Tulibee (cisco) tips and tricks?
Anyone on here have a system for targeting tulibee on Alberta lakes? I’ve watched videos online, but I’m wondering if anyone on here has experience with them.
Thanks |
Come to sask haha. Few lakes around me are absolutely full of em, can’t keep them off the hook and it gets annoying sometimes haha

I've seen them mostly 5 to 10ft under the ice over 25 ft. Never really targeted them because I always assumed they were wormy. Moose lake used to have big ones maybe still does. Kehiwin was full of them too.

Tulibee
We used to catch the odd one through the ice at Lesser Slave. If I remember right, we caught them mostly on blue jigging raps while walleye fishing.
|
I'd suggest the majority of people have caught them, and thought they were whites.

Marie lake (beside Cold lake) has some. caught some 5-6 years ago while targeting whitefish.

And I don't think tulibee is not much different from whitefish. Tulibee is way smaller than whitefish, most just weigh less than 0.5 pound. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Mouth is lower on tullibee,points down more

Tulibee
We caught a few at Slave one winter. We were staying in the cabins at Shaw’s Point. There happened to be a couple a hula hoops left there by some kids that we found under one of the bunks. After supper and at few happy pops, we had a pretty good game of lawn darts using frozen tulibee and the hoops. All was not lost though. We ended up taking the tulibee home and smoking them. They were very good eating done that way.

They have some in Crawling Valley. They are a white fish so you use the same techs. Most often in the 30 plus FOW but suspended in the 15 to 20 ft. range
Caught a few over the yrs but always thought they were whites. |
Slave does have them and they seem to like small spoons when jigged off bottom. We have always put them back as I have heard they are wormy? Never have cleaned one though.

We used to catch quite a few of what we thought were Tulibee in the Peace River. Thinking back (a long time) I believe they were Northern Pike Minnows (Squawfish).

Pulled a couple good picks.

If you ever get a chance to do a side by side fish fry ……… there's a HUGE difference in the quality of meat. The Tullibee is very soft and mushy compared to a white.
I'm not a fan of either to be honest. rather eat a cold water pike any day of the week. |

They are a major nuisance and a lot of fishermen feed them to the birds. There is also culls done by government. I used to get my kids, nieces, and nephews to catch them for trapping bait. I bet most don’t even know there is a record for them |

I told him about the record and he says he will weigh one in if his kids catch it and they are not far from home. He was shocked a record even existed and that it was not way bigger lol |

I had no idea that would constitute anything near a record size catch, or didn't even know they kept records for junk fish. There's quite a few lakes where a 5lber is not uncommon. Even the kids off the dock were catching some pretty huge pikeminnows probably 4-5 lbs all day long while we sat and watched them. |
