bullhead fishinf Questions

Any lakes near Harris for some good old bullhead fishing? Is it to early yet?

[blakeb]

It is not to early, I find that they are too hard to target in a lake look for some little tiny pond that looks like it may have no fish in it, you should find a bully with in 5 minutes, or leave it alone, find the next prospect.

Oh yeah, they're out and about man ... just gotta find the right lake or pond for 'em. Blake's advice about finding a smaller pond or lake is good advice, although you can have measurably good success if you know a certain lake well, or ask around ... people fishing on lakes (especially kids) will be able to tell you if bullies are in that lake, and/or where they're at.

If you don't mind me askin, why are you targeting bullies? For flathead bait, or for the dinner table?

for the table my 81 year Mother cant wait! Thanks guys.

Not a problem Charlie. Keep in mind that for the most part, if you catch one, you will catch more. If you don't catch one promptly, chances are that you should try elsewhere. Best of luck to ya!

The sunrise river isn't that far from harris. I used to catch bullheads below the north, south, and kost dams left and right. Fishing turned bad, so I haven't been there in years...maybe they've all come back?
