8=23 Aquia Snakeheads!

$20 launch fee at Hope Springs is a little steep, but Jeff C and I were on the water by 6:30 am.  Fishing was very slow.......I only had 4 hits that were hookups and Jeff only had one hit that did not get his mouse good.  All my hits were on a white mouse.  First fish was a 2-8 LMB.

About an hour later.....a 2-7 LMB

Then a 3 lb snakehead.

Last fish was a 27".......6 lb 4 oz snakehead.  It cleared the water by about 2 feet during the fight and was beastly until we got him into the net.

Then we got rained on.............a lot starting around 10 am.  We called it a day around 11:30.

All fish were caught deep in the pads.

I love the way they launch out of the water.....nice work!

You should try Mattingly Park (Slavins) on the Upper Mattawoman......$5 ramp fee and roughly the same distance as Hope Springs.


Time to go fishin' again!

Maybe we can go there on Labor Day?
