What is a Burbot?
« on: Jan 10, 2006, 08:47 AM »
Is it the same as a cusk?  if so why isnt the maine team catching any.  are we all waiting for sebago to freeze.  What about tougue, why havent we entered any fish in the tougue catagory.  I plan on entering more fish this weekend for the maine team.

Yes its a cusk. Most are just heating up for the year so before long we will be making a statement. Feb. is the best time for huge cusk but I'll be out before that.

After you catch one and you get it home... put it in the sink and put water around it and he'll come back to life in a little bit!
