What is a good place to catch catfish/bullhead that is within a twenty tothirty minute drive from the bethpage area. I just got back from pennsylvania and after catching a lot of catfish and bullhead I really want to keep doing it. They give a great fight, especially on light tackle and they are just fun to catch. Thanks for any info.

hey, was just looking on the Dec website and found that there is some bullhead at blydenburg lake(a.k.a New Mill Pond or Stump Pond)... I have fished here many times for Bass, Perch, bluegills, and such, but never caught a bullhead. Now i have never targeted bullhead, but mabey next time. I have never fished for bullhead and have done very little catfishing, what should I use and how should i fish this??

freshwater clams

i have a stream in my backyard and it empties off into a 5 foot deep, 10 ft radius "hole" where all the sunnies hang out probably because of the fresh water running through, but there are also bullheads and eels to 5 feet there and i have clams in my stream, i cracked one open and put it on hoping for eels but the bullheads went absolutely crazy for them so if u can get any of these clams i would reccomend them saltwater clams prolly work good too

Cats....

If you want to catch a bunch of bullheads with a few that will be of jumbo size, give Massapequa lake (Caroons) a shot.I use to fish Caroons often and the cat fishing can be fantastic ! A nite-crawler on the bottom and you are good 2 go.....20-30 nice bullheads in an afternoon was the norm.


Good luck.....
