People are so negative. Lol. You can buy plaster of paris for like 5 bucks( however, you spell it). Then make your own molds. Using a old microwave (20 bucks yard sale) and a microwave safe glass measuring cup (pirex, 2 bucks yard sale)to melt down old plastic (free if you ask people ), ( don't melt down zman plastic). It is tricky melting plastic but you will get the hang of it. Just heat it slow and stir often. Respirator (50 bucks)will be needed melting soft plastic stinks. Now we are talking about less than 100 bucks. Joys of being creative ( Priceless)!!! Then slowly but surely you can grow your materials and equipment as big or as small as you want to get. That will get you started on the cheap were you go from there is on you. May the force be with you!!! Jay D

Piscifun has a line out called LUNKER. Best Braid I have used! J-

I have had tremendous luck with chatterbaits just make sure to cast past where you think they are and not land to close to them as they will often spook when something splashes near them. Also Flukes and Senko's work great to when a stealthier or weedless presentation is required. Frogs work great when they are in very deep cover like pads or grasses. Poppers fished with quick pauses is probably the most exciting when you cant see them. My favorite is the chatterbait when I can see them though. The snakehead will cover a lot of water in a hurry to get at one. There is nothing like watching one take off like a missile after your bait. That's my two cents tight lines.

The question is what are you looking for a tight wobble or a wide wobble. The wider the bigger and slower the wobble. More narrow equals faster wobble. J-

Typically they can be caught on any bait that a Bass will hit. But the most common ones I have had luck with is Chatterbaits or rattletraps in the day, top water in the morning and night, and slack tides sinko's /flukes. If you have one that surfaces in the same spot over and over, a jig or shaky heads can be effective.

Oh my very interesting story. I was about 15 years old fishing with live worms (alive until the hook goes through them anyway) on a railroad bridge on the Potomac river. I get this little light bite and I set the hook and the rod stays loaded up. I was like great I snagged the bridge. I lift up on the rod and it feels like a piece of a log that I may be able to bring to the surface so I set the "log" back on the bottom. I shout out to my buddy to come over so that when this log surfaces he can unhook it. About 30 seconds later my buddy makes it over to me and this "log" takes off like a bullet, burning drag ( 20lbs test with spinning gear). I screamed out OMG and snap!! I didn't even want to fish anymore. The weight of this thing when I was lifting it off the bottom felt like nothing I have ever caught to this day( I have caught catfish up to 35lbs. I shed a tear every time I think about it!! J-

Chopo I wish I had your type of luck. I get stopped by the game warden out there about 5+ times a year sometimes twice a week. I have seen a lot of bass boats out there with the big motors completely out of the water. I am not sure if that is sufficient but I have never seen them getting in any trouble. J-

How does Friday Oct 10th 7pm sound to all. If we plan it to far in the future everyone will have things come up. Oh yeah and I guess we will need a count if to many people are going, we may need to reserve something. Brittany's is located just north of opitz blvd on old bridge road. We can also change the location if someone knows a better spot. Jay

We should all meet up at Brittany's one weekend for drinks. That is if everyone is at least 21. could could be a good time. J-

I heard it was milky but tough. Let us know how you do choporoz. J-

Anyone been out lately? I hear it's iced coffee out there. J

In the shore grass on topwater bait. J-

I was referring more to the Occoquan reservoir which is all in VA. Post the boundaries though for people who may catch them in the river and not know. thanks Traveler2586, J-

It was a matter of time I know. It just urks me that I feel someone put it there. J-

PO'd ....Confirmed and official there are snakeheads on the Occoquan reservoir now. One was caught during today's tournament. Although it is legal to catch and release now please kill and eat them or give them away dead!!! transporting them alive is still illegal. J-

People jump on this opportunity there are bigger ones out there!!! I had one I know would have been close to 20lbs if not over but it got off :'(. !!! Get you some!!! J-

I would start with a frog in the early morning shallow near cover. Then I am going to have to go with everyone else that says ChatterBait. I will add the darker the better for chatterbaits! Flipping Jigs next near shallow cover before dragging the football head on points, humps, and drop offs. J

Congrats man!!! Good one!

Most likely you are fishing to deep. Most snakeheads I catch are in 3fow or less with 90% being in 2' or less. I have caught them as shollow as 4-6" of water. They seem to be more active early in the A.M. or late afternoon. High tide going out is a very awesome time as the snakeheads seem to get way up on the bank tucked into shore grass and the dropping tide pushes them out. Most important thing is areas not completely effected by tides, like areas with more slack water out of the current. Hope that helps. p.s. From a kayak I would imagine it would be hard to sight fish which in my opinion is the most fun. Jay

Boaters beware tournament Sunday out of fountainhead. Wish me luck ladies and gents. J

I fish mine it aggressively with a lot of pops, but then I pause mine for a half a second. That makes a following bass run into it and can cause a reaction strike. Sometimes the bass will follow it to the boat without hitting it when the bait suddenly comes to a stop right in there face instinctively they open up wide and chomp it. J

I wish I had that type if luck. Mine was hook way to well. It was hissing and it's gogo gadget neck was popping in & out. It was kind of freaky getting the needle nose pliers near it's mouth while my friend was trying to hold it still. J
