RESULTS OF THE 2011 EDITION OF THE NIAGARA COUNTY BULLHEAD CONTEST There were 105 contestants ! Here are the winners: 1st 2nd & 3rd were cash payout prizes
after expenses. [50/30/20] Other lesser prize winners were: Fish were caught from all over. Lots of fishing concentration was at 12 Mile Creek West, right at the mouth to the lake also at the inner end of the Wilson piers. Some fish entered were caught at Duck Island in Gill Creek, Niagara Falls. There were quite a few fish brought to the weigh-in and most were kept by the anglers and what wasn’t kept was taken home to cook by a Wilson Conservation Club member. We relied heavily on our volunteers of Chris J., [dog cooker] Dave Astasia, [chili cooker] Terry Swann, [club liaison, photos] Delma Daul, [salad maker & go-fer] - Debbie, Ellen & another lady from the Wilson Conservation Club who sold 50/50 tickets. Oh, of course Pete’s wife Wendy kept everything organized and made the baked beans. Our weigh master Richard Fortier kept the weigh-in and winners sheets in order there. Quite a few parents got their children out and that was something that made our day. We had a box of Thinsulate winter children’s caps that were donated by Captain Frank Campbell to give away to the tiny kids. All the tiny kids got one, and Feather & Fur Bait Shop gave away fishing stuff to what kids were left. Again the Wilson Conservation Club opened their doors for us to have our awards and picnic. A 50/50 split was held to benefit the this club. Next year, if we do this again we would like to have a fish fry picnic & some volunteers to come out and take charge of cleaning & cooking these critters and we can do up some potatoes and have a real nice lunch. But we need volunteers. |

Hold your bullhead like in the picture if your hand can wrap like the
picture otherwise hold it by the lower lip.
Slide your hand over the dorsal fin like picture shows and avoid the fins you see in the
picture on the sides. [See the fin under this guys thumb.] They can jab and hurt.
When lipping I wrap a rag or a glove around my thumb. The teeth feel like
sandpaper.
Those little teeth can scrape you if it is a biggie.
Wilson Lions Club, Thank You!

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Bullhead contest - A little change
No live Fish Please
A visit
Saturday from the Dec told me that transporting live fish from any body of water
is not permitted-unless it is certified - so - we can not put live fish in the
Conservation Clubs pond for the kids Fishing Derby because these Bullhead might
be infected - also to put any bullhead back - it must be put back in the water
it was taken -
Therefore - the extra 3 ounces for a live bullhead has be dropped - what the 2
fish weigh is what they weigh - please present your fish to the judges with out
water, just like you were taking the fish home to eat - the DEC CAN ticket you
if your fish are alive in water in your car --
There are 2 options of what to do with your entered Bullheads :
1. You can get the fish weighed and then put the fish in your can and take them
home
2. If you do not want the Bullheads - we will find someone that will take your
fish - they will take the fish home and eat
Sorry for the change – only where the Bullheads end up
The Dec officer was very cooperative - and even offer these suggestions of what
to do with the fish
