Need some Serious Help with Catching a Bullhead

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Alright going fishing in a few and picking up trash people have thrown into the lake too. Depends on how many people are at the lake today, I might go around closer to the beginning of the lake. Should be a decent crowd today because of the temps.

I have bought 75 trout worms, catfish chicken liver dough bait, mealworms, cooked and peeled shrimp and super worms. I only have one reel and maybe this limits my catching ability too. I know my catfish almost relishes the superworms.
 
Usually in lakes where bullheads reside, they can become a nuisance and can be caught while fishing for bluegill. Idk for sure that is just how it is where I have fished. Any of the bait mentioned should work, if not then you might have to wait until the water warms up a bit.
 
Well, I did not catch a catfish however, a guy caught one for me, it's 12 inches also. He said they are in larger numbers in the secluded area. I told I would give him 3 containers of trout worms. He only took one. He did advise me not to go to the secluded area by myself. He said I should only go with another person.
 
That's a shame you can't even fish by yourself where your at. Congrats on the bull Need pics
 
Yooper call it being too cautious, I call it being safer. Not matter where you live, people are missing and never found or most found dead.

In Georgia, a women and her dog were running through wood trails like they did regularly in a National Park. Well she came across a man(significantly older than her, 50s-60s) and his smaller dog, spoke and talked for a short bit, then proceeded ahead. He followed her and they found her in a Quik-Trip dumpster. You would have to find the story yourself because it's not as clean as I put it.

After reading a book about people disappearing and how they died, changed me. All of the cases were true and not glorified. My Mother told me all the time, don't stay out working and go shopping at and all night. I would work all day and night and when I finished, would go to the store and pick up what I needed.

I have changed most of my habits. When I would go and take care of my Mother, I would go after I got off. I had a feeling that something was not right after I got out of the car. I would not question this and found something to defend myself with, nothing happened. One 2 more occasions, the same feeling happened again, a male neighbor across the street was watching me, he was hiding behind a car and a tree, when I would spot him. Later found out that he raped a women in some woods at gun point.

My Mother said something to me, that I blew off. After reading the book and reading what a detective said women should do to protect themselves and some of the tactics that are used by stalkers, etc...I really paid attention to what my Mother said. "You don't think anything can happen to you, well the all the other people didn't think it either. They didn't know that was their last day, week or months of the life. Just because someone snatches you, doesn't mean they will let you go or kill you then. Some people in this world, wish the person would kill them, but instead they are kept for days, months and years to be tortured and what ever else the nut wants to do!!!!" "Not all killers look and act crazy and many are not caught. "
 
chicken livers- left out in the sun for an afternoon
 
I'm a vet and an ex LEO (prior to college) so your not telling me nothing I have not seen unfortunately. Try not to let it drive your life
 
I hate to say it but its better safe then sorry, our world is turning into a horrbile place, although where im from I don't have to worry about alot of stuff like city things...
 
my best suggestion would be to fish a night crawler over a muddy bottom about midnight. It has always worked really well for me.
