Need Bullheads for bait? Search no further!


Recommended Posts

Yeah if the culvert drain bed is dry then the bullheads are gone, or died off on the bed. Just wait for the next rain storm. They should reappear as long as the water flows through the culvert into Clear Lake. grin.gif

The purpose of why I created this thread was to inform Anglers of the opportunity to obtain bait for their own use, not to create debacle. Good fishing!

7 inch max lenght are minnows, possission limit 12 dozen I believe!Unless a commerical lisence is held then its more but for me 244 minnows is more than enough.


Limit on minnows or leeches is 24 dozen, or 288, actually. From the regs:

A DNR permit* is required to possess more than 24 dozen minnows or leeches; to sell, export or import; or to take minnows or leeches from designated trout waters.

The strange thing is that there is a 100 limit on bullheads, but if they are under 7 inches they are considered a minnow. So I guess someone could legally have 100 bullheads over 7 inches and 288 bullheads under 7 inches for a total of 388 bullheads which is in fact, a lot of bullheads. smirk.gifsmile.gif

Lotsofish,

You are correct, but do not get caught with one over 7" on your line. I do not know what the fines or punishment is, but I do know it is not legal.

How can I keep the ones larger than 7" from biting, then?

(Sorry, I just had to go there.)

When you have 10/0 hook threw the lower jaw, I would assume this is in violation. Now if you have 1/0 hook with crawler and bully on it, this would be legal. I do not really know, but it has been brought up before when catching them for bait. Why can I have one on my hook catching, when I can not have one on for bait? Like Hanson said, the laws could possibly change soon and would clear this confusion.

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.

      Charcoal Briquettes are great for low and slow cooking as they produce long-lasting heat. Lump Charcoal burns hotter and adds more flavour to your food; therefore is great for hot and fast cooking.
