Re: Anyone Fishing?
The weather Gods nixed a trip to Cape Sable (again) so my son and a friend of his are spending the day on the Alafia River in front of the house. Nice bass on the way upstream.
3 red breast sunfish in the cooler and lunch along the banks to come.

Re: Anyone Fishing?
They are fossilized shark teeth of various species, most of which have been around for 4 to 5 million years. In my hand are sand, mako, tiger, and one (the odd shaped one below my index finger) from an extinct snaggle tooth shark that disappeared 10 million years ago. We stopped and ate lunch at a place with a large deposit of gravel on the inside of a bend that is almost all pieces of fossilized bones and rich in shark teeth. It's a 30 minute paddle from the house. The Alafia river runs straight through what's locally known as Bone Valley because of all the fossils.
