![]() And by all means, once you find these areas, use your GPS to mark them well, because they will produce for you year after year. Fish these spots early and late in the day-as well as at night-to find their travel routes and the “spot-on-the-spot” features. Still, two solid patterns for this period are deep rock structures and current areas. Mid-winter finds burbot widely distributed throughout the lake basin making harder to pattern. However, tip-ups will produce daytime burbot if you set them just beyond the deepest holes. The burbot usually start to bite after the walleye quit for the night. ![]() Your best burbot bites will come out of the deepest holes where, often, first-ice walleye are also contacted. The best locations are deep, rocky, main lake points, as well as the first major drop-offs near current areas (often dangerous at this time of year so, beware). For simplicity sake, let’s shorten them into three winter periods that anglers are most familiar with: First ice, mid-winter and last ice.Īt first ice, it is, in fact, the fall ciscoe spawn/post-spawn dispersal that offers burbot the chance to feed on ciscoes, their eggs, and the scavengers that also share the bounty, namely, suckers, shiners minnows, crawfish and perch. Jeff: You need to understand the burbot ice fishing season is comprised of four specific calendar periods: First Ice/the Cisco Spawn Pre-spawn spawn and post-spawn.
