@REZ138 Musts be nice not to have to travel far to have excellent fishing all year round!!...God bless you, Italo

Can you please tell me the EXACT NAME of the lure because its looks like it will catch fish and i would like to buy one. Send me a meassage when you have a chance. THANKS

[ItaloLabignan]

@thebrandonzu I can. It's the Blue Fox Lil'Foxee Jigging Minnow (rapala.ca/products/bluefox/lf­jm.php). They are only available from Canada. If you email info@rapala.ca , they can tell you where you can order them from....God bless you, Italo

What size Lil Foxee Jigs were you using? I just got 6 of the 9/16 oz ones and they look like they might be the same size. I got them to try and get walleye and white fish. I had to order them from a place in Canada, because they are not available here in the states. Now if we could only get some good ice out on the Saginaw Bay so I can try them out. This winter has been way too warm.

[ItaloLabignan]

@RagnarrBjorn The 9/16 oz. will be ideal. Just remember to "shake" them on the bottom and not to over-jig them. I find that "shaking" action catches more fish. We have the same dilemma in Ontario. I just shot an ice-pike show yesterday and now we have rain and mild temperatures. Maybe we will get winter in Feb./March!...God bless you, Italo

@nocountryjon Thank you for your kind words. When I'm fishing Lake Simcoe where most of the larger whitefish feed on 4-5" smelt, I prefer to use the Foxee' Minnow. If your whitefish are feeding on larger baitfish, it should also work well there...God bless you, Italo

@ItaloLabignan great video! i live in Alberta watch you constantly...do you prefer the blue fox to a wireworm? If so i have to change my strategy as i am going to try and get Jumbo whites next weekend.

@Blistered666 You can use just a hook & minnow on the bottom, or you can jig using a variety of flashy spoons and jigs. The most popular spoon to use for them is the Williams Whitefish. These spoons are equipped with a treble hook and also two side-hooks. The key is to jig them slow and allow them to settle on the bottom before you jig them again. I have had excellent luck jigging with the Blue Fox Foxee' Minnow. Just a jighead/ 3" tube also works great...God bless you, Italo

i'm from Northern Ontario we fish 4 whitefish using nets, tie it to the shore and stretch it out... but i like to try ice fishing get into using rods and don't know which hooks to use and which works best... Do u also use Power baits, and Gulps egg formation .. which depth is the best... everybody likes to go ice fishing for walleyes only... been studying other videos lately
