hjerk24 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Any theory on the Snake Pattern I talked about? Seeing snakes , then hitting a few fish, almost every time? Anyone had this happen? I am talking tournament fishing...I hope I see snakes every time out. Quote
Super User Micro Posted March 30, 2009 Super User Posted March 30, 2009 Awsome snakes Micro. Hopefully ill find my fisrt cottonmouth this year. Is all I find is copperheads No jk copperheads are cool to. Where I live is almost completely devoid of Copperheads. I have found a whopping 3 in my whole life. I have to go to the next county over before they can be found. The woods around the lake I fish has some Copperheads. I took my son out last year looking for Copperheads at this place and took literally 5 steps off the trail and found one under a holly tree. Pretty snakes. Quote
BlakeMolone Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Heres an osage copperhead there realy cool but almost nobody likes them :'( Quote

BlakeMolone Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Grr I know what you mean and its mostly just Brown snakes and ive even hear ringneck snakes called copperheads. Quote

1inStripes Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Copperheads are in an abundance in SW VA. My mamaw and papaws old house had a lot around them. Killed a few around the house too that was in a our woodpiles, and that took a strike at me while weedeating. Luckily its a little rare to run into a rattlesnake around here for me, although theres quite a few here. My father was almost bitten by one two years ago ginsenging. Stepped right over a log and almost onto it. Quote
crappiekid24 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Whenever I am fishing with someone I am always the one who sees a snake or runs into a snake. You can usually tell when I run into a snake. I will be running and jumping around screaming "Snake". I think I have Ophidiophobia. I hate the sight of them, I hate the thought of them and I hate to stumble upon one when fishing. Quote
bassmedic46 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I leave them alone and they leave me alone. Not a big fan of snakes. Quote
TonyD2001 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 If I see a snake I am paranoid for the rest of the day about it. I usually walk right up to them and they see me before I see them. So the rest of my fishing trip I am looking around for snakes and not paying attention to the fish. Not a fan of snakes. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted April 1, 2009 Super User Posted April 1, 2009 Any theory on the Snake Pattern I talked about? Seeing snakes , then hitting a few fish, almost every time? Anyone had this happen? I am talking tournament fishing...I hope I see snakes every time out. I remember reading an article years ago (late 80's probably) where a guy who won a tournament noted that the stumps and trees he hit most of his fish at were the ones that had snakes on/in them. He said there was no action were there were no snakes that day. Quote
mrlitetackle Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Just have to throw it out there..... I love the "me, snake, and game warden pic." Should be one of those "priceless" commercials if you know what i mean.. Quote
