Exactly. DarkFaceGlow nailed it.

1. Use the slowest speed
2. Night time is best.
3. Stormy and windy ... get ready

4. I only use the harpoon if conditions are favorable - viable wind, and relative safety to land the Serpent.
Never harpoon and drag it into a fresh plains or swamp. You will likely get swarmed, lose the serpent and die. Lol

Going in so slow speed do not helps because spawns works in spawn squares of 64mx64m , when u enter in that square and serpent dont spawns ( on nights or rains/storms ) u have to be quicker to be in another square because the initial square will a spawn blocker of 9 minutes
So being in a little area is just useless , most be on medium or top speed in a longboat for best spawns
