\"fish<\/a><\/p>\n

So Exciting! When I arrived\u00a0at Blind Pass Captiva yesterday morning, I saw that guy catch a fish while everybody else was wallowing in the joy of the big shell pile. Happiness.<\/p>\n

Chris (Calgary, Canada) found this very big WENTLETRAP right there! I was thinking the same thing as you are right now….. a WENTLETRAP at Blind Pass? I don’t see many people find them right there so that was a really good find in my book.<\/p>\n

His daughter Kyla found a piece of JUNONIA. Any piece is a good piece!<\/p>\n

My friends Courtney and Eileen (Sanibel) were having a blast soaking in this gorgeous day with the bonus of a huge shell pile…<\/p>\n

\"courtney<\/a><\/p>\n

Eileen found this very colorful FLAT SCALLOP … but hold on… I know you will notice that tattoo just like I did so I’ll tell you what it “says”. It’s her mother’s signature. Is she cool, or what? She is definitely a piece of art work!<\/p>\n

\"flat<\/a><\/p>\n

Courtney found my favorite shell of the day.<\/p>\n

\"courney<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope yall dont think I’m crazy but it’s an awesome ATLANTIC WING OYSTER with both sides still attached.<\/p>\n

\"atlantic<\/a><\/p>\n

Look at the inside of this shell…it’s like opening up a beautiful pearl!<\/p>\n

\"atlantic<\/a><\/p>\n

I found lots of The Sanibel Six<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>shells but only one ALPHABET CONE. It has this crazy pointy hat on top! I know it’s old and worn but I still really like it.<\/p>\n

\"alphabet<\/a><\/p>\n

Barbara was doing an excellent job of the Sit ‘n Sift filling up her kitchen strainer. So smart! One less step when she gets home to clean them. ;)<\/p>\n

\"Barbara<\/a><\/p>\n

There were lots of CHESTNUT TURBANS mixed in with WHELKS and FIGHTING CONCHS…<\/p>\n

\"assorted<\/a><\/p>\n

A pretty BITTERSWEET CLAM!<\/p>\n

\"bittersweet<\/a><\/p>\n

And CORAL…<\/p>\n

\"coral<\/a><\/p>\n

I think there was only about 5 shellers when I got the “mound” but within an hour, it was a ShellFest!<\/p>\n

\"seashells<\/a><\/p>\n
