No need to draw attention to one trib. ANY lake erie trib with some depth and muddy flats has these guys in it, and they grow well over 20lbs in all of them. Get on em. They were taking cut up spottail shiners and a few hits on cut sucker meat.

That stringer has good eats Rich.

You need to take a vid of cleaning them. Nailing their heads to a board,and ripping the skin off. Been awhile since I had whiskers for a dinner,but cleaning them was a blast.

My grandpa used to do it that way. He nailed them to a tree and took pliers to each side. He loved bullheads, as is where my love for their sweet spring fillets comes from. He always said "a fish you can fillet without a knife is meant to be eaten"

 

I however live in an apartment, with a clean girlfriend who wouldn't appreciate me nailing catfish to boards in the kitchen. So I do it the pansy way and cut the head off, then fillet like a perch. Haha

This...I've never caught one, but they do look challenging to clean. Nice catch!

I've heard a lot about Erie catfish run. What about lake Ontario trips?

I know when i lived in the hammer, we got them like crazy at the mouth of the desjardins and up into valley inn, was good til the beginning of june. I have no experience fishing them on any other lake O tribs, but after looking at the mouth of bronte i'd bet it's really good off that pier at night.

Great report Rich. Hey, the last fish has a serious overbite. Look at him....he could be cast in the Simpsons and wouldn't look out of place. :)
