Bullheads for sale in the metro again

[bobbymalone]

I have it on good authority that the Clark gas station / bait shop at Old Shakopee & 77 (Cedar) in Bloomington has filled the bullhead vacuum created by the demise of Moore's bait shop.

[pureinsanity]

Prior Lake bait and tackle is thinking about selling them as well

[mrklean]

what do those guys charge for bullheads are they priced similar to suckers or chubs?

There has been some talk of this. Are you able to confirm at this time?

Cost for bullies seemed to vary with supply and demand. Typically do not cost as much for suckers and chubs. I recall hearing of prices creeping up over $1.00 when they were in short supply.

My catfishing buddy / cousin saw it with his own eyes last week and told me during easter dinner. He said the bullheads were running a bit small though.

Do you want a picture and a copy of my cousin's long form birth certificate?

I shoot past there on the way home from work, I'll stop in and look at what they are going for. I think I paid a buck and a quarter when I bought them at Moore's.

Think of how much beer you could buy if you had a spot to catch your own bait.

That is a lot of beer you could have bought instead of spending it on the fine you just got issued for selling bait with out a license

[Boker001]

I was talking about catching it for personal use. Dozen bullies at $1.25/each is a case of good beer.

[SkitterPopper]

I am not so sure that $15 is going to buy you a case of "good beer".

I think that is the why most the people that fish for catfish catch their own bait

maybe not so much for the beer but more so gas money for the boat?

[Scott K]

LOL, if I had to buy all of my bait for a $1.25 each, I would have to sell my house! From May through June, I will have a minimum of 2 dozen for each person in the boat a night( usually 2 people), and I have ran out with that. I fish 5-7 nights a week. Um, rough estimate for a month, is more then my house payment!

Just stopped on the way home from work and they do have bullheads. $5 a dozen, didn't have a chance to see what size they were though. Cashiers were busy and they were not in the tanks with the rest of the minnows.

[bobbymalone]

I think if I was going through hundreds of bullheads a week, I would think about setting up a bait tank in the garage and harvesting my own.

It's nice to have the option to just buy the dang things for those of us that don't have the time or space for a bait tank though.

Come Friday night on the way home from work, I'm thinking about getting to the launch ASAP, not about bullhead hunting.

[Scott K]

bobby, I agree with you 100%! I do have my own tank, and I usually spend 1 day a week replenishing it. Come 530, end of my work day, I dont want to think about where I need to go to get bait, I want it in my tank, and just scoop up what I need, and be off. Unfortunately, my supply, doent always keep up with my demand, and I too have to buy them once in a while. Good thing, I know someone that has a tank, and stocks them, and fishes my neighborhood rather often. And delivers to me, if not, its a 15 minute drive.

[dan z]

there is a wholesaler just on the outside of town here that sells them for 80c each I usually give a tip when I buy from them love there service and prices!

[DTro]

$5 a doz is a GREAT deal and if kept at that price should do some good business.

Thanks for the update.

[BronzeBrother]

What is the average or desired sizes you guys are looking for with bullheads?

[DTro]

7-10

[BronzeBrother]

Ok thanks...

[dan z]

not sure but my ruler for some reason my ruler reads 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10-10-10-10-10

[DARK30]

I'll take $20 a dozen

We've seen the long form...Now its time for someone to "cough up" the last ten years of tax returns.... let see where that one goes.

[PierBridge]

I stopped in a checked out there current inventory. They are mostly 2-3"s with the biggest being about 7 and I only saw 1 or 2 of those. I talked with the kid working there for a bit and told him it might be good idea to get some bigger one's if possible. I filled him in on the legal length limit and few others things so hopefully the next batch when we actually need some will be a bit bigger.

[Judge Smails]

Clark station on Old Shakopee- $5/ dz for smalls (2-4ish) 1$ a piece for anything bigger. Ouch.
