Spinnerbait CRUSHING Snakehead: VKAE Snakehead Trail Stop #2 Rappahannock River; VA Fishing Tips
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ค. 2023
- The Snakehead down on the Rappahannock River in Virginia fish DIFFERENT compared to virtually any other waters I've fished. They often occupy much different depths and sometimes structure than Snakehead I've caught elsewhere.
I'd only been to this stretch of the Rappahannock River once before this tournament day (and that last time was two years ago), but I still managed to put together a very productive pattern for catching them.
Did I take 1st place? What was the pattern I discovered? Watch and find out and have a good one! (Links to Gear, Lures, etc., below):

As usual awesome informative, entertaining, and exciting content! Thanks for the upload!
Thanks much Andrew 🙏👊
"Go...get...your...grandaddy, tell him I'm here" 😂 LOVE IT. Awesome day on the water brother
Haha thanks brother. Really wanted a big bass this day. Whenever I don’t join a big bass side pot, or one doesn’t exist, that’s when I get my big bucket mouths
Great video. I'm always amazed that you manage to hang on to your cell phone and not lose it overboard when snapping snakehead pics!
Lol, I REALLY need to put that phone on a tether. It’s only a matter of time with snakehead fishing.
Congratulations 🎉
...and thanks for the intel, I'm heading to that area in a few weeks, so extremely helpful.
Tight lines 🎣🤙🏾
Thanks brother! It’s an incredible river. The upper reaches have trout and smallies, mid reaches have largies, bowfin, snakehead, and big blue cats, and lower reaches have saltwater species like striped bass and even Cobia. Good luck!
Rock solid tournament day Steve! Great video work as always! And yes, new tournament competitors will be pointed to this video to see how much attention is needed when taking scoring photos 🙏🏽 🏆🐍
Thanks brother and very well done on the tourney structure and execution. Made it easy for us and a great time 👊
Well done Steve! Loving this video, shoot you gave me tips on our own water. 👊🏽
Thanks Joel and thanks again for running it 👊
It seems like the northern snakehead behave a bit differently from the bullseye’s down here in south Florida. It’s cool to see them out in deeper water. I’m used to fishing for them right along the bank of canals in inches of water. Sick video.
Thanks Zac 👊
The Rappahannock River in this video fishes differently than most northern snakehead waters I’ve fished up here in MD, DE, and VA. I think it’s due to heavy Bowfishing pressure and the terrain of the river itself.
Most other areas I fish for northerns they do relate to heavy grasses and shallow waters.
AWESOME VIDEO AND EDITING THANKS FOR ANOTHER BANGER
Thanks brother!
Congrats on breaking the 2nd place streak.
😂😂 Thanks bro 😂😂
Another great video
Thanks for the good info
Think like a fish man!
Thanks Stu and you said it: have to get in their heads and try to understand where they are and why they’re there. And what they want 😁
Wow man, way to find that pattern in fairly new water and great showing in the event!
Thanks Scott 🙏👊 The Rappahannock is an incredible river too.
The headwaters have trout and a little further down some of the best smallmouth bass fishing around.
Further south, great snakehead and giant blue cat fishing, as well as striped bass. At the mouth, it has saltwater species like Cobia. If I lived closer I’d fish it all the time.
@@KambotroutFishing sounds like a little slice of heaven bro! :)
Hey Kambo, thrilling to watch. Congrats on the place.
I noticed you're using snaps on some of your setups. Could you shed some light on this and point in the right direction for which snaps are best/trusted? With or without swivel. Thanks!
Hey W and thanks 👊
The 50-lb rated Spro clips are pretty solid 👍

Great video! Where did you get that bump board you are using, I like that a lot! The link in the description isn’t the same.

@@KambotroutFishing thank you!
@@tonyveres5169 np 👍
Congrats on the third place finish while still providing awesome content. Also, very informative video. Hey is there a specific time where the snake hold in deeper water as opposed to the banks and pads?
Thanks brother 👊
In most other waters, I usually don’t see snakehead go deeper until the colder months. That’s when they’ll either go to deeper water or hang on the channel edges.
The Rappahannock snakehead are different though, and I think it’s a result of very heavy Bowfishing pressure which is causing a kind of accelerated adaptation in the snakehead.
Essentially, the snakehead which are genetically predisposed to go shallow are getting destroyed by bowfishers and thus have less reproductive success.
Conversely, those fish which are more predisposed to hang around deeper water are having better reproductive success, thus creating more snakehead with the same behavioral predisposition.
That’s a very rough theory on my part though. No science to back it up, just my logical analysis.
@@KambotroutFishing roughly how deep were those fish? If you don’t mind me asking. Your theory seems legit. Also, are you able to mark them on fish finder?
Release the thing already, LOL!! I'm bored here at work and need some exciting snakehead action to get me motivated.
😂😂 You ain’t the only one. Counting down till this weekend finally starts
@@KambotroutFishing Yeah many, I'm off all next week!
@@swkelley oh man. I’ll standby for the pics!
Another excellent video brother.
Boom💥👊
Not my normal style of snakehead fishing, but man I had some fun 🥳😂
I used to be in the same boat with trying to muscle the lures out of their mouth. Get yourself a pair of jaw spreaders. Make all the difference in the world!
Those speakers are on my list 💯
Great video! When you’re fishing for snakes with spinnerbaits, do you typically use a trailer hook?
Thanks Alan and yes, I always use a trailer hook with a spinnerbait when snakehead fishing. It’s saved me many times.
the waters here look deeper than where you usually fish, usually in deep waters the snakehead will pull the fishing line stronger.
btw the same words when I released a small fish, go and call your grandfather here 😂😂😂
Little bass didn’t listen though. Never saw that grandfather 😒😏
Great video do you still stay in MD
I still fish the vast majority of time in MD, but been hitting VA a couple times in the past month or so. I think they’ll have the new record snakehead. Some absolute monsters down There.
what kind of snaps do you use?
Where'd you get the addiction grips from
I got mine at Edgemere Bait and Tackle in sparrows point.
You can also find them online: addictionbaits.com
