Pier Fishing for Great Lakes BURBOT! | HOW-TO

[@Trudgewild]

Subscribe everyone and support this channel please 🙏. Shared this vid with all my friends. I really appreciate your hard work and efforts to bring us this footage. It’s tough to get enough light when night fishing bI’ll be going up to east side piers this weekend with good friends. I’ll be using crappie rigs with my salmon rods and a bell on the tip. Poor man’s lobster is so delicious and a beautiful fish.

It's also fun jigging straight down while waiting on the set rods to go off. They like to stay close to the pier wall too.

[@moremut]

Awesome Vid Fellas i wonder what other fish we have that many people don’t even know about

[@PierMichiganFishing]

@@moremut Yeah seriously, anytime I show someone a burbot they are shocked they live here. Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@jeremykenward3082]

Nice video guys! Got a master angler burb from that pier last december. Conditions were similar with wind and waves...but below freezing. Very sketchy when it gets like that, the whole pier head and our reels were covered in ice

[@PierMichiganFishing]

@@jeremykenward3082 Thanks! Sounds like quite the adventure, way to get after em 🤙

[@aaronstrohmeyer1037]

I like to use a high low rig for them. Quite often I get two on the same line. Kinda like perch fishing only the fish are 5-15 pounds.

[@jamescarbone4857]

Nice video! I'm on the wisconsin side, and the water is like bath water as usual😢. I tried Port Washington last night, and it was a bust. We always fish the harbors for them, never the breakwall. Maybe it's time to try off the pier.

[@PierMichiganFishing]

@@jamescarbone4857 Thanks! Maybe the December bite will work out better

[@realtruth716]

Holy crap when i was a kid we caught these in northern ontario but didn't know what they were we called them dogfish for some reason.

[@Blahppp]

Didn’t even know these fish exists

[@DanielPedraza-mc1zq]

Thanks for the info. Ice caught a burbot last year, with the water temperature in Lake Michigan 53 here in Chicago is that to warm for burbot?

[@PierMichiganFishing]

@@DanielPedraza-mc1zq I'd say that's just on the cusp for shore fishing for them, I'd say they are probably catchable but they are likely not in high numbers.

[@DanielPedraza-mc1zq]

@PierMichiganFishing thanks. Appreciate the response 👍

[@Conner_maas]

Banger fuckin video

[@moremut]

That fish looks like a snake head with a different pattern and way more slime

[@Skyliner04s]

I caught a burbot in Germany while eel fishing in june or juli. It was very small though. I think you guys don´t catch them in the summer because you don´t go fishing for eel.

[@Skyliner04s]

Let me clarify here. Maybe summer burbot is a EU thing. BUT all the other things bros said, I´d put my signage under. Very good tutorial!

[@PierMichiganFishing]

@@Skyliner04s Thank you! During the summer here, the burbot are hundreds of feet deep in the deepest waters possible. They are catchable, but not without a boat, and nobody here really does it.

[@Skyliner04s]

@@PierMichiganFishing Sick! The lake I fish regularily is 110 feet deep, it warms slowly during summer. I think, whenn the wind is just right, even the shallows are cool in the summer. Again, small burbot, lake is rather deep, not that big (6.911mi²).

[@feraltweed]

Is that the same thing as a dog fish

[@PierMichiganFishing]

Depends, dogfish are another name for the bowfin too which look similar.

[@savagetravfishing1414]

awesome video, fellas! I ran across this video because I’m really interested in catching burbot this season. Are you guys on Lake Michigan specifically?

[@PierMichiganFishing]

@@savagetravfishing1414 Thank you! We were fishing on Lake Huron, but they are caught a lot off Lake Michigan piers as well! I hope you get on some! 🎣 Appreciate the support

[@savagetravfishing1414]

@@PierMichiganFishing awesome great to know, I’m in Chicago so hopefully this year I can get on my first Windy City burbot!
