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.
Quotehaha. 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.

Quotelet me know how they taste too!
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.
QuoteAaaahhh nice, next time if you guys want another fishing partner ;)Who else is itching for saturday!!
I am. For sure.

I am. For sure.
Ill be out all day saturday. Let me know what kind of boats you will be in so I can stop by and say hi.
Aaron, we are wade fishing on Saturday near Fredericksburg.
hey Dan, if i catch some SH's today should I keep em for you?
Quotehey Dan, if i catch some SH's today should I keep em for you?
nah, it would be too much of a hassle to store and transport them. I'll just bring a cooler with ice again next time we try to catch them.
Thanks for the offer though.
pa what time are you going out today? I should be out there around 4 or so.
I think I saw you out there today were you fishing near mount vernon estates with another buddy? if so the other boat out there was me
got a couple nice 3+ bass out there and a 10+ snakehead in the creek, had another hit my frog 4 times before calling it quits and moving on
check out the size of its head in the second picture
Wow! Impressive.
Nice work man!
Thanks guys, whos up for round 3? I'm thinking either sunday or monday
If you have room I would sure love to come along.
The day I'm not up for fishing is a sad day indeed
lol words to live by, I'll pm when its time to head out and start throwing frogs
Sounds awesome, just let me know when your available.
If there is ever anymore room let me know, as iv been wanting to catch a SH or 2. Also i hear the top water bite in the Potomac as of late is crazy, i need to fish
I fish the Potomac a LOT but I have yet to catch a snakehead (although I have had several take my worms). If you ever want to meet up and slam some please PM me. Any advice would be appreciated!
will do, i fish during the week too and realize alot of you have day jobs, this weekend is looking like rain but friday is looking prime. I will be out then if anyone would like to join me let me know
Thai, did you find any partners for today? I was thinking about heading down there but I didn't know if I was too late.
If you all are heading out and wana meet up let me know I'm itchin for some fishin.
we're fishing today on the potomac if you want to meet up with us, give Dan a call if you have his number if not pm me
Dude, that is a huge snakehead! Congrats!
