Fishing Techniques

  • For Burbot

    Fish near the bottom in deep water, especially during low-light conditions or at night, as burbot are nocturnal predators.

  • For Northern pike

    Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

  • For Walleye

    Focus your efforts around dawn and dusk, as walleye are typically more active during these low-light periods; use a slow, deliberate retrieve, as walleye often prefer a subtle presentation.
