[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3722265, member: 27673"] I used to tube fish hot and heavy in farm ponds and watersheds and in the hot dog days of summer I'd go at night........I'd get there a little before dark and try to memorize the bank and the tree shapes in my mind for reference before it got dark. Never invested in a headlamp and would just put my mini Maglite in my mouth when changing lures and many times when the light was on I'd glance up and see the 'V' shaped wake of a water snake of some sort coming towards me........most of the time all I had to do was tap the water in front of them a time or two with my rod tip and they'd dive and I'd get back to fishing but every once in awhile it wouldn't phase them and I'd really have to slap the water hard several times before they'd finally get the point and go under within a couple feet of me. The most rattled I ever was when tube fishing at night was when a beaver slapped his tail on the water about 8' in front of me, it was graveyard quite and all I could hear was my lure hitting the water somewhere out in front of me and the frogs croaking and then all of a sudden.......POW !!......I chewed back then when I fished and it scared me so bad I darn near swallowed a big wad of Levi Garrett. :) I thought about getting some sort of .410 derringer as a tackle box / float tube gun a time or two but with me being a little on the frugal side I never did.
