Acountdeleted Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Due to multiple reasons it looks like I won't be getting out on the ice this year nearly as much as I had hoped, but in a couple of weeks my mom, girlfriend and I are renting and overnight hut on Lake Nippising which I'm super excited for. I've got my plan all laid out for perch, walleye and herring but then I got to thinking about Burbot. I remember before a few people mentioning that to hook up with Burbot, a nice dead minnow on the bottom of the lake works well but I was wondering, how late should I fish for them? I mean. don't get me wrong, I'd pull an all nighter if I thought I could staring at the hole waiting for a bite, but I figure I should get sleep at some point in time. For everyone/anyone that has had success can you share some pointers? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) only time ive caught burbs, sand flats with a deadsticked minnow sitting right on bottom and it was night time Edited January 25, 2018 by AKRISONER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Best think you can do is to put a tipups with big junk of meat of couple big minnows. I had a lot of luck fishing for burbot on nippising this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Glow spoons with a minnow jigged near bottom are deadly on burbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks guys. Drifter, do you dead stick or do you move them at all? Also do you 'Charge' them before you send them down? I remember I was with Simon (Pikeslayer) on early morning for Chinook on Lake O and he had us charging up the lures with a fluorescent flashlight. (I think I have a few glow spoons but I'll have to check) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Youre overthinking it Jer. Whatever you were using for walleye before sundown, just keep it down there. They're super aggressive and predatorial. Glow spoons like buckshots tipped with a minnow arr probably the best, but they're not picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Sweet. Thanks Joey. Was hoping you would chime in on this. B, end of Feb or March I'll make sure to visit for a morning. Save some whities for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
