I'm a bass fisherman but trying to find snakeheads. OK everyone talks about the aggressive, invasive snakeheads that are decimating our native species. So two friends and I went hunting then on and around the C14 canal. We launched in Margate and fished the main canal and several of the laterals right up to the turnpike. We used frogs - Basspro various, JD specials ( the snakeheads fight to get at them ), flukes etc. Over a few hours between us we must have cast several thousand times and in that time NOT ONE HIT! Now we are not professionals, but are certainly competent fishermen. We've looked a many YouTube videos and do not seem to be doing anything wrong. We asked several other fishermen and were told - go to this or that point, inlet etc. they are all over there. Of course we go there and get the usual - nothing. Or we were told that they have become rarer and difficult to catch. This experience has been over 4 trips to the same locale. We are looking for some real down to earth direction here please - or are snakeheads just an urban myth?

Couldn't agree more. That's what I did - 1989 Bass Tracker. Had lots of fun and learning. Now awaiting delivery of new Pro175TXW.
