Title: Burbot in the shallows
Post by: fbksmtnman on Nov 07, 2011, 02:11 AM

I know this is an icefishing group but I found this fasinating.  I was on a early winter caribou hunt on a large lake in alaska, it was still open because of the size.  I was in my waders using the lake shore/shallows as the eaisest route and had my headlamp on after dark.  There were small burbot (6-10 inches) all over the shallows.  And they were super mellow.  A person could walk up slow and if you reached fast enough catch them in your hands. I caught about 5 before I decided enough was enough and need to get back to camp.  I just found found it to be pretty cool!!  Hope you guys dont mind the post.  Its getting colder we'll all be on the ice soon!!
