I spent the last week at a cabin on the Whitefish chain. Had some tough days with changing weather but got the fish patterned by the end of the week. Had 2 techniques that ended up working best. During the daytime and early evening tossing slip bobbers with leeches at the deep weed edges (14-18’) was the ticket. Finding points and saddles worked best. Fish seemed to prefer the pink color. Low light in late evening and early morning pulling a lindy rig/crawler was working best. Look for flats in 18-20’ of water here. Work slow and make several passes, mark your fish and come back over because they were finicky. Make sure to practice selective harvest. There is a good mixture of eating size fish and 25+” fish in the lake.

On a jig, I used a Strike King Baby Rage Menace Grub in the color Falcon Lake Craw. For my rod and reel side lf things, I used a Daiwa Tatula Elite Pitch/Flip with the ratio 7:1:1 with a 7'3 MH Favorite Balance Casting Rod, I was able to generate a lot of bites using this technique and had a finish of 28th out of 168 boats doing this! Hope this helps you all out!
