Monster Bullheads !! Citation Bullhead Catfish Caught in North Carolina

Monster Bullhead Catfish !  

One of my favorite fish to catch is the Bullhead.  They are usually pretty abundant and easy (sometimes not) to catch.   One of my favorite places to catch them is within walking distance of my house and on this day back in the summer of 2020 I caught some really nice ones on small pieces of Shad. 

My Favorite bait for them is worms or Night Crawlers followed by small pieces of cutbait then maybe small pieces of hotdogs or Bar-b-Q  Vienna's work well .

Rods and reels can be anything that you catch  Bream and Crappie on and I usually fish for them using a Cork with a   1/0 hook and a small split shot just above the hook a few inches. Usually the hook is anywhere from 1 to 2' below the cork.   They also  can be caught on bottom using a Carolina rig.

Hope you enjoy the video.

A Brown Bullhead?

Another Black

No Carp today but is was actually a BLAST.    Today's outing took me back to my younger years when I lived Right on the Haw River and we caught loads of Bullheads.  I will Hopefully hit this spot again before the end of summer to connect with one of this lakes many monster Carp.
