Whitefish in Holland?

[AbelOutdoors]

Has anyone historically caught Whitefish in Holland on the west side? With the DNR’s new regulations this November, I’d prefer to keep my gear as is. What parts of the pier/harbor have been successful for consistent Whitefish landing?

 

I normally fish Grand Haven but would love to fish closer to home if anyone has ever had success fishing out of Holland in the late months of the year.

Would love any advice!

Shoot…striking out; has anyone tried but not been successful?

I have caught them off most any pier and in the surf, but fishing very small spawn bags.  Ripping into them while they are trying to spawn seems counter productive to a fish with troubled populations, not to mention the crowd this draws leans towards chaos.

I’d just assume they close the season down in November like we do for spawning walleye and pike in the spring.

I have tried to jig them around the Bubbler in Port Sheldon with limited and mostly lake trout success.
