I’ve been doing some bowfishing, lately, but I’ll always bring a rod rigged up for some topwater action. I can paddle into some skinny water on the hunt for snakeheads. This snakehead torpedoed a topwater popper frog in the open … Continue reading “Bow fishing for snakehead on the Potomac, by John Dillon”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":210,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-category"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/210"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8414"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26138,"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8414\/revisions\/26138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wavewalk.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>I can paddle into some skinny water on the hunt for snakeheads.<\/p>\n<\/a>This snakehead torpedoed a topwater popper frog in the open water.<\/p>\n<\/a>Here’s a fattie I pierced with an arrow.<\/p>\n<\/a>I knock out the fish with the hammer, then store it inside the W500 kayak.

When I see a snakehead I can quietly lay my paddle across the W500 and then take a shot.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
