We fish for them in about fourty feet of water right off of a rocky point. We use glow in the dark buzz bombs tipped with night crawler. Get it on the bottom and slowly bounce it off the bottom. When you get one it almost feels like you've snagged something and are dragging it up.They don't fight too much.

Sullivan Lake you can set I believe two trot lines with 5 hooks a piece for burbot. Double check its been a couple years since I have done it. Last time we did it we had a blast. The only problem was all the suckers in the lake. You get a trot line full of those and you have a mess. :chuckle: We set our lines on shelves around 45-70' just up from about 120'.

Yeah i heard that whole state record thing, but i thought it was a cutthroat. I know this is a different thread topic, but have you ever been up to helmer mtn. East of sullivan?
No it's brown trout I checked before I posted it just to make sure the weight. Never been to helmer mtn. Once we get to the cabin we don;t go anywhere til we head home. As far as trot lines go I don't think you can do that anymore. I think they got rid of that a few years ago, but i could be wrong. Couldn't find anything in the regs about it all I could find was "All fishing gear must be kept in immediate control and may not be left unattended while fishing. Rod holders may be used, but the rod must be easily removed without delay; rod may be left in holder while playing the fish." from page 26 under the tackle part.
