RE: Watch out for snakes..
Once when I was flipping out a shoreline...the wind kicked up ..I was poor then and only had a17pound thrust Minn Kota ..it was powerless against the gust which came up..The wind was blowing me under a willow tree..and honestly 3 snakes came dangling out of the tree ..their tails wrapped around the branches..The wind was blowing me right into the snakes..it looked like a scene from Inidana Jones as I began swinging my paddle hitting snakes into the water..[X(][&o]
