I think they said they got there about an hour before us, so around 3pm. I was really surprised they caught burbot that early in the evening, let alone that many. From what I saw last year and after talking to other anglers that have gotten into them, the bite doesn't usually start until after sunset or in the morning before sunrise. Maybe we just lucked into an early "dinner time". If you aren't catching them during the middle of the day at those same depths, maybe you could try moving deeper. I'm not sure though and would hate for you to drive all the way out and not ice a few because it's the wrong time of day.
The angler we spoke to as we were leaving, said he would camp out and fish all night long last winter. According to him, they bite through the night. Something about camping on the ice gives me the chills though.........
Good luck if you make the trip! Ryno
