How close does a snake or turtle have to be to be considered a nuisance?
Is a turtle getting to close to your bait a shooter?
I have had a couple of big water snakes try to get me! Connie and i was walking and casting an ultra lite with a little jig, when a big old snake followered it right up to the bank, stopped and stuck it's head up above the water around a foot and looked at us for a little bit. Connie turned and ran through the poison ivy. I stood there untill it slipped back down into the water and crawed up onto the bank right in frount of me. No sticks around and i was'nt using my pole to beat him off so i left.
I have used my pole to keep'em form comming in to the boat.
