» MuskieBait - 16-05-14:37 -- Snakehead is just one of the offenders in the Potomac...the issue is multifactorial...
» MuskieBait - 16-05-14:36 -- So while you are trying to protect native species, by using rotenone, you are also kiling the native species at the same time...does it really accomplish anything?
» MuskieBait - 16-05-14:36 -- However, Rotenone is such a poor management tool. It is non-specific...it does not discriminate between native vs. non-native species...
» MuskieBait - 16-05-14:35 -- They are not immune to rotenone. The original discovery of snakehead in a pond at Crofton, MD was eradicated by rotenone and draining.
» OldTimer - 16-05-14:00 -- Several selective piscicides are under development for the unwanteds, but I understand use is years away. Are snakehead immune to rotenone?
» Eli - 16-05-08:18 -- if snakeheads are the biggest predators of snakeheads (which they are)...does killing snakeheads to thin their numbers make sense?
» OldTimer - 16-05-05:38 -- Seems LMB anglers are buttonless.
» MichaelAngelo - 15-05-23:24 -- Sounds like I have some driving to do Tongue
» MuskieBait - 15-05-23:03 -- LOL. I know...just trying to push buttons LOL.
» Eli - 15-05-22:47 -- alls I'm saying is that the LMBs were a nuisance when trying to get the snakehead to bite....
» MuskieBait - 15-05-20:58 -- Kill all LMB...save the NSH!!! Wink
» MuskieBait - 15-05-20:58 -- Exactly...many people don't realize that the Largemouth Bass is just as, if not more, aggressive and invasive as the Northern Snakehead in that area.
» Eli - 15-05-20:23 -- ...and LMB is a species which is just as exotic to that area as is the snakehead
» Eli - 15-05-20:21 -- They make other species look lame and tame.. and believe me, there's no shortage of largemouth bass in the snakehead waters of the DC area
» Eli - 15-05-20:20 -- Being (I think) the only other member here who has caught Northern Snakehead, I fully agree with Ken!
» MuskieBait - 15-05-19:17 -- I do not know cuda and wahoo to exist in freshwater. If cuda and wahoo can be established in freshwater system such as the Potomac and the Great Lakes, let me know and I'll be the first to start targeting them.
» OldTimer - 15-05-18:21 -- including cuda and wahoo?
» MuskieBait - 15-05-17:24 -- OT, you should catch one and see for yourself. They make fishing for other species seems lame and tame.
» MuskieBait - 15-05-17:22 -- You're right...Largemouth Bass is lame Tongue LOL
» OldTimer - 15-05-17:21 -- ...............Opinions may vary
» MuskieBait - 15-05-16:21 -- Trust me...once you fish for them, you would want them around LOL.
» MuskieBait - 15-05-16:20 -- Looking at the USGS invasive map, I can tell you there is no reported capture from my fishing location, but the surrounding areas had snakeheads reported. The area where I caught it is a bit more of a seasonal use area according to my friend Pat...and perhaps a significant spawning area...hence my non-participation Wink
» MuskieBait - 15-05-16:17 -- Trust me, the scientist in me greatly want to help, but the snakehead angler in me is a bit stronger LOL
» MuskieBait - 15-05-16:16 -- I'll be calling in general catch information and provide some general info...that certification and reward sounds attractive LOL
» MuskieBait - 15-05-16:16 -- Yep, as I suspect, it was a Maryland study...with the exact same phone number.
» OldTimer - 15-05-14:36 -- MB - river is blown out and will rise again tonight
» OldTimer - 15-05-14:26 -- cant
» OldTimer - 15-05-14:25 -- Reports and kills are optional now. You just can have a live one in possession.
» OldTimer - 15-05-14:24 -- I believe the catch location state has abandoned aggressively trying to control this species
» zippyFX - 15-05-14:22 -- The scientist in me is always eager to collect and provide data I guess
» zippyFX - 15-05-14:21 -- I guess this is the tagging project: http://www.fws.gov/northeast/marylandfis...ehead.html
» zippyFX - 15-05-14:17 -- Just wondering because you are depriving some researcher of a data point that could be important. ?You need to help fill int hat scatter plot (even if you fudge it a bit).
» OldTimer - 15-05-14:10 -- http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/fishing/snakehead-faq.asp
» MuskieBait - 15-05-12:41 -- We're all human LOL Wink
» MuskieBait - 15-05-12:41 -- If you are a smallie enthusiast and all of a sudden a non-native smallie population shows up at your favourite fishing spot...will you report it? Wink
» MuskieBait - 15-05-12:39 -- Since you already read my original post, you know where it was caught. Wink
» MuskieBait - 15-05-12:39 -- Because it's like saying reporting and killing one single Round Goby from Lake Ontario will do much good.
» zippyFX - 15-05-12:30 -- MB Why won't you report it?
» MuskieBait - 14-05-16:19 -- Yeah...I know...it blows! *pun intended*
» OldTimer - 14-05-16:19 -- More rain on its way over next 2 days
» MuskieBait - 14-05-16:18 -- Stupid rain going to mess up Vic Day plans...hope the river doesn't rise too much...looks perfect now!
» OldTimer - 14-05-16:17 -- Gesundheit
» MuskieBait - 14-05-16:16 -- Zeus...
» OldTimer - 14-05-16:15 -- Magic Lightning
» MuskieBait - 14-05-16:15 -- Ah, yes.
» OldTimer - 14-05-16:14 -- Not now.
» MuskieBait - 14-05-16:14 -- I wasn't going to say anything...but...16!
» OldTimer - 14-05-16:12 -- Good plug pulling there MA...........
» MuskieBait - 14-05-13:25 -- Snakeheads are FUN!!! Got one with a tag but not going to report and definitely no going to kill as instructed. Report to come.
» MichaelAngelo - 13-05-21:50 -- LOL nice find
