    Old sayin goes dont bother them and they wont bother you!! With that being said I was fishing rat island last may and I guess I got to close to a cottonmouth that was layin in a blow down because he slithered off the top and tried to get in the boat but my home made snake nocker took care of that..lol.. As mentioned just be careful where you stick your hands you never know, like Josh I've been several times and only seen a few water snakes so far this year...

    We had one fall out of a tree on Wednesday and hit the water in front of us. We saw two yesterday in the trees while we were jigging made me slow down and look before I grab a limb to hold the boat in place. LOL!! I hate snakes!!!

    Y'all can have the knockers and all that, I'll take a cheap .22 pistol with rat shot or shot shells. I'll take the dings in the boat instead of missing him and hurting myself trying to avoid it. Carried one when I wade fished in FL and they work very well. Keeping track of what's going on around you and where you grab and all is the best advice regardless.

    Sounds like they need to blow up the lake and start over

    You ever do any good on Pin Oak? We used to rent a cabin there every year on my wife's birthday but I never could find the crappie. Her birthday is May 1rst though so I just assumed they were always in their post-spawn funk while we were there.
    I got 350 heads on a 305 engine.
    I get 6 miles to the gallon.
    I aint got no good intentions.

    I mainly bream and bass fish there but do get the occasional crappie as a reward. I camp there a lot and take my little 8 ft basshunter since it fits in my toyhauler and is easy to launch from the bank. I troll crankbaits late in the year there and do pretty good on the white crappie. Only caught one white and a few blacks so far this year but that was fishing with crickets searching in vain for a large school of bream.
