Nessies are back ...................Darn it............caught four, more to go!

[addy1]

I was filming with cell from a good distance. Watch the twitching that was going on, like hickups. The lil one was wrapped around the bigger one. I was able to walk up within 5 feet of them. But they stopped the movement as I got to close...............mating?

They like laying on the oil pan I have over the drain holes, keeps big stuff from clogging which ='s a huge leak!

Oh my!!!! Do they eat your fish?

 

[addy1]

Oh yes I have pictures of them swimming with a fish in mouth, last year. Also the frogs. I had three last year, one huge two small, the huge one died, found the skeleton, the two small ones just left. Well guess they are back and bigger.

Hmmmmmm.........you have a lovely wildlife pond and it, well.......attracts wildlife

Ran into our next door neighbor ( career Marine ) who is completely freaked out by a big snake living in their wood pile. He said he's fine getting shot at, but snakes just freak him out - LOL !

I just don't know what to say to that @Tula OTHER THAN i just don't get it.

Snakes don't bother me, but my fish load has decreased. A lot of my bigger fish are gone. Heron when it got in? snake? just normal death, who knows I am not finding bodies.

Debating getting 100 shubies from the fish hatchery, no way to guarantee them. They live in mud ponds until caught, then in tanks with constant fresh water flow.

Good prices, maybe even get some other type of fish, like a orfe, now trying to remember what everybody has said about them lol
