I Wonder If This Would Work For Bullheads?

[Shack]

Anyone else slap the water when they seine?

[DTro]

No need to slap in the waters I've seined. Could've used all those guys to help lift the seine though. Several hundred bullheads can be heavy.

I didn't know people looked for "tricks of the trade" to catching/netting bullheads. I was always trying to find ways not to catch them....

I do not slap the water while seining, but I do make sure to wear a speedo

[riverrat56]

That carp slime is still on the jacket too!

Bullheads do taste good, so good infact, that if you want them you can have every single one I catch this year!

[BuckKiller]

id gladly take them

WoW I can't believe everyone left the dude in the speedo alone. I might have to bring up the form on what we were going to use as a controlled item. That guy wearing the speedo is what we would have looked like if we went with the KOTC speedo

You might not have a grasp on the number of bullheads that make their way into my boat in year Remeber I fish on the famed bullhead waters of Southern Minnesota, including but not limited to; Hanska, Tetonka, Sakata, Washington, and for the occasional trophy bullhead, Sarah.

Get those skinnin pliers ready!

Ya, that was a "kind of" funny I was going after I had to switch the video though. After putting it up I did not notice they had annotations edited their web address into the upper left hand corner Same guys and pond now, but Mr. Speedo is gone

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

That was the first thing that I picked up on.

If you watch how they are pulling the seine you can see why they are slapping the water. The seine itself looks like about a 25' seine and the guys nearest the camera are slapping the water trying to chase bait into the area of the seine. Usually with a short seine like that unless you go fast bait will swim out of the area before you can catch them. Slapping the water chases them into the seine and the noise and confusion will keep them there until you net them.

Slapping the water works great for spawning shad.
