@Target Walleye: something to try that has worked for me the last couple days: use a glow Trout ‘N Pout, but remove the split-ring and treble hook and replace it with a duolock snap and attach a tube jig under the Trout N Pout. I’m using a small Berkley prerigged tube under the heavy Trout N Pout. It has excellent frantic injured fish action 😉
Awesome video with lots of good info. As a kid, fishing Lake Winnebago in WI on the west shore, we’d catch a TON of lawyer on the reefs in mid/late February while walleye fishing at night. Have never specifically targeted them. Going to head out this weekend for some night time lawyer action. Thank you! 1 second ago
Excellent video. I live in Finland but burbot fishing here is very similar and this video had everything I know and more. Also I’ve used big peeled shrimps from grocery store freezer to catch burbots effectively. Just melt them and microwave a few seconds to make them a bit tougher. Bonus side with them is that they don’t decrease the hooking ratio as much as more solid cut fish bait might.
Yeah buddy! I just started last year and just went out tonight for the first time this year and pick up 6 that were 8-10lbs. One that was 12lb. I'm from merrifield and always looking to get out.
Going to lake of the woods in a week and a half. We are going through border view lodge. But it is definitely on my list to caught one. Thank you so much for the tips and I did order some Big Nasty Tackle stuff to have on hand. Keep up the great videos
Best video ever. Great work:) Can't wait to try and catch one through the ice. Only one I have caught was on cut sucker fishing Cats on Pool 4. It was really small, 12" or so. Headed to Mille Lacs Feb.16th. Maybe we can catch one at night with your techniques!
Awesome video man, suuuper helpful. Headed to Leech Lake this weekend and hoping to spend a night on the ice targeting these beauties. Weekend after that we’re headed to LOTW where i hope to do the same and maybe get some bicatch lakers haha. Would make my day to catch either through the ice. Thank you so much for sharing, i can hit the ice with some confidence now.
Great video! I'm a Northern New Hampshire resident and I just started fishing for burbs this winter and I'm not afraid to admit that I got skunked... I spent entirely too much time in a non productive lake because it is close to home and I was learning how to catch lake trout on the jig rod. I only got to jig for burbs after dark once for about 3 hours in a bigger lake...then I set my traps and came back the next morning to nothing .... watched 3 guys catch a bunch about 150 yards from me....lol In 7 - 12 feet semi rocky Didn't want to barge in on them but I saved that knowledge for next time I was given a crate full of antique "cusk traps" simple stick with a spring steel flag and a wire trigger Laws say check at least once every 24 hours and I'm allowed 6 traps plus regular fishing lines... Set em up vertically next to the hole so you can find them if it snows and snow machines don't run them over I used golden shiners for bait and here we cant use treble hooks with bait... so I run single hooks on just about everything respect the fish ! I release 99.9% of my catch year round Looking forward to trying some burb chunks Our ice is on it's way out sadly, but I'm still hopeful it will lock back up for a bit more fun Your truck fishing sounds great! Cheers!
A lot of really good information in this video! Burbot are a riot to fish for! I have the Trout and Pout Spoons, but will have to grab the Pout Pounder Jigs.
Well it is that time of year again where I watch this video on repeat :). Great video as always. 6-7 days coming up split between Bemidji and Brainerd and they are pretty much dedicated to the Pout. Hoping I can finally get on a good bite.
@@TargetWalleye They are the best tasting fish. My number 1 fish for chowder. Around here (Grand Island, Lake Superior) they are also known as shupack (shoe-pack) don't know if I spelled it correctly.
Yup, after dark is best time to fish. & can catch bigger ones around mouth of sloughs, little river, & creeks. Some I keep for consumption & some for dog food. Kuskokwim river Alaska.
Man last ice season was my first time targeting burbot, and me and a buddy must have caught 120+ fish in a few hours it was nuts..... Now I’m Addicted LOL
Just went to like your video and it turns out that I had already liked it! Must be getting old 😂 I love your passion for these fish. I share the same passion and hope to get on some big ones one day. I mainly Fish Flaming Gorge down in Wyoming. Thanks for the enthusiasm and the great information.
Your video was super helpful I'm in Alton New Hampshire we have two massive lakes lake Winnipesaukee and lake Merry meeting both lakes are lake trout and rainbow and landlocked salmon lakes no wallye but loaded with burbot there just hard to find because the lakes are so big but very rocky floors on these lakes
If running trebles use a fas-tach clip between the lure and hook. When you bait up, a quarter twist takes the treble off, and you can load up the shank of the hook with t-boned bait vs loading the hook points, which become de-baited quickly slamming dirt on bottom. Just a easy tip for anybody interested
Thanks Jordan! I haven’t but would LOVE to one day. Actually my aunt has a cabin there, but haven’t been able to visit since I was a little kid. Need to change that!
Thanks for the info. This is my first year ice fishing and all your information was laid out very well and easy to understand. Including where to set up on lake topography. Have any tips for where to locate on the Mississippi River and backwaters?
Hello ! Awsome video man! From sweden here, heard there is burbot in a lake close to my home. Hardly anyone fishing there. Done a few tries 3 nights in a row but not a single bite... have been fishing in shallow water. Think the lakes deepest spot is 25-30feet. Think this is where i should try to find them? Thanks for the advise so far , switching out my bait from shrimps xD
Every lake is different, but I usually have the best luck starting at the deepest hole of the lake, then working my way in towards the first structure that butts up to it. Definitely don't be scared to hit shallow water nearby there though. Good luck!
Cool video...going up to Cold Lake AB for a couple overnights (a first for me) for some big lakers but will be targeting burbot during the nights, thx good info!
Thank you very much for this video, I caught my first pout on LOTW last year on a rattle real at 3:00 am, was targeting walleye, but I was supper excited to pull it up. It was only about 2 lbs so smallish but tasted great and has gotten me more interested in targeting them. I'm looking to hit up lake of the valley, if you know what lake I mean by that name you where I'm talking about. Any tips for that location would be great if you can help
Awesome! And yes I’ve fished it. They like deeper 35-40’ water out there. Fish the bottom of the break. Lots of numbers of fish but still have a chance at sticking a big one. Good luck! And be safe because the ice can be sketchy out there in areas.
I like the 1 1/8th ounce trout&pout, but i remove the treble hook, add a large offset gamakatsu j hook, and pack it with raw shrimp. Nice and oily, and they stay on the hook for a long time pounding bottom.i prefer the single hook over the treble as it seems to bite and hold best. I also take a small lightstick, crack it, and u.v. epoxy it to the side of the lead. Its instant and cracks off the next time youre out with a squeeze of a pliers. Always bright, always charged, and deadly.
Sweet video! Now I really want to try sleeping out after lake trout fishing this winter... We hook into the odd ling chasing lakers in 60-70' of water, should I just stay put there for the night or work my way in shallower?
Each fishery is different, but I usually have better luck sliding up a hair shallower after dark. Try moving to the bottom edge of the break just in from where you're catching them in the daytime. Always helps to set up a deadstick or tip-up shallower to help dial-in where they're coming through at different times of the day. Good luck!
curious how long you spend in a spot with no action when truck fishing before you move on? also have you tried colored glow jigs like orange, yellow or red? i make jigs and some colors glow really bright also..
So I am from BC Canada and am planning a trip to Bridge lake in the southern interior. It is well know for burbot, lakers and kokanee. I have fishes my whole life but never any of these species theough the ice. I am going to target burbot and lakers. If you have a minute would yo mind taking a look at the depth charts and picking out a couple spots you would reccomend me starting? I loved this video and found it to be the most helpful one yet.
You should check out the Milwaukee head lamps they last out in the cold very well. I live in yellowknife nt Canada 🇨🇦. And share by the headlamp, very bright and last a long time and rechargeable.
I've heard great things about 'em! Will have to snag one. Plus that'd go perfect with the current red theme in my garage...basically Milwaukee everything haha. Thx for watching!
It's funny how some days they are super picky, then other days I swear they would eat a rock with a hook on it. Thanks for watching! 👊 Hope you have an awesome season.
@@TargetWalleye I live in the south metro, but I'm heading up to Pokegama in 2 weekends. Gonna try for Lakers, will have to try for Burbot after dark as well!
Take an empty eye drops bottle and insert a needle for inflating a soccer ball into the tip. reassemble the bottle. Insert the needle into a whole dead minnow and fill the abdomen with air. It keeps the minnow vertical while the jig head pounds the bottom.
So you wouldn't tie a barrel snap directly to braid? I was going to run one rod with straight power pro...but I was thinking about the little give when you have a mono leader. we don't catch big ones, they run, 2-6 lbs. all shallow rocks/gravel/sand 4-7 ft. the lake is max 19 ft.
They are soooo tasty. I know a lot of people do the lobster boiling dealio...but I prefer deep-fried little chunks or even sauteing them like scallops in garlic butter.
I'm a little bit north of you, close to Crosslake. Can't find Burbot here yet. It's about 50 minutes from here to either MilleLacs or to Leech. Where would I have my best luck for potentially consistent action? I'm gonna miss the EelPout festival on Leech. That was a serious party with some great fish being caught.!
@@TargetWalleye Thank you! I guess that I'll have to try to figure out how to fish in my own back yard. Which lake of the Chain would you recommend that I start on? I'm on the east side of the Chain.
Oops... I think that I just figured it out! I was watching some of your buddies videos for Burbot, and I think that I recognized some of the shoreline. Hope to see you out there some time this winter! Fantastic videos. Subscribed and Liked.
Anyone ever add scent to cut bait? Im at flaming gorge and most people use sucker meat or chub meat but I dont hear anyone adding like garlic or anise to it.
Absolutely. I've heard good things about them. I wouldn't even be afraid to bump up to the 2000 size for the bigger spool and higher gear ratio...it'll bring in 8" more line per crank. Would fit 8- or 10-lb mono better and typically bigger reels are going to have smoother drags.
@@TargetWalleye I own a few of the 1000 but I don’t own the 2000 so I was debating buying it if the 1000 couldn’t handle it. I’m doing LOTW in a few days
@@TargetWalleye Sir, I have a question that I think you are uniquely qualified to answer. I’m coming up to LOTW with my family and staying in an ice castle provided by FirstCityGuideService/Chaz. I’ve never rented an ice castle before, is it common practice to tip? I don’t want to be insulting by tipping if it isn’t common but I don’t want to not do it if it is appreciated. Also what is a good amount to tip?
@@jjmcg9688 your 1000 will handle it just fine. I've ben buying more of the 2000 and even 3000 (depending on brand) for burbot and walleye ice fishing setups because of the few things I mentioned above. But also becasue then I can pull them off my ice rods and use them in the summer too. That 2000 will still work even tho it isn't marketed as an ice fishing reel - you'll be good!
Yes. Though, they aren't as plentiful as the Gorge or Fontenelle. I've not heard of too many people targeting them on Boysen. People often catch them by accident though.
Companies dont put good hooks on their stuff because they want to overcharge you for a pack of good hooks at the tackle store. Mustad KVD EWG treble hooks are like 9bucks for a 6 pack where i am at. Most guys are replacing their bass crankbaits with those hooks.
Born in Brainard, Lived in Deerwood. Got smart and moved to Palm Springs fished wearing shorts in March. No Burbot within a thousand miles. Dang. Way to many soy boys with skinny jeans and man buns.

I have to say I’ve probably watched this video 4 times. The amount of information showed in it is awesome.
Damn man you’re so much fun to watch - info, humour and a pinch of goofy.
Thx dude! Really appreciate it.
Either that was one of the best fishing video of any species. I want more pls
Killer video! So much more useful than others. Plus I love the conservation recommendation.
Never been fishing for Burbot, about to go on my first trip and this was a great video to get me started
Really great video. Going Burbot ice fishing for the first time in a couple of days so your tips and pointers were much appreciated.

Thank YOU for watching! Hope you're able to lean into one!
Excellent video! Really informative and entertaining. Also your wife seems like a really good catch who is good at catching fish.
Have a burbot trip planned with a buddy this weekend in Alaska. Now I'm super psyched for it.
Heck yeah! 👊 Hope you had fun.

We catch lots of them here in lake Superior late in ice season. excellent vid thank you very much.

In 7 - 12 feet semi rocky
Didn't want to barge in on them but I saved that knowledge for next time
I was given a crate full of antique "cusk traps" simple stick with a spring steel flag and a wire trigger
Laws say check at least once every 24 hours and I'm allowed 6 traps plus regular fishing lines...
Set em up vertically next to the hole so you can find them if it snows and snow machines don't run them over
I used golden shiners for bait and
here we cant use treble hooks with bait... so I run single hooks on just about everything
respect the fish ! I release 99.9% of my catch year round

Great video man. Exactly what I was looking for
I appreciate it! It got pretty long, but for some reason I just keep on talking when it comes to burbot haha. Such a fun fish to target on purpose.
Going to compete in the Burbot Bash out here in Utah. Thanks for all of the valuable info!
Absolutely! That derby is on my fishing bucket-list for one of these years. Good luck!

I live in the Brainerd lakes area as well and am hoping to catch my first this season, thanks for this very informative video. Tight lines!
Awesome! Thank YOU for checking it out. See you out there....
Please make a burbot fishing video. This was very helpful
The Fishin Hole has large glow tube jigs with trailer hooks called Cold Lake Specials. T.C. Moto makes some as well.
Your video was super helpful I'm in Alton New Hampshire we have two massive lakes lake Winnipesaukee and lake Merry meeting both lakes are lake trout and rainbow and landlocked salmon lakes no wallye but loaded with burbot there just hard to find because the lakes are so big but very rocky floors on these lakes
If running trebles use a fas-tach clip between the lure and hook. When you bait up, a quarter twist takes the treble off, and you can load up the shank of the hook with t-boned bait vs loading the hook points, which become de-baited quickly slamming dirt on bottom. Just a easy tip for anybody interested
WOW Awesome video so informative,Thanks and please keep em coming
Great stuff! Have you ever fished Winnipesaukee NH? Would love to know any good spots if so
Thanks Jordan! I haven’t but would LOVE to one day. Actually my aunt has a cabin there, but haven’t been able to visit since I was a little kid. Need to change that!
Good eating!! Did first winter bwca trip and we had Burb dogs every night for dinner. So tasty!
I got one last year walleye fishing in Michigan best tasting fish ever

I’ve never rented an ice castle before, is it common practice to tip? I don’t want to be insulting by tipping if it isn’t common but I don’t want to not do it if it is appreciated. Also what is a good amount to tip?
@@jjmcg9688 your 1000 will handle it just fine. I've ben buying more of the 2000 and even 3000 (depending on brand) for burbot and walleye ice fishing setups because of the few things I mentioned above. But also becasue then I can pull them off my ice rods and use them in the summer too. That 2000 will still work even tho it isn't marketed as an ice fishing reel - you'll be good!
Great video BAM
Awesome Video very informative! Where are you located out of?
Thx!! I live in Brainerd, MN.
@@TargetWalleye Nice I live in the area as well! Do you know if the burbot are starting to pick up on gull?
@@kozynorthoutdoors5155 it's the tail-end of the spawn right now. Peak seemed to be a bit over a week ago.
We fish them in northern Ontario and they are often in black water lakes.
Interesting!
I loved this video so much!
Thanks Much EH !!!!!!! 🎣
Eh! 👊🔥
Does Boysen have them as well? Great tips there, thanks!
Yes. Though, they aren't as plentiful as the Gorge or Fontenelle. I've not heard of too many people targeting them on Boysen. People often catch them by accident though.
@@wwittkop Hey, thanks for the info! I hear they are great to eat..
Great video this helped a lot!!!!!!!!
AWESOME! 👊 Hope you have an awesome season!!
You too!!!!!!
What a great video!
Companies dont put good hooks on their stuff because they want to overcharge you for a pack of good hooks at the tackle store. Mustad KVD EWG treble hooks are like 9bucks for a 6 pack where i am at. Most guys are replacing their bass crankbaits with those hooks.
Where do you get the bands?
Awsome. Thank you
Well done video good sir
What size crank bait snaps are you using?
The size 00 and size 0 are what I use for 100% of my open-water and ice-fishing applications.
And what reel do you guys use for lake trout?
Thanks 😂😊
Burbot are in the cod family, they taste just like cod.
Born in Brainard, Lived in Deerwood. Got smart and moved to Palm Springs fished wearing shorts in March. No Burbot within a thousand miles. Dang. Way to many soy boys with skinny jeans and man buns.
Nice
