I heard the have a feroucious appetite. Id try some live bait like worms, crawfish, shad, small bluegill, etc.

Just get in the water,they'll find you

They are an aggressive predator fish. If using artificial lures, cranks and top-waters.

From what I've seen top water might be a good place to start, an have some long plyers to get the hooks out lol.

We catch a ton of snakeheads and similar bowfins around here. Usually get them on cut bait when fishing for cats.

Slap a chunk of any kind of cut fish on a carolina rig and let it marinade. If there is a snakehead around he will find it.

I've caught them on a quick retrieve with top water baits, or as everyone has said...they're predators so live bait/chumming will draw them out. And I don't know about specific regulations where you live, but when I catch one, I kill it on site. They can become serious problems to native species both directly and indirectly
