Kyle Sandberg Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 got a small lake by my house loaded with bullies. Best choice would be a glob of worms about six inches of the bottom or a minnow also works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishin Beast Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Just about any live bait you can think of.The best is just leaving a night crawler near the bottom and wait for them to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PierBridge Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 My personal preference in order while trying to catch bullies "Flathead Bait" is Leeches, worms, corn, minnows. People say why waste leeches on bullheads, I do it because 1- they love them 2- they stay on your hook well and I often catch 6-10 bullies per Leech. Night Crawlers probably work best but they are such mess to handle. One thing your going to want to do is pinch the barbs on your hooks and jigs this will help immensely in getting the hook out, I like to set the hook right away you may miss a few but this avoids the dreaded gut hook which ruins the Bait/food/fish..... Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metroguy99 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 yellow jig head and a piece of corn on the bottom always works for me, plus you sometimes get the added fun of catching a carp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Also, I like using a pretty good sized floating jig head. It helps to keep them from swallowing the hook. As for bait, I'm with Pierbridge, but I'm much better at catching bullies than him. Just ask him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgreen82 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 almost anything. if i dont have worms or leeches i go to the cupboard. corn 1st, hot dogs 2nd, marshmallows 3rd. the list is long. but tops will always be half a nightcrawler. i actually have been bullhead fishing 3 days straight. do you guys just fish them for bait, or enjoy catching them like me.

Ralph Wiggum Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I've eaten them. They're good. But now, I fish them for bait, but I really don't mind catching them. It's usually fast and furious action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidCoast Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 From my experience, if the lake is loaded with bullheads, even crappie jigs works in catching them... Im serious!!! I know this one lake, and it is LOADED with bullheads.... ALl i use is crappie jigs and i still catch em... Yes, i know they usually uses their smell senses, but some how, for this particular lake, i still catch em on crappie jigs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
