LOTW Whitefish Bay

[downriverbob]

There are plenty of good sized walleye in Whitefish Bay, been going there, Sanctuary Resort for almost 25 years, have had my best luck trolling deep diving cranks. Neck down areas always seem to be the best in gin clear water.

Nice fish!

How deep are we talking about and what speeds? I've got the muskie trolling down, but I've mostly jigged and bottom bounced for eyes.

Nice fish, Bob!

I struggled majorly at whitefish bay for walleye. Fishing seemed substantially better past the smiley rock.

I would venture to say that one would troll faster in those clear water conditions. Don't give the fish time to follow, instead go off a reaction bite.

Have you vacationed in the area? Lots of beautiful places around there. I would prefer to be familiar with an area prior to purchasing any property.
Also keep in mind that clearer water can mean effective fishing Dawn and dusk.

There are fish there in Whitefish bay. It's just different habitat.

Its phenomenal smallmouth fishing. I've always done real well in the clear water for walleye (middle of the day) down by Last point, and Devils bay.

There are a few potentially good walleye spots down in the lower, southern part of Whitefish. Some of the reefs and sunken humps across from Last Point can be OK, sometimes. Alfred Inlet used to have a few spots which produced walleye, also. I haven't been in there for a number of years, low water pretty much cancels the potential there. I was told a few years ago that the inlet was being netted, I don't know if this is still the case.

I've fished Sabaskong, Miles Bay and points west for the last twenty years. I'd like to try Whitefish but the closed border makes that impossible right now. Looks like a beautiful area.
