I was wondering if any body knows how ice off, early spring fishing for burbot is at the Gorge? I saw a YouTube video where a Utah fisherman/TV host teamed up with a Wyoming guide, and were slaying them from a boat late fall of 2012. Looks like a blast. Wasn't sure if it was because it was pre or post spawn, or if it was because the burbot tend to be more active simply due to cold water temps? Anybody have some input? I want to go this year and do my part (also dying to try "poor man's lobster"), but I want to do it from my new boat. It's a fairly decent haul from where I'm at in Casper, so, I'd hate to waste my time and go at the wrong time of year.
