On a first trip to Burrows, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.
A medium spinning rod covers smaller lures at Burrows, while a heavier rod and stronger leader are better for northern pike.
At Burrows, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.
