  • This episode is the second part, and culmination of one of my best ever shelling days in Florida. Filmed during a brutal cold snap that hit SW Florida in December of 2022, I took a 4 hour shell tour with Reel Kind Shelling Tours to the 10k islands to see what the northwest winds washed up - it was an EPIC day of shelling!

    Southwest Florida beaches are fabulous for shelling. My favorite place for shelling. I've not found a Scotch Bonnet or Queen conch. Or a Horse conch. What an awesome day at the beach!

    Oh my gosh Brian. The shelling was amazing. Six more days I leave for Juno and the Palms (you gave me that incentive) and then over to Marco Island for a week. I can't wait to go over to Dickmans and Kice, my favorites. Wish me luck to find a "J" !!!!!

    There is a shelling device that you can purchase. It has a collapsing long handle with a little metal basket on the end so if you see something in cold water or not quite reach the shell, you can pull this out and scoop up the desired shell. I am so thinking about getting one for myself.

    Magnificent shells and you have such a great video style. I just went out with Reel Kind this past weekend and collected hundreds of shells on Shell Island. I also did Turner and Bowman on Sanibel and Tigertail on Marco Island. The shells were everywhere, but you definitely can’t beat the 10,00 islands you can only get to by boat, so many shells even in the summer so you don’t have to freeze!

    As for me, I enjoy learning, so I love to guess what shell it is, but when you grab them, you don't always say what it is. In this video you might mention them but it's like under your breath, so we can't always hear it. Great video, though. Beautiful scenery.
