I put nav lights on my boat a few months back specifically so I can night jig for burbot come spring. Any tips on that? I assume glow heads / plastics and cut bait?

Specifically made for burbot fishing.

Any jig that will get you on the bottom, tipped with perch or worm. I catch them in the daytime bottom bouncing every time out.40 to 50 ft seems to be the depth they like where I fish

Well I think I am going to hit Banks Lake March 6th or 7th. Back-up will be the Spokane arm of Roosevelt Lake.

Is it hard to find nightcrawlers this time of year? Or should I find another bait to use?

Any other good tips for this lake?

Flashlight after a good rain. Any lawn will do.

Isn't it a little early in the year for that method?

With the ground cover they are called "Snow Snakes"    :chuckle:

You can find them at North 40 or Walmart.
