4. Tidal striped bass : na
5. Redfish : na
6. Speckled Trout : na
7. Bluefish : na

1. Snakeheads- topwater frog- sometimes jerk baits
2. Tidal Potomac largemouth bass- rattletrap
3. Upper Potomac smallmouth bass-deadsticking a fluke/jerkbait
4. Tidal striped bass- dependes on time of year- go to is a tandem buck tail
5. Redfish- gulp shrimp
6. Speckled Trout- gulp shrimp
7. Bluefish- gotcha plug or metal-but if they're there anything works
8. White Perch- bloodworms
Etc……I have never caught one of these

[dsiekman]

4. Striped bass - trolled bass assassin in glow with red tail on red jig head
8. WP - red or white sonic vibric inline spinner

[dtandrade]

1. Snakeheads = on my to catch list this year
2. Tidal Potomac largemouth bass = NA
3. Upper Potomac smallmouth bass = NA
4. Tidal striped bass = 3/8oz jig head with 4" berkley gulp swimming mullet
5. Redfish = NA
6. Speckled Trout = small jighead with a 1- 2" white or chartruese mister twister
7. Bluefish = NA
8. White Perch = same as trout

[archeryrob]

1. Snakeheads - Minnow imitations, Fluke or spinnerbait. Guys tend to default to frogs for weedless but snakeheads eat more fish than anything.
2. Tidal Potomac largemouth bass - wacky worm, Dinger,
3. Upper Potomac smallmouth bass - crankbait worked on the dead stick
4. Tidal striped bass - ratt-l-trap or Bomber jerk bait worked on the ebb tide from shallow to the channel. Action: rip, pause, rip, pause, rip
5. Redfish - not enough experience
6. Speckled Trout - not enough experience
7. Bluefish - anything shiny, they are stupid and voracious.
8. White Perch - Inline spinner, small spinnerbait or beetlespin

[Pinch]

1. N/A
2. N/A
3. N/A
4. BKD/ LIVE BAIT
5. GULP!
6. 3-5'' plastic swim baits/ Mirrolures

[Grady-Black]

Not to toot my own horn, but I have caught 2 - 8 all on my Custom bucktails.
and how about #9. Flounder, and #10 for Rock also! All on my Customs..
Haven't fished for #1. yet.

Probably not the most effective, but I have caught all of these except SM at least once on a 1/8 to 1/4oz Beetle Spin with a 2 to 3" curly tail. Even a few catfish have taken the Beetle Spin.

[Mark]

I have caught numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 on Clouser Minnows of various color patterns. Chartreuse over white is my preference.

I have also caught croakers, bream, rock bass, catfish and fresh water pickerel on Clousers.

I think the Clouser Minnow is the most versatile and effective fly for both tidal and freshwater.

I have never caught a snakehead or redfish on any lure or fly or bait.

[wedge]

1. chatterbaits, hollow body frogs, buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, and a live target mouse
2. the same lures that catch SH + crankbaits, rubber worms, jigs w craw trailers, and jerk baits
3. tubes, spinners, buzzbaits, crawfish jigs
4. NA
5. NA
6. NA
7. NA
8. spinnerbaits etc.

Great topic.

[Capt C-Hawk]

1. Snakeheads - Surface frogs and weedless rigged white swimbait.
2. Tidal Potomac largemouth bass - White chatterbait or weedless rigged zoom brush hog (water melon)
3. Upper Potomac smallmouth bass - Chartreuse gulp curly tail on 1/8 oz painted head. Can't beat the fun of a little surface plug early in the morning
4. Tidal striped bass - 4" shad assassin in chartreuse or opening night on a 3/8 oz matching lead head in shallow water. Love a chug bug on top just as the sun sets till just after dark.
5. Redfish - Strike King's redfish magic, gold spoon and the lures listed for stripers.
6. Speckled Trout - 1/4 oz jighead with plastic on the hook
7. Bluefish - Best on small silver spoons. can't afford to feed them plastic all day
8. White Perch - Woody lure or a clone. Grady Black ties a nice one that I can't wait to try. Also the same jig/gulp as the SMB with a 1/2" piece of fishbite for flavor.
9. Croaker - Store bought shrimp on top/bottom rig with circle hooks
10. Blue cats - They'll eat anything, but if I'm fishing for them I use cut mullet on 6/0 circle hooks with a slip sinker

[Followme438]

1. Topwater Frog (Scum Frog in white with red legs)
2. Baby Bass Senkos texas rigged, or white/gold/chartreuse buzz bait
3-8. Never caught
