Tigertail Pond North

Tigertail Pond North is a quiet, non-tidal water, so you're fishing light and structure rather than any moving tide. Bullseye snakehead here behave like ambush predators, tucking tight against pads, matted grass, and any wood or brushy edges where they can sit in shade and blast anything that swims or crawls overhead. On calm days, watch for surface rolls and bubble trails near cover — that's usually a fish repositioning or gulping air, and it'll often strike again close to where you saw it roll.

Because there's no tide to plan around, focus on light and temperature instead. Early morning and last light are prime, when snakehead push shallow along the grass lines to feed. Midday in summer heat, they'll slide back into shade under pads or wood, so working the shadiest pockets pays off. Wind-blown banks stack in food and get overlooked fish moving too.

Shore access is solid, with mapped parking about 0.18 mile from the water, making bank walks and pad-hopping easy. If you want to cover more of the pond quietly, a boat ramp roughly 1.08 miles away opens up kayak or small boat access to the far bank cover. Either way, stick with weedless frogs, buzzbaits, chatterbaits, and weedless soft plastics worked slow through the slop, all on 40-65 lb braid to horse fish out of the mats.
