I dont care what anybody says…….find a pond overrun with bullheads, throw some bread on the surface and try to net them when they swarm. Try to keep the ones between 6 and 8 inches. When its time to go fishing, put them in ALOT of ice. This makes them stop moving so you can stick your hand in the bucket and grab one. Cut off the spines with a needle nose pliers or a wire cutter, then put a 5/0 circle hook through the tail…..put a large weight about 2 feet up, throw out and wait. Bullheads live through everything. Chubs and suckers are much too sensitive and just arent hardy enough for me. Me and my buddy caught between 20 and 30 big flatheads last season (from 10 to 45 lbs), and they were all on bullheads…..need I say more??
