I had expected a great day, but it didn’t happen. I have had some good trips to Tara, but the fish weren’t cooperative today.  I still think the fish are in the expected places. The wind was much stronger than I expected and I wore myself out trying to keep my kayak in position. I should also mention a caution. The metal pier or walkway opposite the launch area is a gathering site for water mocassions. I was busy tying on another bait and my kayak drifted up close to the pier. I turned to check where I was and saw three snakes laying on top. Fortunately, they just slithered off in the water.

I was at Tara late April and early May (at Black Hat in mid May, notice the same) and saw bunches of snakes, good and bad. We all need to be careful anyway, but the snake numbers at Tara are very plentiful. 

Didi you get a water temp reading out of curiousity.
