Hello everybody
I am new to ice fishing and need some information from experienced people to help me along.
I have done research on Keho lake and have decided that this is the lake I want to fish, but being an Ice Fishing Rookie, I am really unsure as to my best methods of fishing this lake.
I really want to target Burbot as my main fish of choice, but can not really find anything specific as to baits, times, methods and so on for this critter on Keho lake.
I have purchased all the gear I will need, but I am sadly lacking in knowledge and experience.
I also see that there are whitefish in this lake, and I am wondering if they are any good to eat, and if so do they need to be smoked first or is straight into the frying pan a good way to go ?
I have gone out to Keho to check it out and have spoken to people on the ice, but nobody could really help me out with what I was asking.
Pretty much everybody told me the same thing, "I fish for pike" with no interest in burbot or whitefish, they were nice about it, but could not help me out.
So I guess what I need is all the info I can get to help me catch burbot and whitefish as long as the white fish are good eating..
I also am a 100% barbless fisherman, regardless where I fish and what the regs state, I also only keep what I and my family can eat at one sitting.
Thank you in advance to everybody and anybody who passes along information to me, I really appreciate it
