Rattlesnake... IN West Bay

[dbarham]

I ran across a rattlesnake in Chocolate last year swimming in open water and a few weeks ago saw a 4-5 ft one sunning on a bank in the channel going into Lost lake.

Several years ago my dad and I had a water mocasson fall into our boat in Halls Bayou. Scared the hell out of us until we got it out!

I SEEN A HUGE ONE SWIM UPON A LITTLE ISLAND AT THE MOUTH of new bayou all the birds on the island freaked out!

I was in the boat when we ran across that snake...that pic with the hook in it is me trying to charm the snake to the side of the boat

That thing would have got a good beating if i was still in the boat and would of seen it.

Man i hate snakes.

Funny thing is we saw a moccasin on Sunday in the Trinity. Thing was huge too! Swimming with his head out of the water crazy how they float...

Like bounthunter said, I've never seen them in the water but saw a huge one at slp a couple years ago. Tried to run it over but missed!

I see a 18' gator in Lake Como!!

Its just the tail!

My buddy had a Moccasin crawl up his trolling motor trying to get into his boat. He beat the sheet out of his trolling motor trying to keep it out. The trolling motor ended up in about a hundred pieces.

I see a 18' gator in Lake Como-all camo'd and hauls thru muck-oh wait, you meant ALLIgator-I was thinking of Coe's rig!!

[Unclehandy]

There was a 4' gator in lake como last year

[Robalo]

Last year a big (6' +) gator was on north shore just west of Caranchua Cut-at first thought it was a log until it started swimming. It was about 100 yards out into the bay. Ya never know what's swimming near ya!!!

Never seen one in the water, but have run across a few in the dunes around SLP. That would be no fun running into kayaking either, hope I can paddle faster than he can swim!
