MikeStaten Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I’d be interested too. My 9 year old son really wants to catch one. We tried for them in a lake in Virginia that has them. However, despite having a reputation of being very aggressive we never even got a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they are stacked in pretty good down there It’s even better further south. Any tributary along the Delaware is loaded. Lots of access spots for guys with kayaks. hammer4reel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazzgolf Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I've gone out a bunch of times but as usual I suck at fishing and haven't seen a single one. I know they are here... I fished the tributaries down here in the south. I just want to feel the fight, but I also plan on taking it home because, as @nb6624 says, I hear the meat is delicious. hammer4reel and nb6624 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpthestring Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Don't know why anybody would catch and release snake heads . Invasive species they are killing our native fish. nb6624, Bucksnbows and hunterbob1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invasive species they are killing our native fish. That ship sailed a long time ago . Those fish have been here a few decades already . And for the most part the fish native to NJ that they eat also need to be kept in check Prior to these introductions, the predominant freshwater sportfish native to New Jersey are Brook Trout, Pumpkinseed, Redbreast Sunfish, Yellow Perch, Chain Pickerel, White Catfish, Brown and Yellow Bullheads, and American Shad.

With that mindset , why bother even hunting Bears or yotes . Its a lost cause. TroutandBucks and Bucksnbows 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the state really wanted to do anything they would electroshock all over for them . if bears and yotes were left un controlled for 20 years , hunting them wouldn’t do anything either . FG is in charge of managing resources , and should have done something with them , as well as flatheads etc if they were really concerned . ‘how about we throw every bass on the bank too, they aren’t native .
