A day at Cocoa Beach.

[PaPa-Joe-Fla.]

I took 2 of my grand kids camping over near Cocoa, back when I made the reservation the Shuttle was to blast off from the Cape Friday night, but that was cancelled. My wife watched the kids Sat. at the pool ( yes it was warm outside 80 degrees) so I hit Cocoa Beach sense i have not been hunting there in a long time. I spent about 5 hours at the beach near Lori Wilson Park working my way out with the tide. My worst day ever at Cocoa, the bottom was like walking on a washboard, very sandy. I found a penny, one dime and pull tabs nothing worth posting. Here are some pics. for all you guys and gals waiting for the snow storm to pass.

Hey Papa,

Cocoa is hit or miss at times... I've hunted cocoa Numerous times and it's a tough beach to tame at times....

I've been there when the surf was so calm it was like lake water.. and then I was there when the surf was somewhat tame, But when your swinging your coil in the water... The Under-Toe "Current" just kills ya...

even in ankle - knee deep.......
