Bullhead if I was been a favorite pain fish for me when I can find them. Where I fish nowadays, I haven’t seen any. But a few years ago I caught a huge one in a pond in Aiken, South Carolina. That thing would hardly fit in a 5 gallon bucket

I know better John just haven't dealt with many bullheads lately.and when the kid yanked on the rod i was moreworried about the hook.We used to eat bullheads when i was a kid and yes they just love worms,we used to cut the worms into 1inch or so pieces.The cut worms seemed to work better.Scent?I had a couple spots like you describe with water flowing in that you could catch them at will.I even caught a couple on a flyrod last summer,like seeing old friends.I don't know why they disappeared around here but seems like they are back.And thanks,the annual trip is a good time.There used to be around 40 of us,down to about 25 now as the old guys that started the trip are passing on.It is almost like Jeffrey Abney  abundance  of crappies.Locally i might catch 3 or 4 crappies on an outing.Where we go once you find them you can catch a few dozen in an hour.,

Yes, those spiny fins (Three of them) are there to watch out for. I have a careful 3 finger grip that serves me. I still have to play Guitar and don't want a Bullhead interfering with that. The Bheads were at the same spot today and hitting worms on Float Rigs and Bottom rigs.

I have a good Buddy that has a small pond on his property in NY state near the town of Catskill NY. He knows little about the life in the pond, and I am trying to initiate an experimental stocking of Brown Bullheads in his pond. Because of the tolerance for low Oxygen Levels and Omnivorous diet I am thinking there is a chance for survival and hopefully to thrive. Additionally, Predation by other fish and coexisting species is only a realistic threat to bullheads under four inches,

Feature Fish today. The feisty Brown Bullhead.  Brown bullhead - Wikipedia   Two Dorsal Fins? How about One Dorsal and an Adipose Fin.

The Brown Bullheads were in Bloom today after a full day of rain yesterday and  heavy rain through the early morning hours. Opening Day of Yankees Baseball coincided with 7 BHeads caught(an 8th dropped at my feet ), using Floated Jig tipped with Crawler pieces. Reacheable from sure by an inflow Pipe. 1st/2nd week of April has proved itself when the action starts up here in NENJ.

Welcome Mikey -Thanks for the orientation regarding your waters! I know we usually talk Pickerel and Crappie but we can expand to other species here. Glad you're here!
