I like too use blood worms under a indicator (SJW)
the lake's out here are clear so sometimes you can sight fish them
if they are hunting as in lots of surface action .. I love seeing that !!
we were out this spring and got 12 in just over 1hr by anchoring
each lake will have those bays that the Whitefish are schooled
when you find them its fast and furious
patience is the key
