When you said "pattern" I thought of my Bass tournament days. Then I realized I litterally use the same frog and color 100% of the time. Ribbit Lousiana Crawdad. If Snakehead are biting, theyre biting crawdad color. I always wondered how many crawdads they actually eat, then last year I found crawdads in 3 of my Snakeheads stomachs. Look just like my crawdad frogs. I buy them by the case.
My buddy has torn up big bass and snakehead on the Z-man Jackhammer in Crawdad color too. But man - that price tag on the Jackhammer lately has me looking for more economical options.
As usual, great stuff man. Thank you for sharing this info, never have much luck with a crank bait but this is good motivation to diversify approaches!
Good deal, that the first snakehead of the year for you? Or already been on em? This cold front and wind is driving me crazy. Prespawn bite was really picking up, then it got kicked in the teeth by this weather.
Good question. Usually it’s water temp. I tend to find them in open water with the Mepps when water temps are lower, say 55 degrees and below. Once temps are above 55, they tend to relate to structure more, be it hydrilla mats or shoreline structure like reeds.
Yeah, bow fishing pisses me off bro! These Snakeheads aren't going anywhere, might as well make them a game fish. They aren't hurting the Bass fishing at all imo. I've caught more big Bass since Snakehead have arrived than I did before.
Nice Maryland Bass.
Thanks Michael 👊

Nice one !!
Pretty Bass
I fish square bills all winter for Bass and Pickerel
Now I’ll make them part of my Snaking set up
Thanks!!
Thanks Stu 👊
I still need to swap a few hooks for stronger, thicker wire, but they are damn effective lures for em

Thanks brother. I never used cranks much but have started to over the last 1-2 years. Been paying solid dividends
Great stuff ‼️
Thanks brother 👊
Great catches, good luck getting the citation!!
Thanks brother!

Wow 👍
Thanks Loan 🙏
Nice, we caught one snakehead last weekend
Good deal, that the first snakehead of the year for you? Or already been on em?

First of the year for us caught it in deeper water on the z man bullseye spinner bait
@@fishingfinn77 love to see it!
How do u decide to go after them in cover or use the mepps out in the open water during spring like your other videos?

I'm worried about the future of snakehead, with bow fishing, and commercial fishing etc... I hope they adapt and stay with us!
I hope so too and I believe they will. We may have some tough years, but the their merit will win out in the end.
