Ice fishing whites video

I thought this was a good video worth checking out:

No gobies here but that lure still might work...
This video also shows to give the bait a quick jerk up when they begin to turn away. You see that fin go up and you know you've got some attention back

I got the Aqua Vu mini this year. I think I'll try the 45 degree look up from a distance back at Gull this year. Hopefully get some good footage. Maybe do the same for whites at Pigeon. Cam from the bottom, flasher from the top...no escape!

Awesome video you made. Looks like lots of fun and will have to try that at pigeon this year. Never thought of using that type of setup for whites.

I wonder if whitefish here have the same diet they do in Ontario, I’ve read several articles about guys catching whitefish out there using all sorts of lures imitating minnows. Here I’ve seen very few people catch them on anything of size, mostly wire worms, very small jigs thumpers and wetaskawins.

I didn't make it. I just found it online. And, I've always wanted to fish Simcoe for whites....one day! But yes, that setup has me thinking for here as well. I prefer sight fishing and having the flasher and cam pointing up has me thinking. A lot of setup but hey, makes for a more interesting day. And some days, fishing whites, you need that extra entertainment or you just might go crazy!

My favorite is gold spoons. They love em! Plus, about 10x more interesting to fish than a wire worm. I go to wire worms out of necessity but not my preference if I have the choice.

Like your regular small gold Len Thompson or like a gold Russian hook sort of style?

More Williams wobbler with lots of flash. If it flutters when it falls, as in out of sight of the hole, you got a winner! I get a lot hits out of site of the hole when this happens or have them chasing it in. Try and do that with a wire worm

I used mostly minnow imitations in Pigeon and Lac St Anne. Small froze. Minnows on a small jig head bounced on silty bottom was deadly.
