Would the bullheads come out now?

LMAO I'm a terrible mother.

When I was a kid, I learned from my mom when we fished off the dock, you stop fishing when the sun gets close to the treeline because that's when the bullheads start biting. They're gross. No one wants that. They stink and you don't want to touch them to unhook them.

Logical conclusion by childhood me, one must never swim at dusk because the bullheads will surely get you. ...I carry this mindset well into adulthood. There is no night swimming for this girl.

...So I miiiight've convinced my tween that she can't swim when the sun is setting because the bullheads and northern pike will get her. Really, I just dont wanna play lifeguard after a full day of watching. 🤷‍♀️😆

Kid asked me as the sun setting just now "would the bullheads come out now?" ...I might've laughed.

If you're splashing around and making a big disturbance in the water bull heads and norther pike are the last thing that would go after you. Now pike like it cold so they are down deep its not spawning season for them so the shallows they are going to avoid. But someone else will back me up on this they are fantastic eating blackened pike tacos are amazing. Bullheads aren't exactly my favorite but when cooked right beer battered up with old bay or Cajun and deep fried not too shabby. But the likely hood of a cat fish doing a lot of damage to a child its gotta be one hell of a fish that id love for my wall!
