I have caught several snakeheads in the past, just by happenstance actually lol. So today at the scum pond I decided I would purposely try and catch one...needless to say I could not get one! The water is chocolate milk, but I can see the snakeheads swimming around everywhere. I even casted a blue and black chatterbait right across the front of one, retrieved slowly,  and it did not even attempt to go for it. That confused me, considering their aggressive temperament. Do these fish see well? Any thoughts on what might be going on? I have always assumed snakeheads will go for anything you throw to catch bass. 

I’m only 6 months into my first full year fishing for them. I haven’t caught one targeting them in a few months and even then it had drastically slowed down from the late fall when they were plentiful and aggressive. No frog bites (all bass) and the ones I’ve caught were on bladed baits, mostly the underspins I fish for bass and peas. I’m hoping the warming and raising water coming up will help. I’ve almost completely scrapped fishing for them, but that pure heroin of a topwater frog explosion keeps me working at it.
