10 inch bullheads

[DTro]

I would like to see any updates on the 10" rule. I haven't seen anything official yet.

I have read that the proposed amount to have in possession of 7-10" is 100 (different than the possession limit of 7" and under, which are still considered minnnows).

Howellcanufish, I would appreciate any udpates you can find.

Thanks

Sorry to interrupt the bickering, but has it been official that we can use bigger bullies. If so whats the max size 10 or 12.

haha

It would be nice to use all the "live cut bait >7"" in my bait tank.

If and when it changes it will be 10" and no greater.

I spoke with Kathy the other day who owns Winkler Bait Farm....picked up some bullheads and she said she had received a letter stating the new bullhead rule....she said she would try and dig it up so the next time im out i can look it over and possibly make a copy....will keep you updated.

[DTro]

well alright!!

[Scott K]

Sounds good to me!

[howellcanufish]

That's who told me about it too. I just stopped by the baitshop again today and read the letter that she had. Still have to keep them under 7" for now...all it was is a proposal for up to 10" bullies.

The 10" bullhead roller coaster steams ahead

[blakeb]

lets just hope it doesnt go off the rail

[hanson]

Now if we could just use Bluegills up to 10".

Man do I have a couple spots where I can [PoorWordUsage] pound the 10 inchers, up to 11" even.

Thank God we ain't talking crappies here I'd have to convince the state that a 17" should be legal bait cause I'm waist deep in them.

[nsnutter]

Yeah my bullhead source has a bunch of nice green sunnies too, make some perfect flat bait or even cutbait ...

Now thats funny right there

good thing this ten inch rule is coming aboard because my ruler for bullies goes ...5....6....7....7....7...7...7 so they all must be 7

[nsnutter]

Haha think your ruler is broken, Gordie! Ah well ... not your fault right

[nsnutter]

Yeah Shack, reminds me of this guy I knew once who cut up his fairy godmother for channels ... Sad sad story

[Shack]

I was told from a firm MN "river rat" source that a wizards big toe hooked onto a 10/0 octi J makes the 70lb "er's" jump in the boat.

We all know that the regs on using wizard parts as bait:

when angling for trout, crappie, sunfish, and rock bass.

• Anglers may use only one line during the open water season and two

through the ice (other than on designated trout lakes and streams) unless

otherwise noted.

• Using whole or parts of wizards, game fish, goldfish, or carp for bait is unlawful.

• You may not intentionally fish for any species during its closed season.

• Angling with an unattended line, a setline, or a trotline is unlawful.

• Using an artificial light to lure or attract fish is unlawful. Exception: While

angling, a person may affix to the end of a fishing line a lighted artificial

bait with hooks attached. Any battery that is used in lighted fishing lures

must not contain mercury.

But I know for a fact that as we speak there are several "hi- brow" catfisherman on the Minnesota using wizard parts as bait for flatheads. I will see if I can locate some incriminating pictures. None will be of me because my wizard hole dried up last year.

To Be Continued:

[rushing]

I would never use my toe for bait!

hmmm, I beg to differ

It's fun to look at DNR Lake surveys before and after the introduction of Muskies. The bullhead population takes a serious dive. So cats aren't the only ones craving the bull.

So you're saying this is isn't legal now? What next?
