Will dropping the remains from cleaning fish in the lake attract snakes to your dock?

id imagine a turtle or two i think snakes are more hunters than scavengers.

it shouldn't more than likely its gonna bring in catfish though

Not really, but a fish basket or stringer...definately!

Worst you could do is accidently leave fish on the bank or on the dock that will bring the snakes in. I wouldn't think that would bring them in if you throw all the scraps in the water. I think it has to do more with what is surrounding your dock. What kind of shoreline and brush is there. If the snakes still show then they are already there

Thanks for the info. The shore line is clean and is a rock wall. I have not seen a snake in the two years we have had the place till last weekend. Our neighbor said a large snake swam by his dock and then later I had a 2'Green snake climb up the lattec on the screen porch. I keep everything picked up and the yard mowed to defend agianst them. I don't want to have to kill them but I will if I see them. I was never scared of snakes till a little runnin with a rattler a few years ago. I will admit I am now scared of them.

I know your fear brother! I accidently stepped on a rattler when i was 10yrs old fishing the cliffs at Lake Whitney. I hate snakes

A few years ago a 6 footer with 11 rattles struck at me and luckly hit my bow.

As far as I know, snakes aren't scavengers at all.

But then again, I was wrong once...

only if the remains of the fish will attract shad or frogs..the answer is yes..watched a guy at oakpoint dump his shad on the bank at dusk and leave..i was walking by a little after dark and the diamond back water snakes were having a feast think i saw 4or5 that night

A green snake eats lizards, small frogs , insects , etc. You can pick one up without worry. They don't bite unless you're hurting them and even then their teeth are too small to do any damage. They make pretty good pets with the proper setup.

Not trying to sound like a Democrat. Just sayin'.

You live near water so you're never gonna get rid of all the snakes. The best you can do ( other than keeping the grass and brush trimmed) is make sure you and your family learn to identify the poisonous ones in case of emergency.

Forget that! If i ever get bit by ANY snake... Me and him are going to the emergency room till i find out what it was! LOL

I don't want any kind of snake around. If I am sitting on the dock having a cold beer and one crawls across my foot it just as well be a coppermouthedrattlingstrickter, cause I will have a heart attack. All snakes are poisonous to the heart.

I'm right there with ya brother, the only non poisonous snake is one with it's head removed from it's body.

the remains attract minnows craws trutles ect and they attract larger fish. remember a Bass event on Texoma that was won fishing around cleaning stations.
