i just stumbled upon this site as well. we fish the waters of the Pacific Northwest, specifically Eastern Washington and Idaho. My Son and Grandson landed 4 nice Steelies last weekend. I am going Burbot fishing this weekend if i can manage to stay warm and dry. they were just starting to bite (11pm), several days ago but after the rain drenched thru 3 layers of clothing, no size fire would keep you there when temp was 38F. Walleye fishing is outstanding here as well. keep your rods bent
