Who really knows Bucky? Vendor write off or DNR makes good on the gift card. Might have to catch me one or two and find out.

Unless it changed and I missed it, Snakes Heads are NOT C&R. Must be killed when caught in Maryland. And as I have NOT have the pleasure to catch one yet, I have heard that they are really good eating.

According to Maryland DNR:
"Anglers targeting snakehead must possess a valid Maryland fishing license but there are no seasons, no size limits and no creel limits. Harvested snakehead must be killed immediately after being caught if there is intent to keep the fish. Possession and/or transport of live snakehead is illegal under state and federal law. If the angler does not intend on keeping the fish, they may release it but must do so, immediately."
This is very similar to Virginia DWR regs--can release if not intending to keep, otherwise must kill if intending to keep.
Personally, I keep whatever I catch down here in NoVA; they're just too dang tasty!

I think the regs are basically saying that they can't get rid of them where they are, but we are going to throw the book at you if you carry live fish to transplant them to a new locale.

That is how rumor had it that they made it to the Chesapeake. There was a small pond in a near by county that someone had got rid of some pet snakehead fish. Either the pond trickled its way to the bay or someone took a catch there is all speculation. Either way, there they are.

Are they sctua)y in salt where Bob. I know they are around the Conowingo dam area, but that is brackish at best. If so then it's first I've heard of them being in salt.

F t, I haven't heard of them being caught in actual salt water as in the actual bay itself. But yet who knows they may be there.
The majority of the bay feeders are considered brackish to a certain point and what reports i have read and been told about, they are being caught in the tributaries.
At what point does the Conowingo dam area become tidal? Obviously this fish can adapt to almost any environment.

Cinowi go is only tidal to the dam itself. I haven't noticed to much Tidal flow within sight of the dam, but that doesn't mean there is none.

Plum.... $ amount determined by tag color? This program sounds like a great way to gather basic data, good for the angler, and lots easier than electro shocking.

It does sound like a good data resource. I plan on giving it a try after the M&G. Wonder how the DNR caught them to tag them.

Snakeheads can travel overland like an eel.
I have heard that Fgw, can't imagine coming across one while walking the shore line. I would probably be the one jumping in the water from being surprised by one at my feet.

Here's a vid showing how they do this. They're lungfish and can survive four days out of water: https://youtu.be/KuKyLcHd3lw
