Black 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2020 Any recent update on both the fishing and the ice on Jessie? I'm hoping to try for both lakers and burbot there. What depths are people finding fish? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted March 12, 2020 20-40ft you are in the burbot Zone I have caught most of mine in 29-30ft. 30+ Is laker territory With my preference being 75ish but caught in as little as 25. I havent been out in a week or so so I’m not sure on the ice conditions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James01 223 Report post Posted March 12, 2020 Last weekend there was no slush, and about 12'' of ice. No Lakers, but caught Ling (I posted a photo). Action was slow, but never fished Jesse before, so I had little idea where to go. I want to get out there at least once more this season. Good luck!

Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted March 12, 2020 When you time it right you can’t keep them off your line. Smelts are a key bait for both species Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
