burbot limits

[grumpymoe]

here in manitoba we have no limits on burbot and are generally treated as garbage fish--what limits do you have where you fish

[fishermanjake]

It depends where you fish them in alaska, some places you can't even keep them because of overharvest.  But standard is either 2 or 5 a day in lakes depending on the lake and 15 for many of the rivers.  set lines are permitted i many areas for them.  my best night (couple weeks ago)  i caught 25 and kept 2 short of the limit.  before that i always thought burbot were pretty elusive, i had heard rumors of people catching alot at a time but never did it before. have now and got the pictures to prove it

Here in BC we are only allowed 5. Anything under 5 lbs we throw back. Did catch 137 one night so released alot of 1-4lbers. Sure glad some people regard this fish as garbage cause it leaves more for me. If you are fishing deep though, reel slow as their swim bladders will come out their mouth and they can't be released. #2 fish in my books right behind sturgeon.

Where in NH do you get your cusk? I try to get them in winni but haven't had much luck the past few years just a few small ones.

i fish w/ BIGDAWG, we get our cusk in newfound lake, always catch plenty, nothing too big, my biggest is 4 pounds. i hear off of rattlesnake island is real good, w/ some big ones being caught, i've never tried it though, i put my cusk lines in winni and all i caught were lakers. good luck
