Beach hunting is great, no doubt about it. But I have noticed something about myself lately which has made me curious if anyone feels this same way.
So I'm on the beach and I'm hunting the wet sand, my thoughts and eyes constantly examining the water, the crashing waves, the foam, the mystery of it all. Before long I find myself in that water not finding a thing but enjoying the heck out of it anyway. On the wet sand I was at least hitting a few targets, now an hour into my water hunt I've still not hit the first good tone worthy of digging, and yet two more hours will probably pass before I decide to get out, my thoughts seldom, if ever, returning to the wet sand.
I don't know, but to me there is something about being in that water that brings about a greater sense of adventure, a greater sense of mystery, a heightened sense of the hunt. Below me is a bottom I can seldom see, around me there is current and waves always threatening to push me off course, and whenever I do get a good tone it's often not near as easy to pluck that target VS the wet sand, and yet I still stay out there. Heck, even when I do head back to the wet sand I'm often drawn to those little spots and pools of standing water on the beach, the minute I reach them that heightened sense of the hunt and that greater sense of mystery and adventure immediately returning.
So for me, it's definitely, "With Water"........anyone else experience these same effects?
