Default Lake Whitefish triggering the attack tips

When we are fishing Lake Whitefish
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q...7B&FORM=VRDGAR

we are all ways looking for ways to trigger the attack

you anglers with camera's have seen the moment when its triggered

then the attack

its like you see them go FOOD !!!

here they come with a few quick wags of their tail

when Lake Whitefish are hunting it can be Awesome !!! (pic)

putting 7 fish on the ice that are over 4# in 3/4 hour(Talbot yrs ago)

sometimes its like 3 or more Whitefish slashing at your hook at the same time

triggering the attack is just a tip

as all ways this is

Food for thought

David
fow = 2 to 6
hook = double wire worm brass or other (Ultimate Fly in Edmonton by Norm)
hook care = open face some times n bend your eye up a bit n sharpen
knot = improved chinch knot
line = fluorocarbon any pound ..I use 8# Vanish
tent = 1 person box tent
auger = old jiffy one pull

Thanks for this info. Question though. Your link takes me to a video of shrimp in an aquarium?!? Is that right?

Any chance you could post a pic of the double wire worm? Having trouble googling.

When I set up for whites I use a small weighted spoon (like a kastmaster) at the bottom, then attach two more hooks on the line up from the spoon with drop shot knots, maybe about 6 and 12 inches up the line. Do you set up this way or just use a single wireworm without any weight?

My rig would look like this: http://ultimatefishingsite.net/wp-co...ropshotrig.jpg except the weight is a small solid spoon and the hooks are wire worms.

What the video shows is the movement to trigger the Attack

even the fish moves through the tank in jerky movements

but the shrimp and bottom movement of piece of food etc in water

I use a single double wire worm brass or other color no bait

I have a camera and can see every thing swimming even backswimmers

here are my whitefish hooks there are 4 double's in there

the brass is a DR Special
