    Till I got home:cry: Out on the beach at 6PM, low tide at 9:30, wind blowing at 20 knots, and big surf hammering the beach. Lots of coin to be had on the beach, did not even try the water. Put in 3 hours digging mostly Pennies and dimes with quarters and nickels showing up in the scoop once in a...

    From the beach in July with the 705....not too bad,

    considering that it had rained 24 of the 31 days, 20 days in a row up to the end of the month. Strong West winds have been a real PITA for 3 weeks straight bringing in storms off the Gulf, morning, noon and night making the beach sand hard and damp...not much gets lost in it when it's like that...

    Having withdrawals in West Central Florida

    Other than a few wet sand hunts at low tide and some uneventful inner bay hunts, the west winds, strong thunderstorms and high surf has made it nearly impossible to get out past knee to waist deep in the Gulf. Its been nearly 2 weeks of this, with this weekend looking like a washout for visiting...

    2 x out = one 14k in the scoop

    Its been pretty much impossible to get out into the water this past week due to the daily and persistant 15/20 knot winds with storms that have been rolling in daily here on the west coast of Florida. The only saving grace is the big low tide at the end of the day that kept the waves breaking...
