Catching Whitefish in VERY deep water in the summer
Hey,

While on vacation recently we were lucky enough to witness the MNRF pulling up their fish netting surveys in a Muskoka lake.

Water was 120 feet +- deep.

Amazingly their quite short gill net had many whitefish. Some were very good size.

I have seen the depth finder markings of "something" fishy at that level for years in the summer.

How exactly does one actually go about fishing that depth in the summer months - when wind and currents will move your boat about no matter how its anchored due to the draw. Its sure not like ice fishing.

Jigging lures wont work - you'll never get straight up and down.

I've tried minnows............ nada ... so far.

................ suggestions?

Cheers,

OldTimer

See you on the river.
