Wasp and Snakes

A very long time ago me and my buddy went fishing for some brream and shellcracker. I know that my buddy is very afraid of wasp. I honestly feel that he can hear a wasp from a hundred feet away. He is kind of like Radar on M.A.S.H. because he can here those wasp before they get to us.
The place that we were fishing is very thick with cypress trees everywhere you look. I could see a very large wasp nest a few yards away and I didn't say a thing until we got close up to the nest. I casually told my buddy to be very still because of the nest. He then looked around and spotted the nest and you should have hear him. This is a family site so I can't print what he said.
Well, about an hour later we were in a different location but it was still alot of cypress trees. My buddy knows that I am ok with snakes as long as I can see them first. After fishing for a while my friend starts to backing the boat up. I felt the boat hit up against a tree. I wasn't thinking a thing about it until I looked right above my head and there was a very large oak snake hanging on a limb that right above my head. I got a hold of the paddle and quietly advised my friend to move the boat up very slowly or he would be wearing a paddle.
I guess I better think twice before scaring him with the wasp. Hey we did end up catching abunch a shellcracker.

lol. Paybacks .... ain't it!

Hey, I feel ole boys pain about the wasps. Snakes dont bother me, but i probably would have un@$$ed that boat if I were in his shoes! Thats why I dont fish Cedar trees!

Hehe! First time I went limb lineing with my husband I was rigging the lines, having a pretty good time, all of a sudden he said Sit very Still, and backed the boat up real slow, there was a HUGE hornets nest right over where my head had been. I probably would have swamped the boat and gotten stung....

Good storie,I don't care for either one of them.

I few year ago my son and I were fishing on the Chickahominy River when we came across a large Northern Water Snake basking on a branch. We weren't catching much so we decided to do when boys do - poke at it with our rods.

The snake went into the water and made several mad dashes for our boat. We pushed it away and finally it disappeared. When we were done fishing that area, we decided to move somewhere else. My son asked me where the snake went and I didn't know. He told me to check the motor before I started it and sure enough, it was climbing up the outboard and was about to come into the boat.

A few weeks ago I was fishing near the same spot. I found a smaller Northern Water Snake cruising along so I grabbed it and brought it into the boat. After taking a few pictures, the ungrateful bastard bit me. Then he made his get-away. (pic 4,5)

Actually, I love snakes. I go out and lopok for them whenever I can.

There are two kinds of snakes: Those that are dead and those that should be dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!
