Here we are at Alice lake! The water is pretty dirty, nobody swims in it, it's mostly for fishing. I was worried that there would be alligators in it, so I was relieved to find out there wasn't. A local fisherman told us that it has a lot of alligator Gar in it and the occasional water moccasin (poisonous snake)! We saw one of the snakes swim across the water! They fish for bait differently here, they use these circular nets with weights on the border that is thrown into the water and allowed to sink to the bottom. When they pull on the rope the edges come together to trap the small fish.
