bullheads

[Mac Attack]

The nights I've been out when it was 50 and no wind I hear them. I keep my house at 60° all winter. I guess warm to me is different than the old folks who live in Florida half the year. Lol

Yup - 50 or 60 is definitely not a warm night.

Also, I don't (and won't) live in Florida half the year.

But in 6 months I will be living there all year.

Mac Attack, wherein FL are you thinking?

Use some squid, it will stay on the hook most of the night, but more importantly, put some glow beads on the hook, often you won't even need bait...

  I'll have to try them if I can find them, maybe price chopper ?  I looked in Stewarts worms were $3.50 a dozen  NOT ME !  I may have to suck it up and pick some with my old tired back. I just wish we could get some decent weather.  A nice calm nite in the 50"s and I'll drag the boat out.

With the squid don't thaw more than one to cut up as you may find just one strip will last most of the night. Do not forget them in your car or boat or you will be very sorry...

  going to give them a try  seems like they'll be so much easier than dealing with dirty crawlers

one more deserter from NY eh. lol  that state and city are going to be a ghost town before long!  mass numbers of people moving away from the failed leadership and policies!  unfortunately those people take their thinking to other states/cities and infect them like a cancer!  Florida should screen the people they let move there or that freedom will disappear there too.

bullheads will eat anything. best i have found is danny kings punch bait blood flavor.  they smell that from a loooooong ways away.  chicken skin another tough alternative to worms.  and dont forget the chum!

[filetandrelease]

 Turkey skin brined and scented is another option for bait
 Road kill or fish guts in a burlap bag or bucket with holes will also help draw them in ,

When I was a kid, they would sink a cow's head...

my father would sink a burlap bag of chicken guts with a rope and pull it in when he was fishing. We caught a bunch !

Ivory soap wrks as all round fish attractant.

[62 & Done]

Not so sure I'd want to be throwing soap in the water. I guess I'll stick with bait on a hook and hope for the best.  Gonna try squid, maybe tomorrow

we used to do the same, but with dog food, in the Catt when we fished for kitties.
We used small canvas parts cinch sacks.
Put a few chucks of dog food in one, add a few rocks, tie t up and toss them out.
The canvas rots over time, so no pollution.
We would toss them upstream about 50 yds from where we fished.

I was thinking about trying to hit beaver island for some bullhead and perch. I’ve never really fished it before, but have a ton of crawlers Ready to be used. where’s the best place to find fish and minnows? In the marina or in that gully?
Thanks in advance.
Tight lines
