just curious if you mean the first cove at SW corner with houses and a boat ramp at the end - that's where i am directly across from two empty lots with good brush - been spotting snakes almost daily for over a week now - they swim from the brush across the cove - never seen so many in such a short amount of time

We were in the very first cove, there were no houses. The next cove to the north was the first one with houses. But agreed, I've never seen that many snakes moving before.

We passed a dock while working the bank at Fork last week and they had big rubber snakes all over it to keep the birds off. As we were coming out of the pocket the owners had come down to fish and we joked they should look out for all the snakes. The fella said one of his friends had come down to fish their dock and put two .38 holes in one of the "snakes" and his dock before he figured out they were scarecrows. And that snake wasn't even chasing anyone!

We saw snakes as well that weekend, but no worries in a center console. Freeboard nice and high.
