cato Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 This guy thought he would swim over and check my boat out yesterday while I was on the hunt for largemouth. After he finally noticed I was on the boat he quickly changed direction headed for dry land. He was in the 5ft range. Black Rat Snake the best I could tell. Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I've had that happen with watersnakes. BTW, I could be wrong but I dont think that is a black rat snake. Quote

Lucky Craft Man Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 It's hard to tell, but it could have been a northern water snake (though, I don't know the range of that snake). We have those everywhere up here. Several have got into the boat before and when you handle them, they put off a musky stench. Quote

Ellesar Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 That looks like the dreaded WesternCopperheadedRattleMocassin! Ofcourse they all look that to me. Quote
