What are snakeheads?
Snakeheads can become invasive species and cause ecological damage because in many areas to which they are not native, the absence of natural enemies gives them apex predator status. Not only can they breathe air, but they can also survive on land up to four days, provided they are wet, and are known to migrate up to 400 m (1/4 mi) on wet land to other bodies of water by wriggling with their bodies and fins. The snakeheads are members of the freshwater perciform fish family Channidae, native to parts of Africa and Asia. These elongated, predatory fish are distinguished by their long dorsal fins, large mouths, and shiny teeth. They breathe air with gills, which allows them to migrate short distances over land. They have suprabranchial organs, which are primitive forms of labyrinth organs that develop when they grow older.
What are techniques for fishing snakeheads?
When fishing for snakes pay close attention to the banks and shallow flats. Polarized sunglasses will help spot them from a distance. They spook easily, don't stomp up to the bank and cast. Snake heads like to chill on the shoulders of the bank with heavy cover and deep vegetation with a muddy bottom. Also, look for structure and shade. They are ambush predators. Snakehead fish do not school once you have caught one keep on moving further along the bank. Don't stick around at the same spot. That will most likely just produce largemouth bass strikes. Cast and reel parallel to the bank to stay in the strike zone.
What is a crappie fish?
The Pomoxis species are highly regarded pan fish and are often considered to be among the best-tasting freshwater fish. Because of their diverse diets, crappie may be caught in many ways, including casting light jigs, trolling with minnows or artificial lures, using small spinnerbaits, or using bobbers. Crappies are also popular with ice-anglers, as they are active in winter. The current all-tackle fishing world record for a black crappie is (5.4 lb) and for a white crappie is (5.2 lb).
What is a fishing charter?
Simply put, it's an excursion service offered by boat owners and professional fishers or fishing guides
which brings guests out onto a body of water for a set period in hopes of catching fish. These charters are often rented at set rates per time limit or can be customized to meet the needs of the group. Private charters give you a completely tailored fishing experience. Fish at your own pace and target the species that you want. If you don't know much about fishing, the captain will teach you the basics and help you bring the fish aboard. On top of all that, you get your own personal fishing guide
who can tell you about the area. Call Apex Predators to start your fishing adventure!
