[cool][#0000ff]Lots of lakes in the northern part of the country that have burbot. Most anglers usually don't really go after them except during the winter ice fishing season. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, those who do, usually fish at night with minnows or fresh chunks of fish meat. They will take crawlers but prefer fish. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]During the open water months, they are seldom caught, except by accident...guys vertical jigging for other species such as macks or walleyes. They definitely hang on the bottom and will not rise far in the water column to chase a lure. And, if you tip the lure with worm or fish it will work even better. Walleye jigs tipped with minnows catch a lot of burbot in their range.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]They are members of the cod family, and have mild white flesh. They are well worth catching and keeping.[/#0000ff]
