Super User roadwarrior Posted March 27, 2014 Super User Posted March 27, 2014 RoLo, snake lures are a not so secret tournament winning lure in South Florida. I'll try to dig out the newspaper article written about the winner of the local open series. These guys chuck those heavy lures all day long to get a few kicker fish. I've done it in the warmer months in the glades canals and gotten bit by some nice fish. I can't say that I've seen a live snake get eaten but snake lures do have a following around here. Well, as I wrote earlier on this thread, I have NEVER seen a post from anyone other than "affiliated persons" stating they had caught a single fish on a snake bait. You my friend, are the first!

G8RBob Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I have caught bass in Florida lakes with plastic snakes, the 18 inch type. Not often, but it does happen. If you really want to have some fun, put one of those 18 inchers on a weighted line and let it sink to the bottom. The snake is continually attacked when pulled along the bottom. Pop, pop, pop...

You my friend, are the first! I've caught a lot of bass on the old Snatrix (sp?) and the Mann's Hardnose Snake, but I always fish them across the bottom like a regular worm and not across the surface like a snake. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted March 31, 2014 Super User Posted March 31, 2014 I've seen a small snake swimming over the surface weeds getting attacked constantly but never taken. As far as eels go at night while fishing I shined my flash lite at the waters edge and noticed the eels right at the edge within inches from the shore feeding. I'm sure this is why the black rubber worm works so well. I still have the packages of the "snakebait" curly snakes to this day. Of course the packages are loaded with dust too. Quote
scrutch Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 image.jpg No bass would be able to eat this thing!!! Hell even a large mammal would have a hard time turning this anaconda rattlesnake offspring into a meal lol That's the biggest rattler I've ever seen! I haven't read the rest of this thread so I apologize if this has already been beaten to death. Quote
Super User Ratherbfishing Posted April 1, 2014 Super User Posted April 1, 2014 No, but I've seen a penguin blow up on a television set What? No Monty Python fans? Quote
Super User RoLo Posted April 1, 2014 Super User Posted April 1, 2014 WOW!!!...Now that is a one huge snake! It surely is, but just like a 12-lb bass, I'd much rather see it alive Quote
