We got to the four mile run river with my canoe equipped with minn kota c2 30 lbs push trolling motor and my new toy Raymarine Dragonfly 7 and began fishing. There were 2 nice looking bass fishing boats just arrived in the area and fished with us. One fisherman caught a nice 28" snakehead and he was banging the snakehead with something against his gunwale of his fancy nice looking bass boat with 250 hp powerful outboard motor. The sound caught my attention even he was about a good 50 yards away. So, we went over to check his snakehead and hoping to get a picture of it. But, no his snakehead got away from his line after being hit by him - LOL.We continued to fish and caught 3 large mouth bass - one bigger than the other. I caught some amazing sonar image from my Dragonfly 7. A carp and a turtle image at 9 feet of water at the intersection of the four mile run river and Potomac river. The water temperature was 62 to 64 degrees and the air temperature was 70 degrees. Very warm December day, people were hiking, biking, running on the bike/walk trail along the river and enjoying the good weather.
We told another nice bass fishing boat 2 fishermen and they told us they picked up a snakehead upriver as well.
Bummer, we were the only one didn't catch the snakeheads. Oh well, until next time.
I've been looking for some tips on where to catch largemouth since I moved here 5 years ago. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Can't wait to get out there!
