After people saw us land 15 Whitefish in our last video we have been receiving steady messages asking HOW!? The common theme was people see whitefish, they drop and the whitefish leaves. This video covers how to make the Whitefish BITE!!! This is PART 2 in a series of ADVANCED Whitefish Tactics. This video covers Scent and High Hooks.

where do you buy the redolence scent?? im looking for a replacement for da sauce. a lot of times i can't really tell if its working or not... but the spray caught my attention. seems way more convenient to apply.
i liked how it got all those minnows to get triggered lol
This is great, let the search for the scent begin :) 😁
REDOLENCE is my go to, but I am partial because we developed it. If not Redolence I would be going with a PRO CURE or MIKES.
@@FoxFishing4K thanks, which flavor is preferred?
@@tarantula999 Redolence works for all species and is not specific. Pro cure or mikes I would use herring or smelt
I am a big whitefish fisherman. And I 100% agree with you, esp on smell.
Oh yah they have incredible smell!
I'm out the door in 20 minutes to hit Simcoe.
Appreciate the information, in both parts, and taking the tips to the ice today.
Awesome! I'm having a late start. Will be hitting Simcke around 10am
@FOX FISHING 4K I was there well before you but I'm going to bet you did better than me.😉
@DH B it was a tough day. Fished from 10-2 and got 6 whitefish. No Burbs or lakers. Going back Sunday but going early!
@FOX FISHING 4K The couple I was fishing next to went 1/3 on whities. My nephew and I marked them but couldn't get a bite. Did manage some perch onto the ice, and still have a serving of burbot from Wednesday.
The whities were active up until noon yesterday but most prevalent from 830-10am: so getting out there early today is a good idea. Don't forget ice anchors.
What knot do you like to use for your top hook?
I use a polamar hook. You basically just making a drop shot.
I know a OPP Officer in the Simcoe area.
That's cool!
Where can we buy the Redolence? Thanks!
Gbay Tackle in Midland Ontario
Hi, would size 6 mustad wide gap octopus beak hook 'red' work because it's wider ? Why do they like size 10 -12 hook? I know it's just 2 size bigger at size 10 from 6 but is it gonna make a big difference, and can you explain why?
The size 6 would work as well. We are constantly trying to go more finesse. Next year, I may even be running 4lb test for these fish. Is it needed NOPE, but I do believe it helps with the number of fish landed.
@@FoxFishing4K hi sir thank you very much for the reply. Cheers
Hey Kevin, I am constantly snapping my bottom jig off when I land fish on the high hook. When I pull the fish out of the hole, the bottom jig snags on the bottom (underside) of the ice hole. I only use 8lb so when it snags, I end up snapping the line! I've only caught about 7 fish on the high hook, and I have snapped off 3 jigs! How are you avoiding not getting the bottom jig snagging on the bottom of the ice hole??
Keep a shorter distance between high hook and bottom jig. If you measure the ice thickness and keep the space less than ice thickness, the bottom jig will enter the hole and stay there. If there is too much space, your jig is below the ice, and as the whitefish moves its head, you're almost guaranteed to hook thst ice.
Can you make a video on how to tie that top hook. Thanx!!
Sure!
Actually go watch the DROP SHOT video on my channel it shows how to tie it.
How far to you run the high hook from the meegs
Personally, I don't run a meegs anymore due to losing too many fish from broken hooks. But the distance from jig to high hook would be relative to how active the fish are. If very active, I would do 2 feet or more. The more shut down the fish are the lower I go. I don't go below about 12"
@@FoxFishing4Kwhat jigs would you recommend using instead of Meegs?
Can you use a maggot for scent and can the top hook have maggots
Hi, was looking for this scent Redolence and it seems to be unavailable at Gbay tackle. Would you please advise where I can buy it? Thanks
