bassmaster4 Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) In a week i am going up to Lake Minisinakwa in the Gogama area near Timmins. This lake has pike bass walleye burbot or ling or whatever its called and whitefish. I have caught whitefish but it was accidental and dont quite know the water depth or anything so i am wondering if anyone could give me tips on how to catch whitefish and ling i will be fishing from a boat and on shore. Whitefish to me sort of look like carp because the mouth is like a carp's mouth would be so i was thinking bottom fishing. Thanks in advance.

bbog Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 bassmaster4 my experience with Whitefish is jigging with small Williams Wablers (Gold and Silver nu-wrinkle finish) at Whitefish Shoal in Simcoe. I have heard from some that it is popular use a Rapala Jigging Shad Rap while anchored over known Whitefish locations. Can't vouch for this as I have not tried it myself. Good luck.

tonyb Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Nice pic Dan! lol I think those are Ling Cod though, as opposed to their freshwater pals the Burbot/Ling. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
