WOW! Nice catch of whitefish! Congratulations! Would you be willing to share all the details where you caught them, time of day, the date, the bait used and setup to catch them? I've never fish for whitetail on the southern end of lake Michigan but I love to eat them. Whitefish is one of my most favorite fish to eat!

I think there’s more around than people realize. I’ve caught them at EC, Gary, Portage, MC, and St Joe. I caught a handful of them incidentally over the years, but it took a couple of years to dial them in to consistently get into them. Simple bottom rig with a sliding sinker is all you need. I check the stomachs on a lot of them retrieving swallowed hooks. Eggs are the most consistent bait for me, but Waxies and crawlers have their days. I’ve caught a couple on artificial sand cleaned a couple with gobies in them. They’ve got pretty small mouths though. I’ve caught them at night but usually fish during the day. I’ve caught them as early as the second week of October right up til the end of April.
