Warm rains predicted for early next week. That always turns the bullheads on.

Warm rain and a nice wind bliwing in your face is always a good for a bucket of bullheads also hasnt failed me yet

the causeway a good place to try or would down by the dam be better? i usually bullhead lake delta i grew up there as a kid but thats a 2 hour drive for me as i moved to marcellus so trying to learn more about otisco did pretty well there ice fishing buddy got a almost 7 pound walleye and landed a 42 inch musky during the summer

Ive done better at the causeway, I think the water warms up faster there on the pond side

Fished from the causeway on Good Friday, hoping to catch a Brown. Caught a Tigermuskie on a small stickbait instead. My first Tiger. We didn't get a tape on him since we had him out of the water too long removing the hooks. I estimated him at about 30 inches as I released him and he swam away. The strange thing is that he didn't put up much more of a fight than an average sized walleye would have. Could this be due to the water temp. being so cold? I thought that they would fight hard regardless of the water temp. Had a few bites on crawlers but nothing worth mentioning.

I've noticed with pike/tigers that the smaller the fish, the harder the fight. All the bigger fish, especially tigers, are like logs. Ice fishing, tigers seem to be dead weight until they see the whole, then they make a run. I guess for me it's been hit or miss. But the smaller fish seem to fight harder and have more energy than the older lazy ones.

Yes it has to  do with water temp.....catch a bunch of those smalll 30" tigers when the water temp is around 80 and they will  make you look silly!
