What anglers say about Bullhead fishing
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Trip)
Great trip with a special guest!
We had nonstop opportunities to chase our target species, and the action never really let up. Even better were the surprise fights—hooking into bullhead, largemouth, and a northern pike on light panfish gear made every moment exciting. Picked up some great techniques from Captain Dan, who was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Already looking forward to the next trip.
- 5.0/5(Morning Fishing Trip)
A fun time on a slow fishing day.
Captain Nick is very knowledgeable of the Hudson River and works hard to boat some fish.
- 5.0/5(2 Hour–Lighthouse/pier fishing tour)
Excellent time!
1st time trying out a fishing charter and it was perfect all the way around! Took my wife and 13 yr old daughter for the 2 hour trip just to see if they'd enjoy it before attempting to do a 4 hour excursion. Everything from the ease of parking, the friendliness and knowledge from the crew...and the fact that we ALL caught fish made the whole thing worth it. We'll definitely be back to do a 4 hour charter next time! Thanks guys for giving us a memorable experience.

Great Time!
Everything was great from start to finish. We caught 16 fish and my teenage sons loved it, even my child who isn’t a big fan of fishing! The boat was very nice, comfortable, fully equipped, and the crew was great! Knowledgeable, kind, and fun! We had a great time!

About Bullhead fishing
Bullhead are species of Catfish native to North American fresh waters. They are abundant and, even though they're quite smaller than their relatives, are popular game and table fish.
There are three major types of Bullhead - the Black (Ameiurus melas), Brown (Ameiurus nebulosus) and Yellow (Ameiurus natalis). Despite their names, color is not a good distinguishing factor. The species boast a common pair of recognizable barbels pointed upwards, by which they get their root name.
How big
The three species are similar in size, with the Black Bullhead being somewhat larger on average than the other two. Most catches are between 8 and 15'' and up to 5lbs.
Distribution
- Black Bullhead can be found throughout the Great Lakes and St Lawrence River, but also natively in southern Ontario and throughout the central USA and non-natively outside this range.
- Brown Bullhead occurs in the eastern USA as far as Alabama and in southern Canada. It has also been introduced throughout the continent. They live in deeper waters than other species.
- Yellow Bullhead can be found in the central and eastern USA as far as western Texas. They have been introduced elsewhere, too. They prefer shallow and weedy waters.
How to catch
Bullhead are caught regularly from the shore. Good baits include homemade dough, special Catfish stink bait, corn, worms or small pieces of minnows or frogs. These can be fished on a slip-sinker rig with a bobber.
During spring, Bullheads will be in shallower water, during summer in deeper and during fall the depth is unpredictable.
Good to eat?
All three make for great table fare.
