What a perfect way to end the ice season.

We caught over 20 burbot, including some absolute tanks. The ice is deteriorating fast, so we decided to call it quits, but as we were packing up we spotted a few more on camera at 1:30am and finished with a double hookup in the final moments.

We camped out, cooked out, woke up, and got one last session in that morning. The shoreline is done, and so are we.

If we had the chance to take you out this season, just know it truly means a lot that you chose us for your trip.

Now it’s time to chase Lake Michigan and Lake Superior steelhead. Hit me up if you want to book a trip. We’re fishing Baraga County and the Eastern UP, just a couple hours north of the bridge. Perfect for our Northern Michigan friends looking to escape the crowds and experience everything the UP has to offer.
