Mad & Upset but famous
Today was my first day out hunting since EmeraldEyes had her problem. I did get out for about an hour the other day but today I got to hunt for several hours. I wasn't finding much but then I hunt this beach frequently and there are many others that hunt it as well. I did manage to fine a dumb bell. Yep, you are reading it right! I got this hit and it was an overload and I figured it was another knife since I've found 3 there this year so far. It wasn't, it was a 3 lb dumb bell!
Then I found a small variety of junk along with another nitro stud earring.
I was about to give up for the day and started for the shallows where the little kids play and started finding fish hooks. Not one or two but many! I would pull up 2 and 3 in each scoop. Well I decided to really go over that area very good, first going one way and then going over it again the other way. I ended up with 21 fish hooks! Different kinds, different sizes, different types. I was really getting upset about this because they were not there the other day. I believe that someone deliberatly threw these in the water and the worst part as far as I'm concerned it WHERE they threw them. In the little kids area. Some people are really jerks and I hope this person steps on a fish hook one day and it hurts like H***!
Now for the famous part! Have you ever heard that everyone gets 15 minutes of fame? Well I might be getting about a minute and a half pretty soon. While I was hunting and doing my thing a guy was taking pictures of me and then motioned me out of the water. He was a reporter for the Tampa Tribune (Hernando Today) and wanted to interview me. I said sure but I was really angry at that moment and I showed him why. He took pictures of my finds and said "WOW" All of those were found here? I said yep! Every last one of them. Anyway he said the story would be in the paper MAYBE..... maybe as soon as tomorrow, maybe next week, maybe never. It just depends on if his boss thinks the story is good enough to print and it would be used as a filler. Anyway WHEN and IF the story ever gets in the paper I will let you gng's know. So maybe I will be famous..... for a minute or so.

I hope your story gets in the paper for all to see. Good work cleaning out all the fish hooks. I have to agree with Ivan that it may be a tackle box drop. But if it were then there would be other lures as well. Hmmm. If it wasn't and you find the person who dumped them there then you will know what to do with the dumbell you found.
