May try to get to Sardis this next week. How is the crappie fishing? Are they swallow and spawning or is it about over? Plan on single pole fishing and curious if I can catch any. Thanks in advance for any info.

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.

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
Don't recall seeing any of those with Fangs and A Blount Tail!!!
not sure that a copperhead has the skinny tail. sounds like a cottonmouth.
Doesn't matter. My mantra is" leave them alone". I will go as far as possible away from a snake. Where I grew up we had copperheads and rattle snakes. My momma only raised one fool and he lives in the state of Washington.
I hate snakes,
I often repeat that Arkansas has only 2 varieties of snake. If they have rattles, they are rattlesnakes. If they don't have rattles, they are cobras. Last time i'll post that!
