As long as BH recruitment is strong or noticable I would focus on predators such as smaller crowded LMB or HSB to heavily prey of the young bullhead. With a strong or abundant small bass population the average size of BH will increase. Feeding the fish pellets could IMO increase the average size of BH toward 12" to 14" when there are relatively few per acre. I think if you regularly feed pellets a sizable group of BH would consider the feeding area their home range and angling on the bottom in this area would be quite good.
