I looked into a Fyke net, the $1000. they want for one I thought was to high. Would rather spend a $1000. for more 6 inch bass. The figure 8 traps that were used work good, but they only have an inch to inch half opening for the fish to get in. Even with that size of a opening I had checked the trap and it would be full of fish. I would put it back and go home for a bucket and there would be only 20 or so left in. So I know the bullheads swim in and out of it, a larger hole would make it even easier. I did find out that the traps work a lot better if they are shiny and not covered with black algae. I never worried about the bull heads because every pond and lake has had them and they always disappear when they bass take over. But right now I think the bull heads and green sunfish are eating all the bass eggs and small fry.
