CWB usual

[mumszie]

I really hate this beach! I say it over and over and over but I HATE THIS BEACH! My daughter on the other hand loves it so we go every now and then. She took her camera with her today and took some pictures and I took a few of her too. Neither one of us did very well today. We were down there for a little over three hours and there were a lot of hunters.

I said hello to a couple of them and they said they weren't doing so good either. I don't know the names of the hunters in the pictures.

My daughter hunting in the dry sand. We got a few sprinkles and that is why she has a bag over the control box. She ended up with just under a dollar in clad and nothing else.

The water wasn't too bad but I just was not getting any hits at all. I hunted in the water for almost three hours and I only got one hit this morning and it was a penny. Sheesh!

Okay, okay.... I don't hate Clearwater Beach but I do dislike it a lot! Maybe it's my attitude. I admit as soon as we decide that is where we are going I know I'm not going to get anything. But I really don't HATE it. It's a beautiful beach but I dislike it a lot!

Thats why I dont bother.... 3 hr drive to get there, and it is hit WAY too hard... You folks can have it..

you didn't miss anything south either. Treasure Island is getting a shot of beach rebuilding and it's gonna be a while until things are uncovered or at least findable under the two to three feet of sand they're pumping to make the beach wider.

We spent 4 hours yesterday and I got 1.01 american. with 50cent of it coming from underneath a parking meter.

We hit it yesterday for about 4 hrs till sunset and left with just over a dollar, a junk toe ring and a cheap aluminum earring. That was mostly water, there were 6 others up on the sand.

Pickens are really slim these days.

That used to be my husbands shirt and the DOM stood for "Dirty Old Man". I've been calling him that since we were teenagers. Now, my daughter says the DOM stands for "Daughter Of Mumszie". My shirt says "Mumszie". LOL

Thanks for the pics of CWB Mumszie, awesome. CWB was my first and only beach I have ever hunted, and that was only the dry sand. I cant wait to hit the water when I get my new Whites Surf Pi Dual Field in the near future. As I have mentioned to you in the past, we always go to CWB for our vacations. The wife says we can go anywhere to any beach in the gulf if I wanted to try another but I guess that I tend to want to go there only because we know it and the area so well. oh well, HH and have a great day, again, thanks for the cool pics.

Problem is the best hunting is off shore about a mile. I knew a TH'er who took a boat out one mile from CWB in 15 feet of water and dove with SCUBA. Out there you'll find potholes in the hardpan. She managed to pull over 15 gold rings which included wedding bands, diamond rings, HS rings, College rings and Military rings. All waiting for you and there are hundreds of those potholes out there. Gold rings will move with the tides and if they fall into a depression, they will remain there until a good storm surge sweeps them out of the pot holes toward the beaches. That's the reason that after a really bad storm that churns up the Gulf that the ring hunting is so good but only a small percentage of those rings are found while the remainder are once again swept out to fall into a pothole until the next storm.

I am afraid that is beyond my capabilities and I am too old to start doing it now. What a chance for some others though.
