Burbot fishing Susitna River Alaska.

i was catching burbot constantly with a chunk of fresh salmon meat, it stays on and it works. roe works great too.

how is the su for action, are you using sets or fishing for them? how are the ice conditions and are there quite a few holes?

i was just bank fishin for em, around the talkeetna area at the mouth of a creek, ( cant tell ya the name ) where it runs into the su river.....it was during august, so i dont know bout the ice conditions, but i think all the burbot and other resident fish move in to thelower reaches of the river come ice up time. but the action was constant, and i can tell you that at just about any river mouth where it meets the gray water of the su you can slay burbot all day long while picking up other resident fish and incoming salmon.  great eatin too

what's the biggest you have gotten out of the su?  I fished them quite a bit in the tanana and caught a nuber of them in the 10-15 pound class

buddy of mine pulled one out that around 10, we never fished em before that much....but im sure theres larger ones out there considering the size of the river and the abundance of food
