Great outing Mike. Nice to see your crew got some fish. How do you work a Simcoe bug for whitefish?
Usually a very slow raise or gentle lifts. With the Simcoe bug being so light I generally avoid snap jigging so you can detect light bites. I don't typically use it any deeper than 50', takes too long to get down and can be harder to feel hits. Has to be tied direct, no snaps.
Nick is the master of the bug for whitefish though, he can probably provide a better explanation on the technique.
Thanks Mike When they are not picking up spreaders it may give me another option. Often they get attracted in and you can see them on the fishfinder but they wont bite. Thanks for the info.
No problem, it's the most finesse presentation for when the whitefish are being non-committal. Works for lake trout too!
