bobbymalone Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 What exactly does a bullhead trap look like? And where can find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Carlson Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 The Frabill Crayfish trap will do the trick on Bullheads and Stonecats, and Watterdogs too if there in the area.They have an adjustable gate, similar to a crab trap. That way you can adjust the gate to somewhat determine the size of the Bullheads you wish.You will get bonus crayfish as due to they like the baits as well as the Bullies do. The Bullies like the crawdads too.Raw bacon is good, fish parts, big wad of funky Nightcrawlers, even fatty cow tallow will draw in Bullies...and the craws.

Lowblazah Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I would go with a lake vs the river. You will have to get creative on where you put it and how you hide your line tethered to it so no one notices it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownie77 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Ed, you can not use the square crawdad traps can you? The regs say a cylinder type minnow trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
