Location: Dixon, IL | I am not sure if bullhead as bait for musky is allow in Wisconsin? I know that Illinois is allow is only catch bullhead or bluegill for bait on the same water. Certificate baitshops to sell suckers as bait to catch muskies. Illinois also do not want fishermen dump left over fish in any water......so i guess that mean any left baits to throw out in the woods for animals or birds to eat!

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Northern pike make a superb quick striked morsal as well on waters that have them. In fact some lakes it is the best option, even over suckers. It's almost as if the fish hates the northerns!
Ranger, props for trying out the bullheads. I have thought of doing the same, but decided I didn't want to take the time to catch them. Try running the bullheads closer to the bottom. I know when I run suckers most times I have my success within 2' of the bottom. If I am higher than that nada. So, you constantly have to re-adjust your depth, but it can be worth the extra work.
I am interested to see if this pans out for you! |
