I was up for an adventure so me and a buddy ran up to flaming gorge to try for some burbot. Neither one of us had ever been there before or knew what we were doing but we ended up catching about 25 burbot and 7 lake trout. We just stopped at the first rocky point we found, fished from about 1600 to 1200 the next day. THey came into about 50 to 60 feet of water and the bite was good from about 1/2 an hour after dark to about midnight then it just stopped. Our biggest was about 5 lbs, we caught about 10 in the 4 to 5 range the rest were small. it was an adventure and the burbot are tasty, but the macs are still not that good. I need to find a way to cook those so they are edible any suggestions.
