Hi folks,

 

I'd like to get your opinions on when northern snakehead angling season starts winding down in the DC/VA/MD area.  It's been pretty slow with the bites over the last week.  Do you catch them into September?

 

A related question is this: Do you fish for them differently as the season progresses?  Late summer conditions on my creek are much different from spring, with scummy water the color of milky tea.  The creek is clogged with vast mats of coontail, too... making it hard to use a chatterbait when every cast dredges up a ton of salad.

Ive caught them in mid October on a cavitron buzzbait.

Usually when the weedbeds die they seem harder to find/catch. They like overhead cover so docks and boatsilps are good when the mats leave. In the winter find the warmwater holes and theyre pretty automatic.
