Used chicken liver for catfish in our Kansas ponds worms seemed to catch more bullheads and liver was better for Chanles. Don't know why?

Save yourself a headache and get beef liver if your wanna use liver. Other wise learn to tie a eggloop knot

Night crawlers worked better for me.

I fish for bullheads a bunch off my dock during the cool summer nights. My two go to baits are night crawlers that I hit with an air needle, to get them up out of the bottom grass. Second is 3 to 4 inch salted minnows, Toss up which is better. Salted minnows are also deadly on trout in the river and creeks at my cabin. Non Iodized salt only...

Night crawlers and or leeches for bullheads. leeches last longer than night crawlers on hook.

If you have access to some clams, try letting some clam guts ferment in a glass jar in the sun for awhile, wrap them in cheese cloth bundles and they work great for catfish. Probly bullheads too. I did that at Ft Gordon GA in some military ponds and mopped up on catfish on trotlines. laugh
I'm sure store bought ones would work too but expensive.

My Grandpa loved fishing bullheads and took me with when I was around. He used beef liver often and we did well ,crawlers worked well also but it seemed the fish ran bigger on liver.

All this talk about wasting good liver on fish is nonsense . That stuff ahould be on your dinner plate where it belongs, right on top of the onions. Delicious smile

Fresh cut bait works well on the yellow belly bullheads that we have.

^ This, around here anyway.

I would add, in lakes full of bullhead it was always hard to catch a channel cat before the bullheads took the bait. The bull heads would always hit crawlers, sometimes hit liver, never hit sand toads or stink bait.

Can corn works well for bullheads as well.
