Summertime Whitefish

[lhousesoccer]

So - it seems to be from all the whitefish posts here over the years that the bulk of the fishing takes place mid-winter to last-ice, and then early spring. Does anyone target them in the middle of the summer? Or even late fall? I have a lake that has whitefish. It's a big lake, lots of deep water (up to 400-feet), lots of shoals, ledges, humps, deep flats. I'd like to try and find some of these tasty critters, but would like to try and narrow the search down a bit. Where do they go in the summer? Keep in mind, this is also a lake where even winter and early spring whitefish fishing isn't part of the tradition, so there aren't any well established whitefish grounds from which to start searching. I also assume the same baits in the winter and spring would apply in the summer?

They catch them in my area all year long.Still have to fish the deep areas. What ever you use you have to get to the bottom.

Vertical jig them just like you would in the winter through the ice.
