Fishing time for this family.....we are having the Indian summer type day......the ocean is flat calm glass. I never really fish right out in front of the house, but in an effort to have 4-6 good dependable spots that are close to home I've been exploring every little nook and cranny and rock in the ocean close by !! Come to find out there are several great spots less than 2 miles from home. Yesterday I did the kyak thing to a new spot to metal detect......3 mile kyak followed by a 2 mile hike and detecting mission, followed by a 3 mile return kyak.....solo !! I got very upset at a failure for everyone to keep there plans, and was headed in a bad direction of anger and disappointment at everyone around me. After losing half a day because of everyone's idiocy......I ate a couple of those new gummy candies 🍬 for adults !! After that it was a fantastic beautiful day of peace and quiet in the mangroves!! Didn't do as well as I thought I would because of extremely high king tides.....but I did get a Lea and perrins bottle.....1890s probably, and a ships spike !! There was a total pile of Indian tools most likely Tequesta, or biscayno. Hafted pieces, dippers, and other shell tools. I do not mess with Indian artifacts, so everything is in situ still except 2 pieces of pottery, that I've never seen before. Today we will be less than a mile from where I was hunting yesterday......there is a beautiful patch reef just offshore!!
