Snagging

[Pee Wee]

Any of you guys snag? I have never done this till last weekend I went below Ozark dam and snagged some catfish and two spoonbills, went back yesterday and probably hit 200 fish all buffalo I think only landed 10 nothing like hittin a 30lb buffalo in the tail in 100 mile an hour water, ate some of those buffalo tonight not bad these were the first ones I had ever tried to eat.

Rattle m up you would have been better off stating you all snagged them drum instead of catching them. LOL :D

There is nothing like hitting a big head carp of any size. This is the hardest fighting fish in the water. I snag at the St. Francis Spill Way mostly and my largest Big Head is 52 lbs. I have caught a 67 lb Spoonbill. And several others.
I have had fish on that would go over 80 lbs but did not land them. (yes I had witnesses) It is
one of the most fun sports out there. It stinks now with the 2 fish spoonbill limit. After you catch two spoons you are done. This time of year that could be in 5 min. Good Luck in your new sport.

I do a little snagging at the St.Francis river siphons. Biggest I ever snagged and landed was a flathead that would go a little over 20 lbs.

You get some big ass hooks,real strong line,heavy duty rod&rell,find a dam or spill way of some type,tie your sinker on the end of your line and tie your hook about a foot or so up from your sinker,then toss your line out into the running water,let it sink, and then yank it real hard again and again and again,untill you get a fish. graemlins/thumb.gif

I went back to Ozark this morning and the water was just too high to snagg. Yeah hitting in fish in that swift current is like hitting a truck with your hook just hang on and enjoy the ride.
