nearly every time I go to the bay I stop for a swim by West Sister, the algae isnt all over but in patches.

I saw at least 5 in one weekend.. swimming around at the marina, dead on the beach, in the rocks.. crrrrreeeeepy!

That one stank so much I was dry heaving for like 5 minutes lol

Um.....maybe cuz you can't boat long enough to make it to PIB. The bay is about 10 miles to far for you Tim.

I just got done watching that video, I had a house in Webster NY, with a small dock on Irondequiot Bay in 1994, with Lake Erie directly acroos the street from me, I never ever knew about these water snake till just now, I learn something new everday....even thought the researcher told Mike Rowe the snake was non venemousm that looked horrible when his wrist was chomped on by the snake.

I will stay in the salt water and swim with the sharks of the Atlantic Ocean, f*ck those snakes.

When I worked a race in ocean city, we were walking thru the marina and I saw a shark somebody had caught, cut up and thrown in a big garbage can.... between the teeth on that and the size of shark that swam under my jetski off san diego.... I will stick with algae and snakes....
