I need some of your bullhead hot spots, please

[D-Rocker311]

Could you all give me some of your known bullhead hot spots in the twin cities? I'm collecting them for this up-coming catfish season. I will take GPS coordinates. Thanks!!!

freemont in zimmerman east side small bay

LOL! Bait spots are almost more sacred than cat spots.

[bobbymalone]

Only to cat dudes. I doubt Mr. Walleye gives a carp if you know about the neighborhood pond down the street that is choked with bullies.

But yeah, I'm not telling

[Grum]

Go to Lone Lake off of shady oak road. Used to be full of them.

[hovermn]

Isn't Como lake in St. Paul full of Bullies? At least it was when I was a kid.

[bobbymalone]

pretty sure como is off limits

remember if a lake is infested with milfoil you can't harvest bait from that lake and use it in another body of water.

Growing up as a kid the pond by the St. Louis Park Jr. High was full of small bullhead. There's a brick utility house we fished near, and you could catch them all day long.

Haven't fished it in years, but I would imagine they're still there. Might be worth a short as it's not too far from your listed location.

Like Bobby says, good like finding one that you can transport bait/water from legally.

The spots are getting fewer and fewer....

[mainbutter]

only spot i know that i can legally take 'em from doesn't even have a big population of them, I'm lucky to bring in three or four in an outing. It has a HUGE relative population of stunted panfish (2-3''ers), now if only it were legal to use THEM as bait!

[brian6715]

45 minutes south the cannon river under the woolen mills dam is loaded with them. You can barely cast towards the dam without snagging one.

My guess is that it wouldn't be legal, it's probably infested... I am too lazy to look though

[mainbutter]

Cannon is infested.

So now I'm wondering what the DNR would say about taking bullheads from anywhere on the chain of lakes and Minnehaha creek to use in the Mississippi.

Starting at Minnetonka, the Minnehaha Creek and every lake all the way to the river and the river itself is infested. It's all connected, so would they consider it legal or not?

I may just have to call them and ask unless someone here already has.

[DTro]

The simplest answer is that if it's listed in the reg book as infested, then it's off limits and vice versa.

[Joe's Kid]

Yeah,I suppose you're right.

Maybe I could herd them downstream, over the falls, to the river,get them to jump in a bucket...

In some circles, I am known as "The Bullhead Whisperer".

[mrklean]

another reason to make pan fish leagl bait no shortage anywhere and and it might actually help out a lake taking a few of them out

Farquar lake has a strong population of bullheads. Last Summer we couldn't keep them off our lines. The lengths were anywhere from 4 inches all the way up to between 10 to 12 inches with the median length being the most common size. Don't know if this lake has any infestation issues though. This lake is in Dakota County off of Pilot Knob Road just North of Cty Rd 42. There is a small park with a small fishing pier where we catch them.

[BronzeBrother]

Just looked at Farquar lake on the DNR HSOforum and it appears to be clear of any type of infestations advisories that I could find. So happy bullin' times for you cat guys. I can even start keeping some when we go there for you guys if wanted. My Kids like catching them. I can just start bringing a bucket with to keep them alive. Let me know.

[D-Rocker311]

Yeah, toss them in a bucket. My email is [email protected] let me know when I can pick them up.

Copy will do.

i found an awesome bullhead spot right on Virginia Tech's campus today... no restrictions on bullhead size or transporting them either

looks like I might be doing some damage this summer!
