Last year on the Gorge , I was hooking Macs and soon as the sun went down the macs were gone and the burbot moved in . I think I was fishing about 50' of water but burbot go shallow too at dark . Never did find a mac fishing at night . Did catch a bow at night along with the burbot .Nibble Nuts said:Do they show up in the same areas you would fish for macs?
Is that a picture of you wyogoob? If so, I dig the stash man!!! If not... I still dig the stash man!!!wyogoob said:Pronounced "burr-bit"
They are slimy, good to eat. A jig tipped with a worm or a small piece of sucker meat works good. Skin them like catfish.
Here's a pic of a good size one:

That's a helluva resolution, and I wish you the best of luck in both endeavors! 8)Nambaster said:I think I found myself a new years resolution....Catch a burbot and grow a stash..... :lol:
Thans for the info. Were you catching them on the same set-up as the macs?Hellsangler69 said:Last year on the Gorge , I was hooking Macs and soon as the sun went down the macs were gone and the burbot moved in .

Yes , I was catching on the same set up . Glow in the Dark is best but I did hook a few on white and chartreuse . I was using 5" tubes but 3" would get more strikes . I fished rocky areas around Buckboard last ice season . I even hooked them off the boat ramp in about 20' of water . They do seem to stop biting about 9:00pm . Or maybe I just couldn't find them after that . Besides it was time to go warm up at the motel too after 25 below temps .Nibble Nuts said:Thans for the info.

Not me, I'm the good-lookin one running the boat.J-bass said:Is that a picture of you wyogoob? If so, I dig the stash man!!! If not... I still dig the stash man!!!wyogoob said:Pronounced "burr-bit"
