Dara Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I guess all this talk about the whitefish, I better post some pictures. We weren't the first boat out there. Ended up being at least 20 boats out there. Our friendly neighborhood CO showed up and checked every license where was. we ended up with about 20 fish lost a couple of dandys hot lure for the day was a 3" long Sweedish pimple in gold with the bumps on it. When I cut my fish open they were eating 3" long smelts. Fun cranking these guys out of 85' of water. I'll be there for the next few weekends, then on to the walleyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutologist Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Looks like a good one for sure. That same lure has been real good for our group for lakers as well the last couple of years. Was there still icechunks floating around or were they done this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water was 1.2 degrees Watch for logs floating around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leecher Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Great looking whities Dara Great job Congratulations Those will surely taste good in the frying pan!!! Thanks for sharing Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeon Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Where can you buy that Lure? Of all the places to buy lures, last year the Zellers on Great Northern Ave. had them in their "fishing" section. Just happened to stumble across them when picking up a package from the Canada Post. If not, try Canadian Tire, but usually the pimples are sold as ice fishing gear. And if not there, try the trading post, then if all else fails, western auto. They are a pretty popular bait though, but that colour may not be the easiest to find.

doack Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Do you use these swedish pimples in summer time for whitefish? How do you fish them? Any help would be appreciated. Depths, techniques, we will be up in Chapleau area in August, and one of the lakes has whitefish, and it would be fun to give it a try. Any help would be appreciated.

You gotta drive right by this lake to get to Chapleau. Lay in on the bottom and jig it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
