hey troutfishingbear are those are rocky mountain whitefish your getting right.germ is talking about lake whitefish.
I guess it all depends where you are fishing in North America.In central Alberta the lure of choice is the wireworm.This is basically a plain "J" hook wrapped with various colored wire.You fish this in a horizontal position 1-6 inches off the bottom in fairly shallow water.(4-15 ft of water) In central Canada you use a baited lure in much deeper water. So without more info on where abouts you live there are only very general things that can be said. Good Fishing&Tight Lines
whitefish are also called sheepshead right i think i used to cacth them on lake champlain in the summer are the edibal?
I live in New Brunswick, Canada and our tactics are totally different to what you guys use. I chum roughly a week before I fish with Barely, Rice small pieces of fish and macaroni. Unfortunately our Lake here is roughly 27-35 feet deep with a muddy bottom for the majority of it Water is very stained. We fish whitefish directly on bottom no jiggin' we play the waiting game!!! I use size 12 to 16 hooks tips with a single egg or pikerel eggs or a small piece of nuts Sucker meat. We have a tournament comin up in 2 weeks, and last year i was fortunate enough to win second place whitefish with a fish weighing 946 grams. I got this one about a foot off bottom jiggin for Smelt. I registered one thr weekend before that weighing 942 grams. I got beat the 2nd weekend by my buddy he nailed a monster for our lake 1225 grams.
