The BEST Snakehead Fishing In Virginia - NEW PB 

I wish I would’ve been fly fishing exclusively back then man. A snake on the fly would’ve been sick! And brother I feel you on the long walk out there. Forgot my yak wheels one time and had to carry all my stuff. AWFUL.

Lol, i just realized my channel profile picture is @crows nest ! 🤣🤪🤙🏻

@@cliffkolsoniii haha, hell yeah brother! Get you some snakes, if you haven’t any other questions I might could answer just holler at me here or IG.

I always drag my kayak on the ramp. Not sure how long until it wears a hole

Thanks man, I feel better I’m not the only one! Lol. I kept telling myself to count to three and by the time I left VA I still couldn’t do it every time.

@@DiscoveryPal478 it’s in stafford.

Thanks brother. I’m sure the 18 pounders help a little bit too.

@@GTFOutside a little 😏😜

I loved it over there but yeah the walk is the biggest down fall. Forgot my yak wheels one time and had to haul it down that. Never made that mistake again.

Where is this?? I would trade Phenomenal Smallmouth fishing on the Susquahanna if someone put me on snakeheads

Crows Nest

Thank you! It’s a go pro hat clip, here’s the Amazon link I used. www.amazon.com/Sametop-Backpack-Compatible-Session-Cameras/dp/B01BSE454S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=1VN0IA2D66Y0T&keywords=gopro+hat+clip&qid=1656964887&sprefix=go+probhat+clip%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVTVWNFVGSEJIWjYmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAyMjU4OTNCTDZJVUNVNFlVUlQmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDEyOTU5NTNCQlFJTkRKUEcwOEsmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

@@TheFishingJunky18 thanks brotha. One of my older vids, wish I could go back and refilm it lol. When I get back down south to FL I’m going to go after some bullseye. Did you fish for northerns?

@@GTFOutside yes sir, I’m originally from Maryland, I’ve been in Colorado for a 20 something years. My pops still lives in MD so I go back once in a while. Checkout my snake video, probably some of my best work. I have the Key Bridge in it, was the summer before it fell.

@@TheFishingJunky18 hell yeah brother I’ll check it out for sure when I’m back at the house. Wife had the day off so we’re out picking some wild Alaskan berries

I’ll def keep that in mind.

Usually in fishing, if you stay in the spot all day you don’t catch much. I think, for most people, that goes without saying. Great comment!

That’s wild man. Had no idea they were in New Jersey. They spread like wild fire.

No sir I haven't.

Thanks my dude! To be honest with you I’ve never caught a bullseye down here in Florida. I need to make a trip more south. When I was fishing for these up in VA I threw softer hollow body frogs and paddle tails with under spins. I could typically see where they were and most of the time they would eat if I could get it close enough.

I haven’t man! I stayed around Stafford/Fburg area mostly. Thanks for the sub brother.

Of course man, that sounds great. I appreciate it!

Thanks man! Stafford area. Around Aquia.

@@reecedeavers06 hell yeah dude how’d you do??

@@GTFOutside not a single bite😂 low tide, i guess they were still in the lilly’s

Dude they’re a freaking blast. I’m heading back to Florida in a month and I’ll miss catching them but I miss my home waters a good bit and I’m stoked to go back.

@RJ Fishing let's go get some bullseyes in the yaks....I went yesterday caught like 6 or 7 and a couple bass

@@notnekfishing954 hell yeah bro I’m always down. I haven’t caught any peas or clowns either. I need to get down that way.

Aquia Creek

Good luck out there!! Thank you ma’am. They’re some really squirrelly fish, not a crazy fight on the line but once you net them they go nuts.

Crows Nest kayak launch

Hey man, I’d get there right at 8 when they open the gates and work the edges of the main channel with a frog. Cast as much as possible to cover as much ground but keep your eyes peeled, they give themselves up more often than not. You’ll see them come up for air, splash around or chase bait on top. Once the water level is a little higher push back into the marshy stuff and push your way around looking for any signs of life and cast at them.

Hey man, in the other comments people have said it's the "Crow's Nest Kayak Launch"

In Virginia you just need your fishing license for fresh water to fish for them.

I know some people do, I haven't. I'm typically just C&R but I've heard they're delicious.

Sorry this is late, but we eat every one we catch. They are just like flounder

Yes sir

Just the angle. I haven't seen them lose color at all.

The color fades as they sit in the ice.

Thanks brother! Got something planned for when I get back next month. I’ll make a post soon.

Thanks man! It was up in Stafford.

Hell yeah dude! Good stuff. I appreciate the sub!

Chickahominy

@ rj snakeheads a lil closer to home

These fish are psychos man. An absolute blast.

Crows Nest

Crow's Nest

A lot of people in Virginia do. I’ve heard it’s a very good tasting fish. Both fish went home with my friend for him to eat and he said they were fantastic.

Good eating fish , you should try

Thanks brother, I really appreciate it.

Thanks brother!

My dude! Thanks brother.

Yeah I’ve seen some people catch them out of there for sure. Tons of gar too, they bump into my yak all the time.

@@GTFOutside oh yeah. Cut bluegill lasts like 2 minutes top in that place, lol.

@@Bobbystairfishing damn dude. I had a blast when I was up there with the snakes. Didn’t even think about them cats lol.

Is this aquia?

There’s a TON of them in there for sure. I only spent a few months up there but caught loads of them and they’re a blast.

i currently live in fredericksburg

They are actually catch and release now

Crows Nest.

@@stanhuie3836 if you look up crows nest kayak launch you’ll see it.

@@GTFOutside, thank you, I will check it out. Thank you for the heads-up

RJ, I have been checking out spots on the Rappahannock River and have yet to catch any snakehead. Let me know if you har of good spots. Thanks again for the heads up on the crows Nest Preserve.

@@stanhuie3836 of course man! I almost exclusively fished that spot when I lived there but if I hear anything from my buddies out that way I’ll holler at you.

@@stanhuie3836 check out any of the creeks that run into the rappahannock or lily pad sections on the tidal section. They are up past the fall line. They are being caught all the was up to the confluence. I hooked into one just down river from there a few years ago. Check the creeks the flow into and shallow grassy sections

Thanks brother! Going to have some new videos soon. Been moving around and every thing is a mess.

@@GTFOutside I understand. Keep pushing and fishing 💪

Thanks man. I probably won’t go until later this week. Way too many people out on holiday weekends.

I made the mistake of going there while the snakes were spawning. Lots of action with zero bites 🥲. Thanks for making me wanna go back though 😂

@@marcustorres6744 mannnn that’s how my last trip out there was. Super slow day. Just got one small one.

@@GTFOutside Went last weekend, got one over 10lbs when I was heading back to the dock accepting defeat.

@@lonellrodgers8539 dude HELL YEAH that’s awesome. Same spot?

20lbs braid and no leader.

@@GTFOutside ...Thanks, for responding so quick. Awesome video. Im in Fredericksburg any idea or advice for when the Snakeheads are running good. Serms right now is maybe towards the end of shad sesson, and last few years it has seemed to be in late may & june even into july that they find their spots to feed and around then the gar come in too. But i heard a fisherman ssy when the gat run the snakeheads retract so to speak ¿...

@@cliffkolsoniii I had good luck from Early May to mid June the summer I lived in Stafford. Once the water got too hot they got a bit lethargic. It should be picking up right about now. I’d hit crows nest in Stafford if you haven’t, went there a ton and always had decent enough luck.

@@GTFOutside yeahhhh man crow nest is awesome... im gonna hit upstream from the falmouth bridge i think, i have seen them, seen big ones in a fishermans hands but havent caught one myself. Funny fyi that top water lure is the sam i lost a monster last year but i had mono 12lb test and the line cut like the wind but definately a snake.. . Any braid recomend on the line brand or color¿ ...

@@cliffkolsoniii Man, I used beyond braid in a bunch of dif colors, It didn't seem to make a difference. They were either going to go after the frog like a savage or not lol.
