BURBOT FISHING

OK Burbot 1 me 0 . Tried for the elusive Burbot this weekend with no success. I still want to catch a Burbot.....just because. I will try again soon. Thanks for all the fishing tips on the forum. To the other Burbot fisherman on Saturday, how did you do Saturday night?

    yep, I struck out too!

    I tried Thursday night, the wind was whipping like it was hoping to push me clean in the lake. burbot 1 me 0 :).

    by the way? are burbot light biters??- its POSSIBLE that something nibbled on a minnow or two. between the wind and the heavy sinker I don't think I would've felt it.

    I tried Sat. night with no results. Had some good sized minnows too but alas, nothing. Might try again this weekend. Anyone ever caught them on salted minnows? I salted our leftovers and have some pretty good sized ones.

    220, 221. Whatever it takes....

    Maybe put a small piece of packing peanut in a salted one and try it off the bottom while you use a live one on another rod....Don't these things live on the bottom?

    Thanks td99 I will need some on the pics thing. Was a 360 from Fri. Just saw a guy that had landed a lawnchair and 1 perch, I didn't even get a bite neither did my co-worker who came along for the duration, nice day though.
