Targeting Snakeheads & Bowfin In New Jersey!! (Fishing The Swamps)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2023
- In this video I took an hour drive into New Jersey just across from the Delaware River in hopes of catching my first Northern Snakehead and my first Eyeball Bowfin. After trying on a topwater frog upon arriving to my first spot it did not take me long to have my first Snakehead on!!! The Bowfin would prove to be more of a challenge as the Snapping Turtles seemed to be more active than Bowfin at this point in the year.... Be sure to tune into the video for all the action!!

Thank you very much for replying bato me because I'm from Cambodia and we love those snakes heads fish ,in our country they are everywhere in fresh rice fields and everywhere in pot holders
Very cool! Some day I would love to travel outside the U.S to do more fishing. Plenty of unique species out there hiding in unique habitats like you have over there in Cambodia!
Love this spot. Heavily pressured spot but there is also some big bass in that lake.
Can i know the spot
I'm from woodbury nd never caught a bowfin
Dont listen to the ppl saying you are spot burning. Only ppl who have been there or are familiar with the spots you showed will pick up ok where you are. (Like me lol both are good spots and thats definitely a nice spot for bowfin watch out for the turtles i saw them everywhere last time i went there lol) but anyways keep up the video and you arent spot burning unless your saying exactly where you are. Keep catching fish
Thank you! Appreciate the positivity!
Good video. Just subscribed good luck
Appreciate it! Thank you!
❤ I have been looking for that spot
its in gibbsotwn
Yes I want to know the pla e too
Can I know the spot I'm from woodbury
Recommend that you trim the frog's legs, so that they'll strike closer to the body of the lure for better hook up ratio.
Thanks for the advice. I do that with most of my frogs but have a solid hook up ratio using the frog in the video the way it is. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it hahah
What type of line you using?,btw nice video wish it was that easy to catch them.
For the Snakehead I had on 12lb Stren Monofilament line. And yeah I got super lucky catching one on the first cast there no doubt about that 😅
@@TheVilleOutdoors yea I use 30 lb braid but so far just one fish follow my bait once
@@jarodbrenneman8661 I know the feeling. Despite their aggressive reputation Snakeheads can be rather picky about what they eat especially as it gets into the warmer Summer months. I would maybe try using a fluorocarbon leader to make your presentation slightly more natural
@@TheVilleOutdoors that's the leader I use but I don't know know if is the right weight (30 lb fluorocarbon) but I thing next time I'll use some minnow or get a small top water frog.
@@jarodbrenneman8661 you should be alright using a lighter leader 17-20lb Fluoro should be plenty unless you’re fishing super thick cover
I caught a bowfin on a chatter bait at one of those spots
Nice! I thought it would make sense since the water is so murky something flashy and noisy would be perfect. But unfortunately I didn’t have the same luck. Coulda just been the day/conditions
What part to at h that snake head fish
My apologies I didn’t quite understand your question. Would you mind rephrasing?
What's the spot
I am not going to disclose the exact location on here for risk of spot burning, but pretty much any swampy area connected to the main Delaware River should have both Snakehead and Bowfin
I’m in ocean county near island beach state park great fishing I fish the beaches . Great video bro tight lines .
@@frankcastle9991 Thanks man! Island Beach State Park is one of the spots I wanted to try at some point. I make a decent bit of day trips to the beaches during the summer.
@@TheVilleOutdoors 👍🏼summer is a good time over here on the beach with fluke or rays big and small. Spring and fall is Striped Bass and Bluefish is my favorite on any of the local beaches. Most of my friends are freshwater fishermen in the Manalapan/ freehold area we’ll hit the res and big ponds or lakes around there like Assumpink . Not sure were any bowfins and snakeheads are near us but they are fun to catch. I caught a 11.5 had pounder in a canal in Florida . Had my Berkeley digital scale with me. Tight lines be safe.
@@frankcastle9991 Awesome stuff 🤙 tight lines to you as well!!
Can you give me the address here to play?
I don’t have an address for here, but a majority of the marshy areas connected to the Delaware River should hold both Snakehead and Bowfin on the Jersey side
@@TheVilleOutdoors thank you
id ask where this is but i know how stingy yall are. thanks for the video.
Based on the rest of the comment section I probably shouldn’t give away the spot on here lol…..
@@TheVilleOutdoors don’t blame you, it’s a shame. I’ll always comply with regulation. Tight lines
i don’t kill them, bass are more invasive. good video tho
Truth be told I released the Snakehead unharmed, but said what I said to please the other side of the argument lol. In open water there’s no point in killing them. As fast as they spread they’re here to stay and honestly more fun than bass in my opinion.
@@TheVilleOutdoors yeah they are awesome fish, they put up an amazing fight.
Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard lol
@@TheVilleOutdoorsThanks... there is a reason why its invasive....
Where at???
Probably not the best idea for me to drop the location on here publicly. But if you have the app Fishbrain you can go to the map and filter by species to find Northern Snakehead. Some people leave the catch location on and that’ll give you an idea of where to find these things
I would like to know the place too Please
@@leapong5936 I can’t give away the direct location on here due to spot burning but pretty much any marshy area that is fed by the Delaware River will have Snakeheads

This spot sees alot of pressure as it is try not filming the road next time please. That is privately owned i already cleaned that spot up once due to people trashing it its exrtemly easy to get spots shut down by doing things like this. Thank you.
I appreciate your concern and I understand the issue of spot burning and keeping the environment clean, but as I mentioned in a previous comment, I do not mention the name of the road or the nearest town in the video. The small handful of fishermen that see this video and are familiar enough with the area to pick out the exact location which is only featured in the first 5 minutes of the video probably already know the spot. Once again I appreciate the concern as I understand the issue but my channel is not near big enough to actually make an impact like that.

People literally throw garbage out the window on every road in NJ. What makes this any different
@@bigscrap84 because it's now shut down you can't even fish the bridge now genius
@@mustluvkatina clearly your lack of intellect is what made you name call for absolutely no reason. I am glad you can't fish there anymore. Have a nice day
Geez man that spot gets enough pressure , try to atleast keep roadways out of videos
I don’t mention the name of the road or even the county in the video. If the handful of people who are fisherman and are familiar enough with with the area and actually watch this video I think they’ll already know about the spot. I appreciate your concern but if I had thousands of subscribers I’d be more concerned about spot burning, but that is not the case. So my videos will be filmed as I film them until I deem that a problem that needs attention.
Agreed flukewhisperer that spot sees way too much pressure as it is
Agree with blowing up the spot. Don’t be that guy and have a little respect for your fellow fisherman
@@richb3250 If I wanted to blow up the spot I would drop the exact coordinates and put it in the subtitles. From what can be seen in the video only those already familiar with the area will be able to pick up on where it’s at.
He can show what ever he wants it’s public
