I have heard of some fishing, but have not been.

There have been some spurts of activity in Sodus and Port Bay, but no "big" run yet. If you go, you'll catch some, but probably not a ton. Perhaps with the rain forecast for early next week they'll come out in numbers.

A week or so ago at the south end of Irondequoit Bay people were doing rather well on bullheads...One of the guys I know caught 75 one day...Not sure how its been lately...

My brother-in-law took his kids out @ little salmon river for "meow meows" two nights ago and got 74. He said that 80% were doubles, kids never got bored!!!!

What the.... 75+ in a night? I never knew.... I'd like to see pics of this. What's a good sized one? I've pulled channels out of I-Bay in the 20+" range but haven't honestly ever targeted bullhead or channel cats... Sounds like a good time! Anyone have an open seat or need one? Is this a night-time, lantern over the edge with worms or more complicated than that?

I'm with you Sindale ! I would love to hear how to catch them!

[Finders Keepers]

Catchin' bully's is pretty easy and a blast when they're running heavy! All you have to do is tie a heavy sinker on the end of the line, then attach two single hooks each about a foot above the other. Bait up some worms, cast it out, tighten your line so that the rod tip just bends, and then wait for a nibble. Best time is at night using a lantern, but if you can get up in the swamps when they're running heavy, you can catch them any time of the day. My best night was several years ago when I boated 200+ of them in a night by myself!! There were so many of them the water looked like it was boiling! I only had 3 empty buckets with me that night, and when they got full the rest were flopping around the bottom of the boat! I ended up with like 8 buckets full!!

There should be a few out tonight with the warm weather and bright sun, but the main show will be later this week after the rain comes in. Get the gear ready because the run is about to happen I think!! I'll be out tonight to see what's brewing in the swamp...

Went out last night by the public boat launch in Sandy creek. Cought a rock bass no bullies. Hopefully the rain will wake them up!!!

[Finders Keepers]

Made a night of it last night as it was BEAUTIFUL out there! I love the warm nights with the peepers chirping to a deafening level! Anyway, I was up the swamp from 8pm until around 3am and managed a slow pick at 'em. Ended up with 16 lbs of bullhead. Not too shabby, but by no means a stellar night. I also hooked into a beaver , but luckily for me the hook came free before I got it to the boat! Now it's time to rest up and hope we get a decent rain this week - if we do, it'll be GAME ON!!

Lots of people fishing them at Fairhaven State Park, not sure how the bite was.
