Reel in the Big Ones on Burt Lake

Get ready for some serious rod-bending action on Burt Lake! This 6-hour private trip is your ticket to hooking into monster walleye and northern pike. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, Captain Justin knows all the honey holes where the fish are biting. We'll use tried-and-true techniques to put you on the fish, and with our top-notch gear, you'll be battling lunkers in no time. Burt Lake is a local favorite for a reason – the scenery is stunning, and the fishing is red-hot. So grab your lucky hat and let's hit the water!

What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard our fishing machine, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise out to some prime fishing spots that are dialed in for the day's conditions. Depending on what's working, we might do some trolling to cover water, or we could hunker down and jig over some key structure. Captain Justin's got a sixth sense for finding the fish, so get ready to feel that telltale thump on your line. The boat's decked out with all the gear you need, from rods and reels to live bait and lures. All you need to bring is a good attitude and maybe a snack to keep your energy up. With a max of two guests, you'll get plenty of one-on-one instruction to hone your skills and land that personal best.

Techniques That Fill the Livewell

On Burt Lake, we've got a few tricks up our sleeve to entice those walleye and pike. When the bite is on, we might be drifting live bait rigs along drop-offs or casting crankbaits near weed edges. If the fish are playing hard to get, we'll switch it up and maybe try some vertical jigging over deep structure. Captain Justin's always got his finger on the pulse of what's working, so you might learn some new techniques to add to your arsenal. We use a mix of spinning and baitcasting gear, all top-quality stuff that'll give you the edge when that trophy fish hits. Don't worry if you're new to any of these methods – by the end of the day, you'll be working that rod like a pro.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye are the crown jewels of Burt Lake, and for good reason. These golden-eyed beauties are not just a blast to catch, they're also some of the best-tasting freshwater fish you'll ever sink your teeth into. Walleye tend to hang out in deeper water during the day, so we'll be targeting them with precision trolling or jigging over humps and along drop-offs. They've got a soft bite, so staying focused is key – but when you set the hook on a big 'eye, you're in for a real fight. Spring and fall are prime time for walleye, but we catch them year-round on Burt Lake.

Northern pike are the other headliners on this trip, and boy, do they put on a show! These toothy critters are like the missiles of the lake – long, lean, and lightning-fast. When a pike hits your lure, hold on tight because they're known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. We'll be targeting them around weed beds and points, using big flashy lures or live bait under bobbers. Pike fishing really heats up in the summer months, but these predators are active all season long. Landing a big "gator" (as we call the big ones) is a memory you won't soon forget!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Burt Lake isn't just another fishing hole – it's a world-class fishery that keeps anglers coming back year after year. The lake's diverse habitat, from shallow bays to deep basins, means there's always a hot bite somewhere. And let's not forget the scenery – surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills, you're in for some serious eye candy between catches. But what really sets this trip apart is the expertise you get with Captain Justin. He's been fishing these waters for years and knows how to put clients on fish even when conditions are tough. Plus, with just two guests max, you're getting a personalized experience that's hard to beat. Whether you're looking to fill the cooler or just enjoy a relaxing day on the water, this trip delivers.

Time to Book Your Spot

Alright, folks, let's not beat around the bush – if you want to experience some of the best fishing Burt Lake has to offer, it's time to lock in your date. This 6-hour trip is the perfect length to really get into the action without wearing yourself out. You'll come away with new skills, great memories, and hopefully a few "grip and grin" photos with your catch of the day. Whether you're planning a solo adventure or want to bring a buddy along, this private charter ensures you get the full attention of Captain Justin and his wealth of local knowledge. Don't let another season slip by without getting out on Burt Lake – book your trip now and get ready for a fishing experience that'll have you hooked for life!

Learn more about the species

Northern Pike

Northern pike are the ambush predators of Burt Lake. These toothy missiles average 2-3 feet long but can get much bigger. Look for them in weedy bays and near drop-offs, especially in cooler water. Early spring right after ice-out is prime pike time as they're in the shallows to spawn. Anglers love chasing pike for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. Be ready for some drag-screaming runs! They're not the best eating, but make for awesome catch-and-release action. When targeting big pike, try using large, flashy spoons or swimbaits. Cast near weed edges and retrieve with a steady, medium-paced retrieve. And don't forget your steel leader - those razor-sharp teeth will slice through regular line in a heartbeat.

Northern Pike

Walleye

Walleye are pretty unique fish - they've got these big, reflective eyes that help them see in low light. Most hang around 15-30 inches long. You'll find them near rocky bottoms or weed edges, usually in deeper water during the day. They move shallow to feed in the evening, which is prime time to catch them. Spring and fall are great seasons as the walleye get more active. Folks love targeting walleye because they put up a good fight and taste fantastic. If you're after a trophy, try slow-trolling with a bottom bouncer and nightcrawler harness. It's deadly effective when you find a school. Just remember to be patient - walleye can be finicky, but the reward is worth it.
