Fishing for burbot is always interesting, as you never know what size you can catch. For successful fishing, you need to know some details of the habitat of burbot, as well as its behavior depending on the season.
Fishing for burbot is done not only with fishing rods, but also with other devices. In summer, it is practically impossible to catch burbot with a fishing rod, as it searches for food mainly at night and at the bottom.
As soon as the ice leaves the rivers and the water becomes clear, burbot can be caught from the banks. Fishing rods should not be large, since this fish lives near the shores themselves, where there are deep places. At night, bells are tied to fishing rods so that you can hear about the fish biting.
The main nozzle for burbot is an earthworm. The burbot comes neatly to the nozzle and swallows it without any sudden movements. It is not always possible to recognize that the fish has swallowed the bait, since the bite is not very active. If, nevertheless, a burbot is caught, it is imperative to make a sweep, because he loves to dwell in snags and will definitely swim there. It will be very difficult to get it later.
Sometimes burbot is caught with hands. Basically, this type of fishing is used on hot summer days, when this fish swims under stones or buries itself in silt. In the cold season, burbot is caught with a ruff, pieces of meat or pieces of fish.
