- Here's a quick video for you guys if you're ever interested in catching a snakehead! I caught them a bit different today (running a texas rig over weeds) but it's a great technique if you're out of frogs or want to increase your hook up ratio. Let me know what type of video you guys want to see next! As always, please be sure to like, comment, and subscribe!

man, you seem to have WAAAAAAAAAAY more luck at Burke than I have ever managed. You have obviously got it figured out.
It still kicks my butt sometimes! Hopefully the videos will help you out
i was thinking the same thing
yo this is the best snakehead fishing video I've ever seen. Nicely done. I fish Burke almost everyday lol. Asian dude in a white inflatable kayak.
I appreciate it man! Hope to see you out there sometime
Wow! Snakehead!! I can see lots of Snakeheads (雷魚) in my home country, Japan. But I did not know they are also in the U.S. Nice video!
Ive been here 3 times so far , havent caught anything but catfish & bass
Just fished Burke for the first time last month, I wasn't disappointed. It seems like its loaded with Snakehead. Great video man, went out and got some of those pit bosses and it paid off
Glad to hear that man!
That was a lot of fun! Thanks for taking us along, we don’t have snake heads in the North, interesting looking fish!!
See you on the next one👍
Hey man I’ve fished that spot before on the yak but nothing I will def be coming back to that one love the vids keep it up
Thanks bro, it’s a good spot but tough sometimes for sure. I got a bass pro shops giveaway going on, check out my most recent vid to enter!
Never caught one myself, but I've heard a lot of people say top waters are the go-to for snakehead. Nice video man.
That was awesome! We don't have snakehead up in Massachusetts so I will have to get out there someday for them! Great tips! You got my sub!
I used caught lots a sneakhead when I was in korea. They are really fun to catch ! Great video ! I love it so much ~ subscribed!
Didn't know Burke had snakehead, but I feel like maybe every place does now. I still want to get a chance to fish that lake. Looks awesome. Great vid my man.
It’s a great place to fish, lots of different species. Tight lines man
Nice video!! Wow I’m still in shock that that’s at Burke Lake!
Awesome video! Love to catch a snake head
I live im st louis mo so I've only had the chance to fish for some heads a few time. My pb is 2.3. Those buggers really fight too. Remind me of a bowfin actually. Especially the way they jump multiple times sometimes. One thing I wish I'd have had the chance was to taste one. Keep doing what you love and fish on!👌👍😊
Man, I've been away from it too long! Will definitely go back for the snakeheads!!!
Do it! They really stack up in the spring
Great vid! Are you using any leader, or just 15 lb. braid all the way? Also, the worm weights, 1/16 oz.? Thanks!
I’ll usually go straight braid for snakeheads. The weight varies, 3/8 oz is a good all around weight but you can go lighter if you’re in shallower water. If you’re punching through the weeds, I usually will throw 1oz to 2oz depending on how thick / deep.
Cool video man! I know the Potomac is full of Snakehead, but I didn't realize Burke Lake had so many numbers! Tight lines man! Maybe I'll see you on the water! ~subscribed
Nice tips buddy ,nice spot ,nice fish ,all gift are completed 🙏🤗
Nice video my friend....
In my country, lot of snake head
Nice catches just picked up my first yak plan on hitting this lake soon, before I make the trip down was wondering which area of the lake was this bank area u were hitting ? If u don’t mind sharing that is.
Thanks boss
This particular spot hasn’t consistently produced like it did 2-3 years ago. I will say, hit each bank hard with frogs and don’t be afraid to punch through the grass with 1.5-2 oz weights. Sometimes those fish just want to see something a little different.
Your best bet are areas where the weeds along the bank transition into shallow grass (2-5 feet) - look up a Burke lake depth chart and you’ll be able find these spots. Good luck man.
What a cool fish!! Love your videos. I like to catch pickrell they’re similar. Nice video!
Thanks!
I've never caught a snake head. Good video man
Those are really top notch tips, I'll have to try that Pit Boss technique next time I go after the toothy ones. I will definitely take you up on your offer to join each other when I can get out to Burke Lake, I'm right across the river in DC. Hopefully I'll be able to get one of their rental fishing kayaks.
Let me know man, it’s a good time!
Very good and helpful video
excellent fishing video and nice landscape like 41 thank you for your nıce video
Awesome video! I caught some in Thailand and China on a fly rod and they were hard as hell to catch. Looks fun though!
Great catches and solid video. Keep it up.
Thanks brotha
Those are awesome!! I would love to see you go back in this same spot use like a YUM Houdini shad jerk bait in smoked shad color with just a worm hook in it and work it on the surface through those weeds or a couple feet under the surface when not in the weeds I bet the snake heads would nail it! I always see people fishing for snake heads with weird lures always kind of all using the same type and I always say I bet if they used a jerk bait they would nail em!
I’ll have to give it a try, thanks for the comment!
wow nice video men thank you for sharing
Supp Nova. Is Burke open regular hours.
Yesssir, both ramps are open. Not sure if they’ve started rentals yet
nice work.. snakehead are great eating..
Yesssir, really good!
What up nova I call them fraken fish. They are cool looking fish.
cool vid man!! very helpfull
New subscriber here. SMD Fishing sent me over.👍
Great video
love your vids! BTW - What’s your set up? (rod/reel/weight line) you’re using and is that a pit boss black and blue junior 3 inch ?
Thanks! Yep you got it. In this vid since I was in the kayak I think the setup was a 7’2 MH paired with a 7:1:1 gear ratio and I think I had on 15 lb line
IM GOIN TO BUY ME A TEXAS RIG TONIGHT!!
Cool
Sick man! Never caught one, but it looks fun tho
Great outing!
I HAVE YET TO CATCH A SNAKEHEAD!!! ITS ONLY MY SECOND FISHING SEASON EVER SO HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO GET ONE!!! THE WATER IN MY AREA IS IDEAL FOR THEM!!! THANKYOU FOR SHARING BROTHER AWESOME VIDEO!!! 🤘🇺🇸🤘🇺🇸🤘
I would love to target snakehead sometime soon!
where on the lake is this? i cant seem to get a bite lol.
Good fish broo 🎣
Great vid
Burke lake has been good lately, but I've never caught a snakehead there yet.
Where is this spot?
Nice a spot 😍👍
Wow i did not know burkes had snakeheads in there like that.
A nice spot
its a little late but how do you find good spots for snakehead? I cant seem to find many. Ive caught one at burke lake over by the dam
Throughout the spring, hit the areas that get the most sunlight throughout the day. Water temp will be slightly higher and should have vegetation before other areas. Look for slow tapering banks and move slow
@@NOVAOUTDOORS what about during the summer?
@@NOVAOUTDOORS also, what baits work for snakehead in the spring time? Still frogs and plastics?
@@willcorbin8621 yep frogs and plastics are probably your best bet. You can also get them on white chatterbaits or spinnerbaits.
Summertime you can get them on top water early in the morning / late in the evening in the same areas as the spring. During the day, I usually will fish deeper weed lines with soft plastics / chatterbaits.
What brand name and model is your Kayak?
It’s an old Towne angler trip 10
Would you also specify what type and pound capacity line did you use for the snakehead? Also for rods, can a 20lb rod does the job or I need a stronger one?
Usually if I’m fishing up shallow in the weeds I’ll throw a 7’6 heavy with 50lb braid. I can get away with that if I’m throwing frogs or punching thru grass. If I’m throwing moving baits off the edge of weed lines I’ll go down to a 7’2 medium heavy with lighter fluro or braid with a fluro leader.
@@NOVAOUTDOORS thank you so much. Very helpful.
Sorry for asking again, I am quite a noob; my rod is a medium heavy 20lb. Can the snake head break my rod? And in general, does it make sense to set a 20lbs rated rod with a 50lbs line?
I appreciate the questions man. You should be completely fine with that rod. Braided line has a thinner diameter than regular fishing line. For example, 50 lb braid has a diameter equal to that of 15 to 20 lb flurocarbon. Hope this helps a little
This helps a lot! Thank you so much for all your informative, prompt responses!
Subbed ☺
You ever try for snakeheads at lake brittle?
I was actually out there the other day trying did them. There’s a good population of them in there
What part of Burk Lake you started off from with your Kayak?
I was in the back end of a cove past the island, usually you can find them hanging in the weeds all throughout the lake
which cove do you see them most right by the island or farther down lake
Further down lake, in both the forks
@@NOVAOUTDOORS i know they are close around the dam. so your saying closer to burke lake road side
Great video man. And it happened again to me. I had to unsub and resub to you just to be able to hit the notification bell
I go fishing in Burke Lake sometimes but I never get anything, how do you catch these fish so fast?
I try to pattern them throughout the year, you can follow me @ryspivey10 on Instagram
What do u use when u fish
I love tossing soft plastics and I’ll toss the usually spinner bait, chatter bait, crank bait etc. just depends on the day!
Thank you for the tips man! Tons of them in New Jersey here! I got a new video out too feel free to check it out!
Wow keren
Dude can I join you one day i live in Springfield just moved there and I been at burke lake every day this long weekend and didnt catch a single fish used everything possible from whopper plopper to crankbait
Shoot me an email, Novaoutdoors28@gmail.com. We can figure something out!
Great video brother. Been fishing Burke since the late 70's. Beautiful lake
@@NOVAOUTDOORS hey man sorry for late response just sent email this morning
What’s your @ on instagram?
Hi i am a fairfax angler that needs some fishing spots can i get some help?
Sure man, where have you been fishing so far?
NOVA OutDoors All the local heavy fished lakes do you know of any good ponds ?
James Pisano goodluck finding any ponds in the fairfax area that aren’t already fished like crazy/ private owned and patrolled by some crazy Karen’s 😂 that’s why I got a kayak to get out on the Potomac
James Pisano id say your best bet for ponds would be to hit the south riding ponds and chantilly ponds. Pretty much all the ponds in south riding are fishable but do get hit often. The Fishbrain app is great for finding them but google maps helps a ton. Good luck man, let me know if I can help with anything else.
You are supposed to kill and report snake heads. Right?
You have to report the catch. But you are not required to kill them, you can release them without penalty.
Cool
