August 24 and 25th Report

Father and son on Wed evening had a few blowups on the toad and a very rare Pickerel caught. Fished way back in the flooded pads and missed so many fish. But it was the first time for them targeting snakeheads. The LGMouth are now feeding at night so not a lot of action from them.



On Thursday I had a father and daughter. Dad could fish and covered lots of water with long casts. Paid off with two snakehead and one of them made it to the boat. The nice young lady is holding his snakehead. She got pretty good at casting by end of evening.

That's a very nice pickerel!! You fish the tidal creeks of the Potomac, right? I have never caught a pickerel out of the Potomac and don't hear about them being caught there very often. Cool!

It has been 20 years since they disappeared. Caught a small one last and the year before but nothing as big as this one. Redfin pickerel caught many times but very few chain pickerel. Also to note that the snakehead had been caught before.
