WEll i thought i would target ya becasue you seem to have the best results...What i would like is a typical day of LING fishing for you. If you could take a day and fish for ling and Chart the results. Time of hits sizes and when you stopped. This way i can see how many you get compared to what your doing..what baits ect to see what im doing wrong..If this is at possible.Thanks. Tight lines all.

sounds like your doing everything right.  try a new spot,  I don't chum beforehand, but it would work especialy for a lake.  It took me a year of targeting burbot to actually catch one, but after i did i practically get them every time. dusk-11,  bounce the bottom, tip the lure with bait,  find some structure like a rise in the bottom where they are likely to feed. If you haven't done that don't move just yet.

Nope done it all...But i don't know if i should use a different spot yet. Im baiting the next time alot. Like maybe 4 pounds of dead carcasses then il hit them the next nite. LAst time i tried them we had 3 people. 6 lines total. Glow jigs minnows alive ...minoows dead. SOme bouncing furiosuly other slow lift jigging. I think it might have been location on this one. Not alot of cover where we were so maybe they didnt come by that way?? Ill try over by more rocks and stuff this bottom was a little sandy. See its not a very big lake at all so i sort of figured we might have had a nice chance. I also had set 2 of my lines near a rock face just to see if it was location but they wernt as close so i couldnt check as regualarly and they wern't jigeed just topped with dead minnows. Im going to get some glow jigs like you haVE AND TRY  the big jigs. When your jigging for them are you fast jigging then sit for a few secs? or like like just jig...jig...jig....? Just curious. Thanks alot jake this will help me out.TIght lines you LINGmaster you.

i'd almost try another lake,  we've caught all ours on mostly sandy/silty bottoms, in some lakes they actually make burrows.  you might try a rocky spot, but i don't think weed cover will be as productive, i could be wrong though.  I'd try another lake...where are you located...Also i do the best in rivers, thats where i target them mainly.  So if you have a frozen river with them in it, give it a try, but be careful on the river ice.

25 is my best this season for 4 hours i think.  i lost about what i caught, their mouths clamp so strong that you can't always get your hook to turn, and with six pound test you don't get the force to turn it.  so you think you got them hooked and they get up to the bottom of the ice and then spit it.  Anyway that night i had 5 over 8 pounds, the biggest being 14.5.  8 pounds is a state trophy.  and they averaged about 5-6 pounds.  But like i said i lost as many as i caught if not more.  Only two breakoffs, but on the hooksets...who knows how big they were.

Just curious Jake how old you are? And how long you been fishing LIng. ANd do you eat all these ugly buggers? YOu like the taste compared to other fish like trout and perch and white fish etc etc. Just like to know what you think overall of these fish since you seem to be well qualified to tell us. Thanks again. Tight lines!

I'm 21 and i've been fishing burbot for almost 4 years.  I've done quite a bit of independant study about burbot, pretty much whatever is available, including scientific biological discussion.  I eat them and enjoy them quite a bit.  On a scale of one to ten for the taste, 10 being the best ive ever had, 1 being the worst; i'd give them an 8 or a 9.  They have a pretty good flavor to them.  They have a somewhat different texture to them then other fish, and a flavor compareable to cod.  the only qualm i have about the flavor is that when you skin them, the fat/membrane between the meat and the fish had a different texture that i don't like, but that isn't noticeable when its fried.  There isn't a whole lot of popularity to them, so becoming an expert doesn't take as long.  They don't usually fight really hard for their size(i disagree with anyone who claims they do), but due to their large average size, it doesn't really matter.  They are very agressive, and i believe it is another myth that keeping bait still is better than jigging (Barlydog will vouch for that).  The biggest plus for them is they are most active at night, and with 4 hours of daylight here in december that really helps.  So overall they are one of my favorites to target.

It is nice to have someone Like you on here that seems to really enjoy fishing for them. I wish to be able to target them like you but we dont get no where the size that you do..Or at least i don't get anywhere the size you do. I would love to and brag to my friends regarding their great taste but havent ever given my friends any to eat. They are like gold to me. On a average week how many would you keep? Also what are your favorite recipes for them? Im going to try all that you have given me as far as hints and tricks and let ya know just how it works..But i think like you said it might be the body of water im on and ill need to relocate till i can target them successfully like yourself. Keep up the good work jake and thanks for all your help. TIght lines

I usually keep them if they are over 5 pounds.  They are really good breaded and fried, but i like to just simmer pieces in butter because its really good and quick and easy.
