Sunday Snakehead

Type: Nontidal
Region: Eastern
Location: Little Blackwater

On 5/15 I fished with friends Vadim and Zach on the Little Blackwater. We went out of the soft launch at the Chesapeake Forest entrance off Egypt Rd today. The bite was horrible. We only caught two fish. But they were nice heavy fish, mine measured in at 28� and Zach�s catch was 26�.

We spoke to seven other anglers, which between them, caught four fish. And three of those were caught by one angler. The water temperature was cold to the touch. For a good snakehead bite the water temperature needs to be 68 degrees up to 80 degrees. The current weather has kept the fish at bay, ugh. I�m catching fish but it�s hasn�t been easy. I've been having success catching them on swim jigs 4� white paddle tail.
