

There is an older post on the ice fishing forum titled "tulibe help". It is on page 11 right now. Got alot of good info. When we fish for them, we use an old spoon with the treble hook removed, 8-10 inches of monafilament tied to the bottom with a smaller sunfish sized hook on the bottom of that. You can tip it with a minnow or a waxie but we have had better luck with a waxworm. The spoon above the hook acts as a flasher to bring a school in and when they are in the area, i like to use a smaller pimple or buckshot with waxies on them. A couple of good swivels on both sides of the spoon is a major plus to keep your line from getting too twisted up. good luck

Thats a really good idea! Are you doing that just for whitefish or tulibees too?

I have never fish specifically for either of them, just have caught them while walleye or crappie fishing.
