#1 || Jeff Matity: The Fascinations of Burbot

February 15, 2024 Gord Pyzer & Liam Whetter Episode 1

This week Gord and Liam sit down with biologist, Jeff Matity to discuss the amazing underwater world of burbot.  Did you know that burbot communicate with each other when they spawn? And that the non-breeders guard and protect the spawning grounds against intruders. We also examine the ways you can use this cutting-edge science to increase your catch of burbot — you can decoy them using muskie baits — and land more of the fabulous freshwater cod every time you go fishing. We even divulge a top secret burbot tactic with a crazy spin off benefit: the biggest northern pike of your life.
