Default WHITE FISH ON Sylvan Lake

Fished a couple times over the last two weeks at Sylvan with a small hook and maggot combo with NO success!!. You can see the whitefish picking at something in the weeds on the bottom and totally ignoring the maggots?? I was thinking fresh water shrimp?? Bottom line I suck RRRRR any suggestions to help catch whitefish at Sylvan ??? Thanks in advance

Haha I know the frustration. We saw a ton of them on the cam but couldnt even get them to look at our hooks.

Stop using camera's for whites you will just make them spook even easier than they already do. Try a wireworm without the maggot i get more hookups this way. Keep trying different wireworms till you find whats working. Fish in 4-6Fow.
