How big will the burbot be in the tourney.

[TGF]

Heh BC, I did some research and found out the biggest burby caught in Manitoba was only 39 inches. I know we can shatter that (Icechip???). My guess would be 43 inches

Got one already TGF? LOL sorry I know you'd never break the rules. We'll see what I can get out of the Home Ranch. You should give me some pointers

[TGF]

Well I stand corrected. The biggest fish in Manitoba is 42.5 inches. I still think we can beat that in Iceshanty tourney. All the big lakes are not froze yet. Thats where I like to go for burbot. I also find fishing for them starts getting good in mid February.
Is Peak lake frozen over yet? I didn't know it had burbys, but then again I don't fish there.
Pointers: Just check out the eelpout tips...lots of good info.

I know of guys that start fishing for Ling in November. I have heard that this is when they move back into the lakes before the winter comes. 90% of guys fish at night for them here, is what you PG guys do?

[TGF]

You bet JP. Most of the time I target them at night with glow in the darks. In deep 100-150ft of water I sometimes pick them up in day but in general seem smaller. I have a hot little jig that works great for them up here. PM me if interested.

MAN..... Can't wait for the tourny this year .

Just to show you B.C guys what your up against here is a fine example of a Manitoba burbot .


























 




See what you are up against . 



Now just step away from your holes and no one will be hurt

We are going to have to nickname you Germ there PP. He likes to catch them that little but he has a hard time skinning by the yolk sac

Looking forward to tourney too.
Nice walleye you posted on Manitoba board.
Good luck this year
