Thanks for the report. I love whitefish and catch them occasionally in that area. Anyone have any tips or ideas on how to target them? I'm thinking smaller hooks with squid strips and maybe higher in the water column might increase my odds.

I caught them while trolling for WSB using live squids.

Yeah, trolling seemed to work well with squid and with hoochies and a dodger too.  I'm not sure exactly what they like but will be trying to dial it in this year  :smt003.   Maybe a 4" Gulp curly tail will slay  :smt003
