Thank you DNR.

This ice fishing target is a fish of many names - burbot, eelpout, poor man's lobster, and more! 🎣

🐟 Burbot (Lota lota) are the only freshwater cod. They're shaped like an eel.

🥶 These fish love cold, deep waters - we have telemetry records of burbot going as deep as 900 feet in Lake Superior!

❄️ These fish spawn very early in the year compared to others, typically late February to March. They'll group up in massive spawning balls beneath the ice.

🌔 Their spawning behavior matches up well with ice fishing season. These fish are pretty active at night and glowing bait is sure to catch their attention.

🎣 The possession limit for burbot will be four starting Mar. 1. Check the Minnesota fishing regulations for more details.
