can this happen

[nitefisher]

can bullheads run carp out of there spawning grounds? one day there spawning like crazy the next day you catch a few but thousands of bullheads around. the water is about 4 feet deep but full of bullheads.

that sounds reasonable. I catch ALOT of catfish in 2-3 feet of water when the carp are in there spawning. I can't imagine bullheads wouldn't do the same thing. I just assumed they are in there to eat the eggs....

thats true, i just ain't ever see it happen so fast before. yesterday we got 23 carp 5 cats 5 sheephead. today 4 carp 1 cat 1 sheephead. tons of bullheads, just over night.

I dont know, carps are soo much bigger than bullheads...

after the bullheads moved in they never left and the carp never came back.
