While those are all effective, I really like throwing wake baits. Something like a Mann's 1-Minus or a BPS The Egg.

In my areas anything with exposed trebles would get snagged.

I use them at high tide over hydrilla/millfoil, and also to fish the edges of those or spatterdock. They only dive maybe 1-3".

If your area is choked out with vegetation try a Zoom Horny Toad or equivalent rigged on a 5/O single frog hook, then punch rig if you have the patience. The soft plastic buzz frogs are more versatile since you can fish them like a swimbait when you hit holes and pockets in the vegetation. I've caught quite a few snakeheads swimming a frog subsurface. If the vegetation isn't mucky on the surface you can also throw a buzzbait over/through it. 

Snakeheads habitat selection is pretty strong, so if you find one chances are that there are several in the area. Fan cast with a fast moving search bait until you find the concentrations, then punch the mat and fish slower in that area. I'm not sure that bait selection or color matters much when snakeheads are feeding. Casting accuracy and fishing the right areas is the most important consideration, in my opinion. That and varying cadence until you find the sweet spot.
