Whitefish were out on deep contour breaks. We were fishing a contour that went from about 40-80 feet pretty quickly. Gold and flashier colors seem to do well on the bay. Bottom pounding baits was also key. Slider rigs tipped with wax worms seemed to outfish normal spoons and jigging raps.

Find breaks leading to deep water. Capitalize on the low light windows. Figure out the mood of the fish for how aggressive you want to work your baits. I start shallower and move deeper until I start seeing fish
