“What kind of fish need shooting?”Maybe for the other “critters” you may run into along the way?Yrs ago i was fishin one of the coves in Tierra Verde(near Fort Desoto in StPete)and one of the biggest diamondbacks i’ve ever seen very casually slithered right past me and swam out to a small mangrove island about 30yards out.He was so close i could have spit on em.Talk about shook up.BTW-up to that day i’d been under the impression rattlers had an “aversion” to salt water-not true.

There’s nothing like an unexpected deadly snake to bring back a mans heightened observation powers of situational awareness.
