Brownie77 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I have 100+ small bullheads in the 2-5" range, will these work for Channels? Also I know we can not sell minnows, but can we trade them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBuck Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 They should work just fine. The walleyes have been hammering those smaller bullies lately as well....always a nice bonus. Trading is completely fair game. Are you looking to trade for anything specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a scissors and just cut off the head right behind the gill plate and snip off the tail and you have a perfect hunk of cut bait. I use about a 5/0 circle hook and just hook on the cut chunk leaving as much of the hook exposed as possible. This hunk of cut bait leaves a good scent trail - every 15 to 20 minutes replace the chunk with a fresh one to keep the scent trail going. If you don't have a hit within about 5 to 10 minutes move the bait around in the area you are fishing. Sometimes moving the bait just a few feet right or left can trigger a hit.

I figured if I could trade for soem traps or something along those lines it would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
