So lately I found a new technique that has produced very well for me in this period when the snakeheads are either going deeper or burying themselves in the muck and becoming less active. Yesterday i landed 6  the biggest being 8lbs and today I landed two within half an hour with one monster 12lber. If anyone wants to meet up with me in the Alexandria/Mount Vernon area to learn a new technique let me know! It only works on a low tide so tomorrow evening around 6 is when i'll be targeting them but I'll be bass fishing throughout the day if anyones interested in that too.

I'm in! Are you going to be fishing earlier? It would be easier for me to come down that way earlier in the day to beat the rush hour. What should I bring?

PM'd

I knew Dan would jump on that offer!!! I probably be out fishing there tonight. good luck guys.

i would have been down if I knew about this earlier...oh well. Post lots of pix!

pictures are a must. 6 in one trip, thats unheard of. until now.

Of course I'm jumping on it!! If someone offered a trip for musky I'd jump on that too! I MUST cross this species off of my "Fish-to-catch" list.

I'm going to bring a cooler and some ice.

Dan, Ive got a jon boat with trolling motor we can use in the creek, only think is we gotta push the trailer down to the water which is like 50 yards or so unless you got a tow hitch lol

nope, no tow hitch but I'll stretch before I head down there.

haha. ill prob see you guys out there.

You know my number. Don't be afraid to come over and say hey.

Reading this thread got me to thinking. So I googled snakeheads-potomac. I found this article from the Post on some guys that run a snakehead guide service.

I've been told they are something like Tilapia but I'll let you know how I think they taste if we catch some.

Ahhh I wish I was going haha let me know how it goes! Im itchin for a way to finally catch those devils.  >

Good luck guys

Well just got back, missed the hookset on two very decent snakes before dan arrived, but the tide was working against us when Dan got here so we went and did some bass fishing. Between Dan, a buddy and myself we slammed maybe 25 bass on topwater with our share of missed hooksets within an hour and a half, overall a very exciting day for us

25?! d**n, was this near Dogue creek by any chance? Much better then we did last night that's for sure :/

Thanks for having me Thai. That was a good day of bass fishing. We'll take another shot at those snakeheads sometime. It's not like they're going anywhere  :

David, we were not in Dogue Creek. We were in the creek where you and I met up and fished. (the one where we met, not Pohick)

Aaaahhh nice, next time if you guys want another fishing partner ;)

Who else is itching for saturday!!  

Im super stoked for Sat, every time i fish down there i only catch dinky fish hopefully with a good guide (Dan lol) we can slam some hogs

and if things go well weather wise im down for going out again on sunday to get some SH's and hit up the bass flats

The place we are going definitely has some nice fish, hopefully we can get them to bite.

Aaaahhh nice, next time if you guys want another fishing partner ;)

Who else is itching for saturday!!

I am. For sure.
