Rootaholic09 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Today I decided to go out and fish my usual spot out in the everglades. Its been really bad lately so I decided to venture out and see if there was anything else around. I found this some canal across the street and I fished it for about an hour and all I got was a snakehead (don't worry I killed it.) I was wondering if anyone has ever fishing it and what kind of results have they had. Here is the link 25.760745, -80.673761 Let me know and also any recommendations of anything in the area. Thanks Quote
salmicropterus Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Hmm..snakeheads in the Tamiami? Hope not and think not as this, to the best of my knowledge, would be the first one reported that far south. I have fished that area, mostly targeting peacocks. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted May 9, 2012 Super User Posted May 9, 2012 Oh boy. These things are traveling! That means they are in the Everglades! No stopping them now. Quote
piscicidal Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 The FWC officer at a recent snakehead roundup said they shocked one up at Loxahatchee. So they are definately in the glades... Quote
Rootaholic09 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 Oh it was definitely a snakehead. Mudfish don't fight nearly as hard as this fish did and I have never had a mudfish jump out the water as many times as this snakehead did. Quote
salmicropterus Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 I'm just skeptical that there would be a jump from the C-14system and Markham all the way down to the Tamiami without any reported catches in the L-67. Not picking on you but there have been a lot of reports and identifications of snakeheads that turned out to be muds-not to say that they aren't migrating and, no doubt, will be pervasive at some point in time Quote
