The Snakehead Contest is being incorporated into an Inland Freshwater Survey on the Volunteer Angler Creel Survey webpage. For 2013 the end-of-year random drawing will include anglers reporting snakeheads to the Anglers Log as well as anglers participating in the Volunteer Angler Creel Surveys. We encourage anglers to continue to report snakehead catches. The information is helping our biologists better understand how this invasive species increases its range.

Tonytank Pond Snakehead

Type: Tidal
Region: Eastern
Location: Tonytank Pond

On Friday April 19th I caught a Snakehead at Tonytank Pond in Salisbury. The fish was caught with a wacky rigged senko. A bass fisherman said the bass bite was way off in the pond this year….possibly due to this fella' & his friends. First one I've ever caught there. One less now!

Last week on my very first Potomac bass fishing trip my buddy caught a 8 lb & 6 lb Largemouth Bass and I settled for a couple smaller than that. I also caught my first Snakehead weighing 9 lb 10 oz, taken on a chatterbait, at least I beat him in the weight division.
