Me and my buddy couldn't agree on what kind of snakes these are
Cottonmouth that has been sunning.
That's my vote, cotton mouth, better shot of the head would help, but I understand not wanting to get too close! lol Catch any fish while you were in there?
they look like waterheaded copperrattlers to me.i don't like snakes at all.
Two things that have served me well in life. All guns are loaded and all snakes are poisonous.
I can't see the snakes but most of the time common water snakes (non poisonous) are mis identified as moccasins.
I don't worry much about them, but I have a friend that says they're all Copperhead Rattle Moccasins.
After looking closer and enlarging the picture that looks like a cottonmouth because a water snake swims mostly submerged while a water moccasins (Cottenmouth) swims on top of the water. That's what I've learned living most of my life in the swamp :dono

I'm only afraid of 4 kinds of snakes. Big ones, little ones, alive ones and dead ones
I tend to treat snakes the same way I deal with working on electricity. Give it the respect it deserves and don't take any chances. Why I always carry a sharp hatchet in the boat!!! They are bad to follow you in some creeks ive fished. They have learned that boats throw back the little ones and are there to get a free meal. My two cents worth for the day!
Cobras................They all cobras
Hard to say from the pictures. I can't get them to zoom in. I'm about sure the little one is not a cotton mouth. If you have ever been frog gigging you'll learn very quickly.

Be careful night fishing. They'll climb up in the boat with you. Make sure you watch your motors!
A biologist told me the same thing, he worked for Ark game and fishQuote:

Cotton mouths are usually darker also, they'll also have diamond shaped head from the poison bags.
Dad said he was fishing one time and saw a big bull frog, he went to grab it and a snake grabbed it at the same time. He took the frog from the snake , poured a shot of whiskey down the snake and tossed him in the water. He went back to fishing. Few minutes went by and he felt something tapping him on the leg, it was the snake, it brought him another frog. [emoji41]
