A lot of guys have probably already heard me gripe about this, but I've never seen the ice fishing ON up there. I'm just snake-bit or something.
Quite few years ago, my ad and I got all excited about burbot, and everybody made it sound so easy. Three years in a row we went 3-4 times/year, I think a total of 10 times, blowing hundreds on gas and the reciprocal, toughing out single digit temps past midnight and 25 mph winds with no tent. The total take for the whole enterprise was a couple of fat 16" rainbows. Every time, I'd log on BFT afterwards, and every time, everybody was saying how nobody ad done very well.
So, I'm sympathetic, but it's about time to give it another try now that I have a little gear. Aren't they spawning or about to spawn, or am I off?
