Snakehead fishing is never easy, but some days have the snakes more active than others. On this particular day in early May, the snakeheads in Maryland were not very active at all. A lot of people would have seen the inactivity and called it quits after an hour or two, but personally I decided to put in the time and effort to catch these snakeheads, and it paid off.

In this video you'll see the tactics and strategies I used to catch both northern snakeheads and bass on a day where neither species wanted anything to do with the lures that I was putting in front of them. I tried a variety of lures to catch these Maryland snakeheads, but the one lure that I ended up catching everything on was the snakehead outlawz venom frog.

If y'all want to see me and/or Matty return to Maryland for some more northern snakehead fishing, let us know down in the comment section! Also, let us know what tactics you use to get snakeheads to bite when the bite is tough!

IMPORTANT NOTE: While Snakeheads are a non-native species, biologists have discovered over the last few years that the damage they cause to the ecosystem is not nearly what was once expected. Many bodies of water containing these fish have successfully adapted to their presence. I encourage you to thoroughly research the data that is out their regarding snakeheads before you make an uninformed comment saying that we should have killed the fish. That being said, everyone is entitled to their opinion regarding these fish. We simply ask that your opinion be formed on actual data and research, not what you heard from a friend or read on facebook.

The body of water that we fished already has a healthy population of snakeheads. Killing a few fish would do absolutely nothing in regards to eradicating the species from that body of water. Instead, you'd be wasting the life of a perfectly good gamefish. Here at Orange 22 Fishing, we encourage you to practice catch and release on all species of fish, including snakeheads. We will continue to do so, and we hope you will do the same as well.

No matter your opinion on this topic, we do thank you for watching our video and supporting our channel!

Tight lines,
Dave and Matt
