Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Snakehead

What's the proper way to set the hook for snakeheads?

Hook setting has been sort of mysterious to me. I watch bass anglers on TV feel the take, wait literally two seconds, then... yank! I don't understand why that amount of waiting is helpful because I assume the fish will spit it out by then.

I had some success last weekend targeting the snakeheads. Of course my hook setting left a lot to be desired as I had a2 good sighted snakehead takes and a couple other takes that could have been snakehead.  I let my nerves get the best of me, but I will hopefully be a bit more dialed in next time.

Hi all, I have been fishing in new places lately and one such place is know for snakehead.  I have seen the snaggers out in force as of late but have not spotted any snakehead myself.  I'd like to try to target them on the fly and have been focusing my attention around mid day, falling tide.   The weeds are not in thick yet, so I've been looking around docks and rocks.  

Those of you that have had success with these fish. have you noticed any specific times of days, tides, types of days to have consistencies in spotting/catching fish?

Thanks,
