Northwest Fishing Reports

YJ Guide Service is thinking about putting on a Burbot tournament next Jan. We are wondering if people would be interested in doing something like this. It would be a 6 hour tournament with a chili and cornbread feed to follow. It would be a individual tournament not a team event. We are thinking of a entry fee of $20 per person which includes the chili feed. We will be looking for sponsors and donations to give away at the event as well as the cash entry fee minus the permit fee. Prizes would be given to 1st-4th. We would go off of each participant entering only one fish, with the 4 biggest fish taking 1st-4th. We would have a 15 boat (30 person) limit as long as the permit is ok'd with WDFW. This would be a OPEN tournament, everyone welcome. We are thinking of doing it Jan 9th 2016 of next year. Please everyone give me your input on weather people would be willing to participate in this event or not next year. If we don't get enough interest in the event it wont be worth doing. Good fishing everyone....

Lake Roosevelt...Not sure I will be participating yet undecided lol

Thanks, YJ.
I would have to pass though. That is farther than I would travel.

I still have a lot to learn about fishing for burbot so my entry fee will probably just be a donation but I would be willing to participate plus I like chilli.

Count me in. I amy need to book a trip with you though so I can see how it's done.

sounds fun, but I have never even caught 1 eelpout, let alone be able to compete in a tourney. my goal is to catch 1 this year

that was supposed to say IF craig will be fishing.I fished burbot with him two weeks ago and he had 4 in the cooler before i figured it out,hes a great teacher though ,i would suggest anyone interested in learning to catch burbot hire him its a bargain and money well spent

Thanks Juggalo. Burbots not hard just a few tricks to putting them in your boat is all. Aj's dad give me a call sometime if you want to go...If guys can fish walleye then you can catch burbot....

Count me in to donate a prize. If it works on my schedule, I'll definitely do some fishing.
