I would start broad, then slow down once something starts making sense with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach before I started running around looking for something better.

What the current record shows

The species currently tied to Bullhead Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch; so the first few setups I pack would cover weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and keep the rest of the day loose.

How I would fish it

For somebody fishing Bullhead Lake for the first time, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would still look at the current Wisconsin regulations before fishing.
