Spinnerbait CRUSHING Snakehead: VKAE Snakehead Trail Stop #2 Rappahannock River; VA Fishing Tips

  • The Snakehead down on the Rappahannock River in Virginia fish DIFFERENT compared to virtually any other waters I've fished. They often occupy much different depths and sometimes structure than Snakehead I've caught elsewhere.
    I'd only been to this stretch of the Rappahannock River once before this tournament day (and that last time was two years ago), but I still managed to put together a very productive pattern for catching them.
    Did I take 1st place? What was the pattern I discovered? Watch and find out and have a good one! (Links to Gear, Lures, etc., below):

      Thanks Scott 🙏👊 The Rappahannock is an incredible river too.
      The headwaters have trout and a little further down some of the best smallmouth bass fishing around.
      Further south, great snakehead and giant blue cat fishing, as well as striped bass. At the mouth, it has saltwater species like Cobia. If I lived closer I’d fish it all the time.

    It seems like the northern snakehead behave a bit differently from the bullseye’s down here in south Florida. It’s cool to see them out in deeper water. I’m used to fishing for them right along the bank of canals in inches of water. Sick video.

    • @KambotroutFishing
      @KambotroutFishing  Год назад

      Thanks Zac 👊
      The Rappahannock River in this video fishes differently than most northern snakehead waters I’ve fished up here in MD, DE, and VA. I think it’s due to heavy Bowfishing pressure and the terrain of the river itself.
      Most other areas I fish for northerns they do relate to heavy grasses and shallow waters.

    • @KambotroutFishing
      @KambotroutFishing  Год назад

      Thanks brother 👊
      In most other waters, I usually don’t see snakehead go deeper until the colder months. That’s when they’ll either go to deeper water or hang on the channel edges.
      The Rappahannock snakehead are different though, and I think it’s a result of very heavy Bowfishing pressure which is causing a kind of accelerated adaptation in the snakehead.
      Essentially, the snakehead which are genetically predisposed to go shallow are getting destroyed by bowfishers and thus have less reproductive success.
      Conversely, those fish which are more predisposed to hang around deeper water are having better reproductive success, thus creating more snakehead with the same behavioral predisposition.
      That’s a very rough theory on my part though. No science to back it up, just my logical analysis.
