Title: Bull Head Derby this Sunday
Post by: jettabambino on June 24, 2011, 08:08:30 AM

Well... Its going to be a first but I am taking my kids to the Bull Head Derby out in Steveston

Who is going?

What do you use?

I know bull head are relatively easy to catch but i havent really ever targeted them before.

I was thinking of using bacon or chicken sckin

Any help is appreciated.   Never really even fished that part of the fraser before.  Should be fun with all the kids around...

My son and I will be there also, weather permitting.  We'll try the hotdog theory.  I've never targeted these fish, either.

Another very successful bullhead derby in sunny Richmond today. Around 120 kids took part in it. Beside sculpin, quite a few starry flounder were caught, also saw a bull trout. Here are some photos.
