Dan can you scan or take a picture of the map? I'm going to pre fish it tmr before we head out

Burke was pretty successful. we were able to find 4 brush piles and picked off 7 fish. Nothing of size but still relatively successful.

7 fish between all 3 of you ? That would be a mediocre day anywhere else but not bad for burke lake. Any pics ?

yeah, 7 between all of us. Also a warmouth and a crappie.

I took a pic of the crappie to show a friend who is a crappie fisherman, other than that, nothing was worth getting the camera out.

Was it tough to het your boat out?

ooo, man. Just seven. What made it so hard today? You figure the weather played a role or is it just winter time fishin? I was wondering how you guys fared today. Tough luck. Any fish stories? Bigguns get away? Musky?

It's Burke Lake...it's not known for being easy. It can be good some days for the right people, but today was not one of those days or we were not those people.

First of all, you guys did very well for little knowledge of the brush piles.  Now that you have a basic idea of how they have layed them out, it should get easier to find them and easier to determine which piles are going to be productive.  For your first attempt at finding and fishing the Burke piles, well done.

you know what? I'm pretty sure that was how we felt when we loaded the boat. This was actually the best of my few trips to Burke as far as numbers go. We were pretty happy that we were able to locate and pull fish off of deep structure/cover because I'm pretty sure that collectively we had very close to zero experience with that sort of fishing.
