Catching Whitefish in VERY deep water in the summer

[MuskieBait]

I've pondered that myself for many years. Similar pattern in Simcoe...although not quite as deep, but still the same challenge. People who downrigger for Lake Trout in Simcoe do pick up Whitefish here and there. But for the number of Whitefish at that depth, the number caught are extremely low.

I also ponder how I can target Bloater and Kiyi on Lake Superior when they are most abundant in water over 100m. Good grief...10in fish, diet of mysis shrimp, and 300+ feet of line down.
