Thread: Sardis report

caught 2 females and 4 males in 3ft water today, the bite was slow

High water and they are spread out in the weeds and buck brush. Bad for fishing but its great for the fish. They are laying eggs everywhere.

copperheads??

Yes!! They were fishing up ditches and banks in whites bottom. For those that don't know rattlesnakes are heavy populated in the Sardis Reservoir boundaries!! The copperheads were laying around cypress trees. I have ran 4 cottonmouth sip a tree by bush hogging a big circle around a tree and just kept cutting in circles back to the tree!! I also have ran over cottonmouths copperheads and rattlesnakes with a 105 hp John deere tractor!! They just flatten out with the grass unless they are laying over a heavy stick or hard ground. If that's the case they POP like an under inflated ballon and guts ooze out!!

It's amazing that 9 out of 10 times they don't raise there head to look!! I think the vibration of the mower freaks them out!!

I hate pit vipers but am skeeeered of cottonmouths!!! They are bout as nasty as a cheap companion!!

northern water snake looks a lot like a copperhead
