What anglers say about Snakehead fishing
- 5.0/5(8 Hour Trip)
Excellent experience!
My guide John was very experienced. He delivered on all promises and I really enjoyed fishing with him. He provided all the gear and assisted you througout the process. I highly recommend him if you want to make memories that last. Another thing, the lunch offered on the trip was fantastic, Pad Thai (chicken or prawns).

Non stop catches
great session with Chris, put me straight into the fish and learned a lot about catching both peacocks, snakehead and tarpon so I could make the most of my trip to Miami and get some solo fishing in. caught countless peacocks and a couple of snakehead, also some bonus tarpon

Fantastic fishing trip in Ft Lauderdale
My son and I had an AMAZING time fishing with Fishing with Jake. Ron could not have been more friendly and generous with his guidance and expertise in these beautiful fishing spots in Ft Lauderdale. We couldn’t leave without claiming a couple t shirts to commemorate the successful trip. Between the two of us we caught over a dozen fish, the majority being Peacock Bass. Can’t recommend these folks enough. Thanks again!!!
- 5.0/5(Half Day Trip – Potomac Bass)
Great day on the water!
Today was my son’s 22nd birthday and he wanted to go fishing. We had a great time and we caught bass and snakehead fish. Ken was knowledgeable of the area, very friendly and knew a lot about fishing. I personally haven’t fished in a long time and Ken was very patient and helpful. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this fishing experience.
About Snakehead fishing
There's an entire family of fish who go by the name Snakehead, ranging in size from less than 1 foot to 6 feet long. If you ever come face-to-face with one, you'll be able to tell based on its unmistakable appearance. All Snakeheads have a long dorsal fin and a snake-like head with large scales. Needless to say, the name says it all when it comes to these fish!
How Big?
Many Snakehead species grow 12-35'' (30-90 cm) long. Some of the smallest species, such as the aptly named Dwarf Snakehead, grow no longer than 10'' (25 cm), while the largest member of the family (Cobra Snakehead) can reach up to 70'' (180 cm).
When and Where
Snakehead are native to Asia and Africa, but some species have been introduced to other parts of the world, as well. While Africa has four different species of Snakehead (one of them only known to exist based on fossils found by scientists), Asia boasts 36 species of its own.
Snakehead is a popular target for recreational anglers in Thailand, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian countries. Of all the species inhabiting freshwater lakes and rivers in the region, Giant and Striped Snakehead are the most prevalent and popular gamefish. These predators are revered for their ferocious fighting power, food value, and medicinal purposes.
Recreational anglers sometimes catch invasive Snakehead species in parts of Florida, where this fish is seen as more of a nuisance than a prized catch. Snakehead are often misidentified as Bowfin, a similar species native to North America.
Giant Snakehead caught in Bangkok, Thailand
How to Fish
Like true snakes, Snakehead are territorial and aggressive. They strike a variety of topwater lures viciously and will put your tackle to the test. For most species, you can count on a 6-7' medium-heavy rod and either a spinning or baitcasting reel loaded with 40-50 lb test braided line. You can also catch these on a fly rod. A 30-40 lb test fluorocarbon shock leader is recommended. Effective lures include deep divers, surface frog lures, and buzz-bait.
Good to Eat?
Snakehead meat has very few bones and is an important ingredient in many cultural dishes. In Vietnam, people eat this fish pickled or in clay-pot dishes. In Indonesia, Snakehead is a key component of traditional dishes such as pucung gabus. More than merely tasty, some say this fish has healing properties and should be eaten after having an operation.
