if you frequent JP Lake. I thought I would head out there this morning and considerd doing some under the South Bridge fishing.I wanted to see how much a 5mph ssw wind would effect my tube so I Pulled up onto the median, opend my driver side door,and HOLY GHOST!! I almost steped on this bad boy! Fortunately for me, & Unfortunately for him, someone had made him dead. I aint sayin I`m just saying watch out where you put your foot down at the JOE!

Good advice indeed! Snakes are on the move looking for food before winter sets in!

There have been 3 rattlers killed on Britton end in last two weeks. I killed one on FM 661 bridge that was little over 3 ft. Other two my neighbors killed both over 5 ft. Early summer we killed 3 on 661. Mid summer I had a 4 1/2 ft. on my property that bit my Jack Russell of 14 years. She didnt make it. Last two years there have been plenty of rattlers on the South end.

There has always been a bunch of rattlers and copperheads in the Joe Pool area. Back when I was a kid we hunted a lot of that area and would see who could get the most buttons each year.

One evening a friend of mine kicked one while running on the dam. Lucky it didn't strike.

Hey Fishbonz, I'm assuming you changed your drawers before you continued your trip.

Cedar Hill was once home to the world record rattler. I have only ran across a rattler once while fishing and that was at creek running out of Lewisville. I poked him with my rod tip to get him to rattle.
