Is this your 1st snakie?

Well done.......thanks for try report!

Nice catch!

I almost got another one this past Sunday.  I was all over my bait but never actually got it. 

Andrew do you kayak fish much?  Also what do you fish for?

Holey, I do kayak fish. Not as much as I used to but I try and get out more. I lost one of my local fishing buddies (he decided fish were the wrong tail to chase)

I fish for bass mostly but I don't discriminate.

Ernie, haha no. none in the tanks. It surprises a lot of people. I've hooked up with a few. never landed.

I would love to go this friday but...i have bronchitis i took a lot of sick leave so even if i was feeling better, I have work to catch up on. I'll email you my number. text or call me the next time you get out.

I'm dying to get a snakehead under my belt. My boat is at Columbia Island Marina and I've heard they are in the Lagoon there. I'm going to start looking harder...

I got a bigger one the other day.  It was 7.5 lbs and 29.5".  I launched near roaches run.

I fished in that Roaches Run basin yesterday too, early morning until about 10am.  I worked almost the entire perimeter.  First time checking it out.  One of many places I've been meaning to check out at least once.  I hooked up with several LMB with a horny toad, hoping to catch a snakehead.  Largest was 16".  Never saw any snakeheads.  Also caught my first ever gar. 30"  Caught on a bitsy minnow crankbait by the outflow under the GW Pkwy.

After that I went down to Jones point until noon.  Caught two blue cats, one around 22-24", the other the smallest I've ever caught, maybe 12".  It was really choppy out there when not behind the bridge walls.

@T, very cool catching the gar. Do they normally hit lures? How was the fight?

They'll hit fish-like baits, but the bony mouths are hard to hook up with most of the time.  It didn't fight as hard a cat fish.
