[size 1]Had some guys up last night that wanted to catch a burbot. We ventured out to Marsh Creek, even in the midst of the big winter storm. It blew like crazy, dumped about 4 inches of new snow, but everyone got some action. We totaled 17 burbot and 1 lake trout before "saying uncle" at 7pm. The best action was the last half hour when you could barely see the shore. Apparently the worse the weather, the better the burbot?
Most of the fish were small, 14-18 inches. One of the guys got a 28-incher, his first burbot ever and the biggest I've seen personally. We were using jigging spoons, jigging Shad Raps, and jigs in glow color, tipped with sucker meat. Fish were caught from 12-41ft, right on the bottom. [/size]
