Spring Snakehead Seminar: Lures, Tactics, Tips, & Techniques to catch Spring Snakehead

[@underdogoutdoors]

I can't thank you enough, you reignited my passion for fishing when I clicked on to your snakehead video over 2 years ago.

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks brother. Can’t ask for more than that. Purpose fulfilled 👊🙏

[@sonoman00ify]

The 1st Snakehead Ibever caught was literally in 6" of water. Threw a frog up onto muddy shore and dragged it into water. Fish exploded on it right when it entered water! 14.5 lbs! I fell back in love with fishing again. So glad they are here.

[@KambotroutFishing]

Now that’s a LOVE story! lol. I’ve seen snakehead do the same for many anglers out there. They are incredible fish

[@fisherdude6893]

I was wondering if if your ever in the area, if you could fish Deer creek below the damn. I saw MASSIVE sneakhead their!!!

[@KambotroutFishing]

Down in deer creek itself or up by Conowingo?

[@fisherdude6893]

@@KambotroutFishing The mouth of deer creek where it intersects into the Susquehanna, I saw lots of snakehead by the mouth of deer creek and further up stream.

[@KambotroutFishing]

@@fisherdude6893 I’ll be back in MD soon. If it can make it up there, I def will 👍

[@sonoman00ify]

Glad I saw your videos. Got me pumped to get out tomorrow. Thanks for the content. Subbed

[@KambotroutFishing]

Good luck brother. Let me know how you do 👊

[@jamesmanee]

Tried over 5 times to catch a snakehead, no luck. Thank you for this video. I hope i can catch one with your tips!

[@KambotroutFishing]

You’re welcome James and good luck!

[@Nick-jz8hd]

So educational! Here’s a question for you, do you think Carp spawning and rolling around in that same deep cover that snakehead love this time of year drives the snakehead out? If so, where do they go? As you said they’re easily spooked

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks Nick 👍 I’ve rarely caught snakehead in areas where the carp are rolling. When that’s going on, I think they may push out a bit into deeper water around the edges of grass beds or other structure, but it’s not a pattern I fully understand yet.

[@stumessick9963]

Good stuff You really are a natural teacher Thanks

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks much Stu. I love to pass it on 👍

[@slugbaited]

thanks for doing this and posting such an informative video. this might give me motivation to haul my kayaks and make the long drive to target them this spring. i’ve only tried a few times for them more locally and caught my first last summer. looking forward to many more!

[@KambotroutFishing]

You’re welcome brother and I hope it all helps. Went out today and slayed em. Prespawn bite has begun 🥳

[@Orange22Fishing]

Thanks for doing this bro! Listened to it on my way to work today to brush up on my knowledge. Pretty cool hearing my early season topwater snake get mentioned too!

[@KambotroutFishing]

You got it brother 👊 I’ll be hoping to get my first top water snakehead of the season on this coming Tuesday. It almost happened today but not quite.

[@john2510]

Really great! I recently moved to a great snakehead area (Aquia Creek, VA), and this has given me all the info I need to get started. Thanks!!

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks John and good luck over on Aquia!

[@john2510]

@@KambotroutFishing I saw on another video that you were looking for places to fish. If you ever feel like coming down to Stafford, I'm 5 minutes from Aquia landing and 5 minutes from Crow's Nest - both excellent snakehead locations (I've been told). We could give you a place to crash, if you were so inclined.

[@maestrobigwas4468]

Very effective sir even in our country thanks

[@KambotroutFishing]

If I had to pick one lure to take with me anywhere in the world, it would probably be a Mepps

[@redheadreelin4603]

This is priceless educational information from an expert snakehead angler. Thank you so much for posting this seminar Kambo because I was not able to make it in person. I am very conflicted between Berkly X9 and PowerPro Super8Slick V2. Both are excellent choices

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks for the kind words brother and I hope it helps. I haven’t tried the PowerPro Super8Slick V2 yet. If you’re torn between that and Berkeley X9 that says a lot for it 👍

[@brewtankoutdoors1432]

Good seminar.. thx for posting..if I knew u guys were gonna be at anglers woulda drove over there...where can find out things tht are coming up u guys are doin

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks brother. We’ll usually have all our events on the Legion of Anglers FB page. If it’s just something of mine, I’ll also have them on Kambotrout Fishing FB page.

[@giuseppemusket]

Great seminar Steve. Nice work brother!

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks Joe! I have such a great time doing these events

[@jnogle6]

Thanks for sharing this with us unable to make it in person. Great info as usual

[@KambotroutFishing]

You got it brother 👊

[@GNRBJJ]

Awesome awesome stuff man

[@KambotroutFishing]

Thanks Trey 👊 Editing our DE cleanup meetup. Got some good video of you and your son 👍

[@williampruitt8420]

Awesome!!!

Thanks William 👊

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

Awesome! Bro Thank you for your service👊

[@KambotroutFishing]

You’re welcome brother and thanks for watching 👍

[@scottgrace5588]

Do they target crab like striper do? Will they also go for chicken neck? Last fall something was going nuts in the bush eating chicken necks very fast. Didn't seem to be cats

[@KambotroutFishing]

I don’t think they key-in on crabs intentionally, but they’ll def eat them once the crab has molted. For Chicken necks, I’m not sure. I’ve had turtles, eels, and catfish go after chicken necks, but haven’t seen a snakehead do it yet. Wouldn’t put it past em though. At the end of the day, chicken necks are just good protein.

[@dwightgholson6084]

Thanks for putting this info out there. Somewhat of a beginner so I'm learning and planning to do to Blackwater this weekend. Is there an in-depth video like this for fall snakehead fishing? What color of the X5/X9 do you use when snakehead fishing?

[@KambotroutFishing]

Hey Dwight and thanks for watching. Happy to help. Here are two videos that cover Fall Snakehead fishing. Good luck🎣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6TcaoGLh5achqssi=YaoXTzdMvcb6na3h kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKLPZJmMmrlgo68si=V2JoSRb_QAXKtz__

[@dwightgholson6084]

@@KambotroutFishing came across that video after I sent the comment, also very informative. Tried my luck around Dorchester and Vienna over the weekend. No luck, but still had a great time. Caught crabs and a catfish.

[@jamiemckenzie101]

You ever catch snakeheads on Rapala jerk baits

[@KambotroutFishing]

I don’t often use them, but yes. In deeper water I’ll use them, but I tend to move away from treble hooks as the grass grows up throughout the year. In rocky streams and rivers though, they should work pretty well year around.

[@jamiemckenzie101]

I tend to use mepps a lot myself what’s you go to color

[@KambotroutFishing]

Usually it’s white with silver blade, but fire tiger is starting to grow on me

[@knowyourjoe8826]

Just found out about Snakeheads literally a day or so ago. It was my understanding that this is an extremely invasive, exceptionally prolific, ambushing species with no natural predators. As such it is also my understanding that the standard protocol is to kill any that are caught immediately and freeze them. It appeared that you were following a catch and release protocol. I am curious as to why. I may have been mistaken and am not judging your actions if this is the case just curious. New to fishing and trying to learn. Thanks in advance for any information and thanks for sharing.

[@sonoman00ify]

I release plenty. Pretty sure they can't make a law to kill something. Snakeheads aren't thinning other fish out. They actually add food fir other species. Their offspring are eaten, and they have multiple spawns per year. I only keep them if I'm gonna eat them or give to friends.
