Tigertail Pond 2

Tigertail Pond 2 is a quiet stillwater fishery, and that steadiness works in your favor with bullseye snakehead—no tide charts to juggle, just light, temperature, and cover. These fish sit tight to structure: matted pads, shoreline grass lines, and any sunken wood or brush piles hold them, especially where that cover meets open water. They ambush from the edges, so work the seams rather than blind-casting the middle.

Early morning and late evening are your best windows here, when snakeheads push shallow to feed under low light. Midday in summer heat, look for shade pockets under overhanging brush or thick pad cover—fish stack up there to escape the sun. Any wind pushing debris or baitfish into a corner is worth checking, since it concentrates activity along that shoreline.

Access is straightforward but modest. Shore fishing is your primary option, with mapped parking about 0.32 mi from the water—close enough to walk in with a light kit and work the bank methodically. If you want to cover more water or slip a kayak in, there's a boat ramp mapped roughly 1.23 mi away, which opens up the far bank and any pockets shore anglers can't reach.

Gear up heavy: 40-65 lb braid, weedless topwater frogs and buzzbaits worked over matted vegetation, chatterbaits for a subsurface option, and weedless soft plastics for punching through cover when the topwater bite slows.
