Check my post above....went yesterday on the river near Cayuga lake. Caught a good mess...some on shrimp...mostly worms...good luck.

Hit my favorite pond this evening. Pretty slow yet. Water is really cold there. But it's a dozen more than I had.

It'll only get better.

pond bullheads are the best tasting to me  and a doz is a good meal for 2 people

Yeah Trappwr, these guys are only 12" or so and some a bit smaller. But, man they taste so much better that those big old lake bullheads.

bullheads can be great just like ANY trout or salmon
cook them all slow next to a fire on a tire
throw the fish away and eat the tire
haha

I guess you remember that I don't care for trouts.

One thing I always do with bullhead is keep them in a cooler of fresh water for a couple days before cleaning them. I change the water 5 or 6 times. Kind of flushing them out a little. I think it makes them taste way better.

I do the same thing....it's amazing to see the water after just one day...the stuff that comes out of them.....having said that...if I have any that swallowed the hook I clean them right away and eat them that night and have to say..they're still pretty darn good. Only eat river bullhead....much better than the lake/bay's bullhead.

Sorry guys. I just don’t like them. A lot better eating fish out there.

[bootstrap]

[trapper2000]

and I guess everyone has different taste ......I don't like bullheads all the time but  I really enjoyed these  and RG is right smaller  ones  really are a lot better  I have  a 100 gal cooler i'll toss the next batch in for a few days 

I want some  for the  BBQ too
 

steak taste  better then burger but  sometimes I just want a good greasy burger off the  grill

I have not gone in a long time but people who don't like them usually it's because they ate summer fish not cold water spring fish
