Fishing Michigan's Upper Peninsula!


 

Escanaba Ice Fishing Burbot Bash

Anna River Monising Bay, Munising Michigan USA
Burbot Another Michigan Winter Cabin Fever Cure hits the bucket.  The Escanaba Burbot Bash winter fishing event is no longer to be found on the World Wide Web. Organizers have abandon the event... so it appears. Though understandingly of course.

Burbot Bash

Update:  May 30, 2013

There is no longer a Burbot Bash.  its time has come to and end.  But you're welcome to visit days gone by while it lasted in Escanaba, Michigan

The last known Burbot Bash began at 10 AM on the 25th of February 2006.

UPDATE: February 23, 2008

I'm not even sure this event even takes place anymore. I can't find a single link to the event in 2008, anywhere. It's like so many other Upper Peninsula Events that take place. They promote it with a website, the event takes place and then it disappears. Another perfect example of this is the Yoop's Classic Outhouse Race... good fortune for the UPCOR is everyone else promotes it for them... talk about a bunch of cheapskates.

The Burbot Bash URL (web address) to the event organizers website (upwoodsnwater.com) doesn't even exist, and no one else is promoting the event.

So here I am, left a with Yooper Stupid Burbot Bash page, with no event. Rather than throw this page into cyber space, I think I'll keep it around for awhile just to see how many people visit it.

None the less, read further on to find out what this event was in its day.

Burbot Bash of 2006

We will be fishing off the Terrace Motel. For those of you that don't know where it is, it's between Eskie and Gladstone. If your heading North out of Escanaba, it's on the right hand side. There's a big sign out in front of it. If you hit the Bait Shop or the Gladstone Shell station, you've gone too far. Oh yeah, and get your bait from Chris' (Bait Shop Guy) store

Everyone will need to stop in at the Terrace and pick up a launch sticker. They are 2 bucks I think. Head straight off the launch, look for a bunch of
portable shanties and snowmobiles/quads grouped together. I'll try to have the UPWW flag flying as well. I would suggest using a machine to get out rather than a truck. If you don't have a snowmobile/quad, you can call my cell and we will run to the launch and pick you up. It's 906.869.9040.

As far as gear: I'd recommend bringing at 2 tip ups and 1 jigging pole. On the tip ups, a treble hook and floro leader are suggested. Bring lots of
weight to get it down, otherwise it'd take a long time to drop a shiner 50 feet. On the jigging pole, a buckshot Glo spoon tipped with a minnow head is the ticket. If you don't have one, stop in and Chris (or his staff) will hook you up. Dusk is the best burb time, and we'll have a lot of tip ups out. Make SURE your name is on your tip ups. Tip up lights might be a good idea as well if you plan on staying through prime time. Mid sized shiners have been the ticket in the past.

We will have a cleaning station set up on the tailgate of my truck. Bring some baggies and we'll show the burbot noobs how to clean the ugly buggers.

I will supply brats and my homemade BBQ beef sandwiches for lunch. If you want to bring "ice" food to pass around (summer sausage, chips, etc) your
more than welcome to, but don't feel obligated. I will have enough Homebrew American Ale (given carbonation times go as usual) for everyone to have a beer or two- if you want more beer than that, bring your own additional brews. ID's will be checked if your a pup.

I know the regular crew is pumped to get out there and fish. We should have good fishing, and we will for sure have allot of fun! See you there!
