    Tim, do you have any tips for catching burbot through the ice on Keweenaw Bay? I'd love to give it a shot but I've never done it before. Also, what kind ...more of gear do you use for them?

    Sorry I haven't been on for a while! I've been pretty busy with other stuff lately. Hopefully I will get to do a bunch of ice fishing this winter! Here is ...more a nice walleye from yesterday. Caught on a tip up with a sucker in a very unconventional way. I was marking most of my fish 20-30 feet down over 46 feet of water, so I went over to adjust the depth of the tip up. When I dropped my transducer down the hole I saw a big mark just below the sucker. I grabbed the line and started "jigging." When the fish started coming up I pulled the sucker up slowly to make him chase it, and he ate it! It was really cool to feel that kind of bite on a hand line. I fed him line for a minute just to make sure he had it, and then set the hook and pulled him in.

    Three of us had an awesome evening fishing pike and walleyes yesterday! The pike averaged pretty small, but the walleyes were averaging in the upper 20 inch range.

About

Hello! My name is Tim. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I fish for anything that bites on both ice and open water. I especially enjoy ...more picking apart waterways in search of trophy fish. I would rather catch one big fish than 100 little fish. Some of my favorite species include walleye, pike, smallmouth bass, and lake trout. I enjoy documenting my fishing adventures through photographs and videos. I graduated from Michigan Technological University in 2015. I currently work full-time as a mechanical engineer. Aside from fishing, I also enjoy hunting, skiing, photography, and researching advanced topics of theoretical physics, such as the quest for a unified field theory.
