I like snakes as much as the next guy, probally more. I don't hate snakes AT ALL!! I just wouldn't have a problem hooking one. Go ahead, hug a snake!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8-)

#1 hands down!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 8-)

Micro, I'm sorry that I got a bit carried away last night. I realize that you DO have a great knowledge of snakes and their relation to bass. Also, it was said that I'm questioning your credibility. I AM NOT!!! I'd bet $100 that you could outfish me any day of the week! Again, I'm sorry I got so carried away. I didn't mean to stir things up so much. No hard feelings??? Nice snake pics BTW. 8-)

Don;t get started in ethics. I guess it's not "ethical" to use shiners, crickets, crawfish, shad, or any other live biat then. GIMME A BREAK!! Nice gator BTW!!! 8-)

As for how to rig one.....I'd say hook it through the head. I've always wanted to try this, but I could never catch one. Let me know how it turns out! 8-)

Old cars make GREAT structure!!! My favorite honey hole on my lake is a '59 Buick!! ;D ;D 8-)

Let's talk snakes. First, let me give you a quick lesson in terminology. "Poisonous" snakes aren't "poisonous." They are "venomous." Got it? Poisonous means - you bite it, you get sick. Venomous means - it bites you, you get sick. Second, there is no such thing as a "water moccassin." There are water snakes, of the genus Nerodia, and Cottonmouths, of the genus Agkistrodon, which is also the genus for Copperheads. The only "moccassin" found in the US is the Northern Copperhead (aka Upland Moccassin), of the genus Agkistrodon, species contortrix, subspecies mokasen. Third, bass do not regularly predate on Water Snakes. Northern Water Snakes, Banded waters snakes, Brown Water Snakes, and any other water snakes are very tough. And while non-venomous to humans, they are thought to produce a saliva that may be toxic to fish. Bass DO NOT predate on water snakes. So let the little snakes go before you hurt yourself, or the snakes. Let's talk snakes!! 1) Who really cares if they're called posiounus or venomus. We get the picture!!! 2) The comon name for water snakes IS water mocassins. Again, who gives a pigs butt over what species and genus and all that stuff!!! 3) Bass DO feed on snakes. I see it all the time. Go hug you're sankkes somewhere else!! If this guy, or anyone else wants to use snakes let them!! Thank's for your informative post on snakes, but WHO CARES!!!?? 8-)

I been fishing for a long time and everyonce in the while I like to go out with one rod and some crawlers or a bucket full of large shiners and watch bobbers all day, taint nothing wrong with it 8-) Nuttin wrong at all. 8-)

You can't be completley happy unless you have SHIMANO, right... : : ;D ;D 8-)

I agree with this. I just don't think you need to spend $150 bucks!! Buy a Shimano Citica. With the rebate you're getting an AWESOME reel for $90.00!! (this reel is better than most $150-$200 reels) Just make sure you buy it by April 31st to get the rebate. Also what muddy said about the articles is good advice. Don't listen to him about reels. He's NUTS!! ;D ;D Buy the CITICA!! Good luck, I'm sure you'll find baitcasting VERY enjoyable!!! 8-)
