Were you just hunting the beach above the water or in the water. I have no knowledge about that lake. Most lakes in Florida are hunted from the shore to your shoulders. I used a long handled scoop and a tote float screen box, 18” square with pool noodles for floatation. This is my 3rd one since 1978. What the first thing a woman does when exiting the water? Shaking the water off her hands, got a loose ring, gone.
