All day? I'm supposed to go diving over there Saturday. That could definitely put a damper on things. Anything can happen in the next few days.. Waters too ****ing cold over in Daytona.

On and off all day. Forecasted high is 83, which says a lot.

Ive only encountered them once. Copperheads seem pretty relaxed, but I swear they have temper tantrums or something like it. It doesn't just seem like they feel threatened, they genuinely seem pissed off sometimes.

copperheads and moccasins are pretty aggressive compared to most other snakes in the area.

fortunately alligators aren't. I've waded right into gators big enough to make me dinner. Had them swim right by me nonchalantly like I wasn't even there. scared me to death each time but I guess they'd rather hunt for a bluetick coonhound.. :whistling:

That looks so good. Perfect them and get back to me. I have friends who love them but I can't recall ever having one.

I don't think we share the same type. Everyting above the deep south is northern copperhead.

Jacksonville, though some would consider that south georgia.

I've only been there once. Had to take my wife to the Mayo clinic back in March. Dealing with Atlanta traffic going to Emory, I loved how Jacksonville was laid out. It was awesome to me, and I'd love to fish in those canal type waters.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in venomous snakes this year? I've seen more just this summer than I have in more than a decade.

They're putting road in behind my house and it's driving the snakes out. No vipers but a bunch of black snakes

Probably, I would have known the difference back when I was a kid. I was all about critters, especially ones that could kill me dead. Then I grew up and something clicked in me that made me not want to seek out dangerous animals in my spare time.

That's probably the best thing about jacksonville. It's a fishing paradise. So many places to go, so much variety in how you can fish and what you can catch. Some people would probably say golf is our best asset, but I'd rather be catching dinner than hacking it any day.

I loved how they had docks built in some of those places. I told my wife if we have to go back I was taking my gear next time.

Astronomically unlikely to die from copperhead venom. Btw, you ever read how much one vial of antivenin costs?

Used to fish right around that last bridge on beach blvd right before you started to get to the beach. They used to have a place on the water right there called hurricane Hattie's. You could just pull up in your boat, tie off, and eat and drink there. Had amazing lobster tail for like 20$ all you could eat.

My favorite spots are all in and around the nassau sound. The bridge, big talbot, little talbot, black rock trail, etc. There's so many weird little secluded coves and beaches that there's always a place where you can set up and hardly ever see another soul. Fishing's usually good no matter what too, as long as you aren't a complete noob.

One time on black rock trail, me and my buddy were fishing on the surf and enjoying some cold beers(and at least one or two joints, but they aren't important to the story). Hadn't seen anyone out there all day. Randomly a goofy looking park ranger came out of the woods- not a trail, just the woods. He walked up to us and started to say we weren't allowed to drink out there, but as he was saying it, I was reeling in a big fish. Pulled in a huge black drum, and he seemed very excited lol. He never finished his spiel about not drinking, I guess he figured we weren't out there to party or cause trouble if we were pulling in fish like that. Just left us and headed back to the woods, never even asking for fishing licenses.

Lol odd. I've gotten two open container tickets on Huguenot Beach. They started getting bad about it there for a while. Only place in florida where I got a ticket for an open container on a beach. I did fish little and big talbot many times. Great area for fishing
