Diggy Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I've been concentrating on catching them to take a break from bass fishing. The funny thing is that I've also met some other people that fish for snakes. They complain to me about how they destroy the bass population and how they should be killed. They tell me they know some spots loaded with them but when I ask where, they are tight lipped and don't want to tell me. I asked, what happened to saving the bass and getting snakes out of our waters, murder murder murder, kill kill kill? *crickets chirp* I usually get the ol' ill see you later Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted July 18, 2012 Super User Posted July 18, 2012 That doesnt make any sense if they want them gone then y wouldn't you share your spot... if you at war you need more than one soilder on the battlefield Quote
Super User tomustang Posted July 18, 2012 Super User Posted July 18, 2012 They eating the snakeheads too? Quote
Diggy Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 They eating the snakeheads too? they just throw them on the bank Quote
Super User Sam Posted July 18, 2012 Super User Posted July 18, 2012 They are either BSing you or they have found a honey hole they do not want to share with anyone. They probably enjoy the fight once the snakeheads are hooked. We are to kill all snakeheads caught in Virginia waters. Although we need a long and hard freeze one winter to help reduce their numbers, it seems they are here to stay. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted July 18, 2012 Super User Posted July 18, 2012 Its because they know you wont kill them. 1 Quote
Shane Procell Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Its because they know you wont kill them. Nah...it's because they enjoy fishing for them and want to protect their own spot. Diggy makes a good point, and I believe he has nailed it. 1 Quote

Hyrule Bass Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 they just throw them on the bank so they can just crawl/walk right back into the water? perhaps theyre not helping as much as they think in reducing the numbers. really once theyre there in a water system, youre probably not gonna get rid of them at all, you can try to reduce numbers but theyll just breed some more.

They would need a cab to get back to the water from where they were throwing them. If the animals dont eat them, then you will smell them stinking up the area. When I use to dispose of them in the bush they would be dead within the hour covered in flies. The only time I've seen one get into the water is when they come off of the hook right on the shoreline or slide down off of an incline. Quote

As a lot of the guys on here(including myself), if i find a spot thats "loaded" with snakeheads, it won't be loaded by the time i leave, lol. I really enjoy catching these nasty fish, but i enjoy catching bass more. And i don't have an issue with showing someone a "loaded" snakehead honey hole if i have one. Matt Quote
