Maybe they should join up with us and get the real answers.

Snakeheads and Brats at the Clubhouse

Tuesday night, 07/12/2022, we are going to meet at the clubhouse.

David is preparing Bratwurst and all the fixings. Great continuing celebration of July 4th.

This is still the hottest time of the year. Lets try some hot freshwater fishing with snakeheads, peacocks, and maybe other cichlids too. None of them mind how hot it gets and they are all invaisve species.

We can discuss catching Snakeheads, and info on where to find them.

Outing scheduled for July 23, Saturday – target invasive species.

Bullseye snakeheads are predators that eat a wide range of animals: mainly small fish and crayfish, also cane toads, lizards, snakes, small turtles, and snails. This wide diet helps the bullseye snakehead survive in Florida, but also may reduce its impact on any particular native species.

They can breathe air (but cannot crawl on land), which may allow them to occupy habitats with poor water quality not suitable for many native fish species.

There is intel to review and to make a decision where to hunt them.

I will try to Zoom the meeting, but please plan on attending in person. Members only will get an email with the Zoom link.

See you there.
