Burbot Madness

[Angler]

Hi everybody!
Haven't posted for awhile.
Just a TBT to the great day at Lac Sante, couple of weeks ago.
Me and my buddy got there around 2 PM, and we had our limit caught by 430 PM. What an action, I must say. And some tasty healthy fish too.

Here is the video of that amazing day

As well as couple pics







Thank you for watching!

Have you been back to Lac Sante this winter? Any luck?

Just a guess but you probably will not hear much until closer to the spawn. It can be a tough lake in January and for a good part of Feb. At least from my experience.

No, not yet. Gonna check it out soon though.
I am sure you could catch them all the times there, not so crazy as they spawn, of course. But we were there in October and caught one from shore, probably would get more, but had to go back to Edmonton. It was around 5 PM when it bit.

Yeah, I think it's still a bit early, but I'm sure that lake will be hot pretty soon! Gonna go there in two weeks I think...
Hold on fish and chips!

Remember, that the one which we caught during the summer took the bait on my rod... Those slimy rascals are all mine! I marked the honey hole on my GPS too...

I haven't targeted burbs in awhile. That's gotta change.

That's when they spawn though...

Heading there in 30 min. Am a local for last.20 Yrs only consistent fishing we have left. I just release most of them aren't worth cleaning if there under 4 lbs

Yup. In March it'll be crazy busy there. Has been the last few years since the word got out.
Average size of fish are pretty small now compared to what it used to be.

I have never been to there. Can I know from which entrance do you enter this lake? I am planning a trip with my son to there. Thanks advance.
