@@Scooterduder7 yessir. Interesting choice for cold weather fishing, but she held up well. I’ve been really happy with it, especially at its price point.

😂😂

@@creativeexperience6388 😏

@@temianderson532 I usually will it had plenty of others in the 22-26 inch range. This place has also taken a beating from what it once was, and I want to catch more 30+ 😁

Sad part is I’m sitting on a bunch of snakehead video. Just don’t have any time to edit it. Any videos I edit nowadays are at the cost of sleep. Only time I have available 😂 Checkout this one though: ua-cam.com/video/-sy9NUR1iPI/v-deo.htmlsi=kpDL6LR1wuci7Hs0

@@KambotroutFishing no worries i understand 😆Ive watched that video and One of my friends talked To One of Your friends and He was telling him all about catching them in the cold But i Just Dont think I Can use Spinners /Live bait With all The Grass its a crazy amount of grass Ill have to Try tho And when do you Think it gets to cold they stop biting on Topwater?

@@Trumpcpvp60 degrees and better is when top water seems to be good for me. Hydrilla will start to rot away now and will open opportunities for spinner, chatter, and swim baits.

@@blakemiller4233 its usally a high of like low of 50s and high 70s Is that to Cold for topwater? I Used To get like 4 bites everytime Now i dont get nearly any snakehead bites I cast right over then Then i paddle foward and I somehow spook the snakeheads where i was just casting for 5minutes so Like i dont know its there just to cold and dont want to eat topwater But it seems like all i get now is rarely nothing besides a bass everywhile

I think it’s possible that spawns are happening elsewhere, but given the size of the chesapeake, I don’t see how any other estuary or estuaries can compensate for the loss of that habitat. I think the theory of other spawning areas is more so cope for not wanting to confront the realities of overharvest, habitat destruction, and pollution. I’m not optimistic.

@@KambotroutFishingAllowing removal of tons of menhaden -can't help, I hear Virginia is allowing it. I wish there was more we could do as fisherman to help. I appreciate all the stuff you do.

@@underdogoutdoors I wish I had more time to do more. Family and work have taken the lion’s share of my time lately, but I wouldn’t order my priorities any other way.

@@zer0deltav367 great way to spend that downtime brother. Good luck and hit me up with any questions 🎣

@@KambotroutFishing I've got a few questions actually. I've never fished a tidal fishery before. I'm aware the tide direction/level matters a lot more than time of day. But (generally) how far inland is the water brackish? And how does that affect snakeheads? And how do they relate to current? looking around on google maps I see a number of smaller rivers/creek arms that (to my bass fishing eyes at least) look super juicy. But also look like they have a good amount of current moving through them at all times. I imagine snakehead would much prefer slack water and probably stay away from current if they can. But having never fished for them before I don't know

@@quyle9483 thanks brother. Mepps Aglia is forever my #1 survival and travel lure. Unparalleled

I have a few buddies who have used the deadbolt and haven’t had that issue. I think it’ll come down to the quality of the rod, hookset, and the amount of weight (fish + grass/structure) involved.

@@KambotroutFishing what type of rod do they you heavy medium or heavy and what brand

@@odelruiz1179 thanks! Try out the knot yet?

@@Scooterduder7 I use 40lb braid but I have buddies who use 50-60 without issue 👍

@@KambotroutFishing thanks

Love the spinning rods Shane has made

lol, 💯 Mike

@@OldSoulFishing my wife would applaud them for it 😂

@@Kevin-ge6tr you can still get em on top through October and depending on weather, through November too. That said, subsurface tends to become your best bet once water temps dip into ten low to mid 60s. Mepps spinners, chatterbaits, swimbaits, spinnerbaits, etc.

@KambotroutFishing I've caught a couple where I'm at, I know they're in here, not a very large pond. But a ton of under water bush grass. Over on the eastern shore. Can't seem to get em to bite except with the torpedo on the overcast

Legal requirements on Snakehead vary by state, but in most cases, you’re allowed to release them immediately after catching them back into the waters in which you caught them. That’s the case in MD, DE, and VA (this was in MD). It’s usually only illegal to possess live snakehead or to transport live snakehead (which makes good sense in my opinion). I often harvest them, but it usually depends on whether or not I have room in the freezer or know someone who wants them. They’re the best tasting fish in freshwater and have an excellent meat to body ratio. They’re also easy to filet, so if I need meat or know someone who does, I’ll often keep them. With that said, I’ll release them if I don’t have a need to harvest. Many people take an issue with this because they’re labeled as an invasive species, and most fisheries managers do highly encourage their harvest. The peer-reviewed and published science thus far has not shown invasive impact. I’ve actually done an interview series with John Odenkirk, a VDGIF fisheries biologist, in which we review the most recent science and legal requirements on the species (link below if you’re interested). ua-cam.com/video/lceYaOj8P9M/v-deo.html Still, invasive impact sometimes takes several decades to manifest, so if someone does harvest intensely, I understand their position. My personal opinion is that the degree of their impact will depend on the waters involved. In uniformly shallow waters with no established large predatory species (like Blackwater), they’ll likely have more of an impact (though I do think their impact is overblown and the snakehead scapegoated for our own impact). In deeper waters though, they’ll likely have less of an impact, especially when those deeper waters have large, established predatory fish. For me, they’re an admirable species, excellent parents, and incredible sportfish. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Happy to help!

thanks for the help!

Snakehead can be caught up there through the warm months, but the best bite by far is usually late May into June. That’s when they do their spring push and congregate in large schools up by the dam.

@@KambotroutFishing thanks man! It seams like I’ve always missed that period because I’ve yet to catch one! But thanks I’ll have to give it some more tries

💯

lol, very true. And she’ll be bigger next time too

And I love em for it!

These fish teach us some hard lessons and remind us of those lessons if we forget 😏

Thanks brother. They keep us on our toes and give us uncomfortable memories that we’ll never forget 😜

@@meyerec1 thanks and I’ll check out the sharpening vid 👊

Hey Stan. Thought I’d replied to you here but I don’t see my comment any more. That tool is linked here: amzn.to/3TVnKXM When harvesting, I usually club them, slice their gills, then let them bleed out on a hoop stringer. Afterward, it’s best to have them in an ice slurry, but I usually only have them on ice in the warmest months when I’m worried about water temps. Hope this helps and good luck 🎣

@@KambotroutFishing Thank you, Steven, being a novice, the tools and techniques for fishing, especially for snakeheads, are new to me. Your videos have been somewhat of a vicarious ratification for me since I have yet to catch a snakehead. However, armed with you videos, I am determined to change that record. Again, thanks for the advise. I look forward to seeing you out on the water one day.

Couldn’t agree more

Frequently 😁

@@michaelzsizseri8015 thanks Michael and will do brother. Hope your back is on the mend!

🎉👊😜

Bite was insane, at least in terms of multispecies fishing. Could’ve done for more active snakehead 😏 A fishing kayak will be the best fishing investment you ever make. Good luck!

Hey Kent. It’s been a while, but I think I was using the 1” Guly Fry in chartreuse on 1/8 and 1/16 oz jigheads

@KambotroutFishing Thank you for taking the time to reply. I just fished there this afternoon, very slow only 4 small spot and something small that I didn't know what it was. But I was fishing from the bank and went on top of the bridge for a while.Didn't look like anybody was catching much today. 😞

Hey Melvin. Shore, kayak, or boat?

@@KambotroutFishing I can do shore or canoe

Sounds very likely that’s what you were seeing. When they’re in nesting and spawning mode, they rarely hit, and when they do, it’s often a warning or territorial hit vs them actually taking it in.

Thanks Stu!

Lmao

That’s an EXCELLENT price. Just found it online. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks 👊

Anytime!

@@depondhopperI’ve been looking at that braid as an alternative to berkley x9 haven’t tried it yet but now I might lol

lol that bracing is where it’s at
