10 inch bullheads

[Gordie]

I was talking with shack on this and I think I heard or read someplace that a Flathead will eat 30 percent own weight in food. So that means a 30 pound fish with eat 10 pound of baitfish/etc to fill up untikl the next timwe it feeds. I know that it would be easy for a big flat to consume a 1 or 2 pound sucker/carp what have you but I think that when they are feeding they will just eat until they reach that full mark. I also belive that they will not pass up a easy meal so if a 30 pound cat ate a 10 pound carp and on its way back to its resting plaace it happens to come a across a 4 inch bullie struggling on a hook it will eat it up.

just myt thoughts.

I used to think those big flats would posittion them selfs so they wouldnt have to work so hard at eating a meal but I not so sure that this is always the case. anyhow I still like big bait but I have know problem hooking a small bullie up anymore

Yeah it's true...all my bigger fish are not caught on big bait. Usually it's the opposite...small fish on big bait.

You can start using 0-10 inchers on August 9 (unless you are north of Hwy 210, but there aren't any flats up there anyway)

Sweeeet!

[TruthWalleyes]

Awesome!

[DARK30]

NOW I can get one of those glow in the dark rods!

[Jeffreyyy]

now those bullheads that have been stealing my sucker minnows all year long can finally go right into the bait bucket. im gonna stick with 10"

[twostroke]

So I take it that the bill pass and it will be legal to use up to a 10" bullhead? When did the bill pass?

[Scott M]

Emergency rule process is going through next Monday, then one week later they're "street legal"

[Jeffreyyy]

[Scott K]

Sure wish we can use 12 inch bullheads

[harvey lee]

10 is large enough Scott. Heck my clicker will go with anything larger.

[bchevycaprice]

no it should be 14 darn it

[cowboybiker]

now that moore's bait is no longer, does anyone know of a good "non-infested" lake or creek to catch bullheads in prior lake or jordan area?

[DTro]

I sure don't, in fact I drove almost an hour to catch some on Wednesday.

[Gordie]

good luck when you find one would you please let us all know

Can you use bullheads caught from the MN river? Found a creek flowing into the river with lots of bullheads. We caught one after another off a jig and crawler. I ended up using those for bait that night rather than the suckers I bought. If I would have had some sort of contraption set up to bring them home I would have. They were all nice lively guys and the perfect size.

Yes.
