Ice fishing for bullheads

There is a couple articles online try doing a google search ice fishing for bullheads. It seems very late ice in shallow muddy bottoms. Using small crappie minnows.

I guess you could target a lake that only had bullheads in it as well? I know a couple in the metro like that, I think that would be the best start at least you knew when you marked fish it would positively be a bullhead. Then you could apply where you found them on those lakes to others.
