How large are these bullheads?
anyone hit up BBL this last weekend? thinking of going up this coming weekend. any help/tips appreciated. PM's welcome.
all i saw was tons of boats and shoreline fishermen near the northshore damn last week.
Did you do any fishing? Any luck
4 Years ago when I last fished BBL the normal size was about 10". Keep in mind though, these fish are fat so a 10" is close to a pound (probably exaggerating). They love Nightcrawlers so I'd suggest getting a few boxes of those. Also, use a circle hook or a very long J hook as these fish are beyond greedy and will inhale the hook.

i got to the bait shop around 5 and fish from 5:30 to 7. I had one trout close to shoreline but got off. didn't bring a net:(. Anyways, I couldn't get to the northshore damn area because i don't think with my health i can climb down the enbankment. the bait shop told me people catching there trout limit at the northshore. But it has been tough if you shoreline fish considering no one around me had a bite in 3 hours i was there.
i usually check the fishing report before i go because it gets expensive with gas.

Thanks. I checked his report before I posted hoping for more on here.
Hope the fishing turns around by this weekend.
It will be nice to get out of the desert into some cooler air.
They have the "Fishing for 50K Derby" going on this weekend.
I was up there the last 2 Saturdays, this past Saturday was pretty good. We caught 5 trout and a crappie trolling, we were out on the lake for about 4 1/2 hours. When we were out 2 weeks ago, my oldest son as soon as he got his line 2 colors out he hooked onto a carp that was probably 10 or 12 pounds, he was using a Rapala and it had snagged an old line and hook that the carp had in his mouth. About 10 minutes later my youngest son had a small catfish hit a Thomas Buoyant while trolling. We trolled around for another couple of hour and didn't get any hits, until we we're bringing our lines in, to head for the launch ramp, and my oldest had a nice trout hit his Rapala.
Thank you for sharing.
I saw the 50k derby. I'm going to do it since ill be up there with my daughter and my buddy.
I love Thomas boyants but not for trolling. Very Slow retrieve is what I found out works for me.
BBL is tricky trolling. I've had good luck 3-4 colors using needle fish. Not sure I want to go deep or shallow now.
Sounds like I need to do some experimenting. Might try drifting if trolling fails.
I made some secret trolling weapons over the weekend so I can't wait to try them out.
We will be fishing in the 50k. Derby also, my oldest son did really good in it last year. He caught 1 of the tagged trout and walked away with 500 bucks and some new fishing gear.
