So, I'm walking the beach looking for glass when spot this little guy not ten feet from the surf.....first one I've seen there in all these years! I "almost" never go anywhere with my snake hook and bags in the car....guess what...all at home! When I saw it I called my wife and son over to were I was standing and without pointing it out told them "not to move, that there was a rattlesnake within a ten foot radius of them, find it", and I walked off a few yards...it took them over a minute to spot it... Then my wife asks, "Can we catch it?" I replied, "don't have any of my snake stuff"...she says, "Go to the car and find something...." I ended up using 2 dip nets, a shell bag, and soft sided cooler to safely catch it...later when we went to town I bought a small tote to get him home safely! We had a great afternoon on the beach! Usually we are luck to get a handful to a double-handful of sea glass...this trip we almost filled a gal Ziploc bag! 100% of this glass we collected off a beach over the past few years...this was by far our best outing! We added almost 3" in the jar this trip! And all the shells! The sea glass jar is 9" tall and 12" wide...and now getting heavy! The shell jar is 8" wide and 13" tall!

Saturday morning we got up early and hit the East pier to do a little fishing...the water was still too fresh from all the recent rains so after two hours without even a bump we packed up to head for salter water.... We went to Indianola...I've spent countless hours around Matagorda bay but had never made it to Indianola... Then farther south.... My wife caught her first red...then a couple more...they were too small to keep but had a great time regardless... And finally this monster!

Finally Sunday we headed back towards El Campo in an attempt to let my wife catch an alligator on her birthday...it had been spotted in a pond both of the two previous days but it was nowhere to be found when we got there.... Had a good visit with my uncle Billy then headed home.... Made a stop in Conroe for her a little B-Day Mex food! And a special b-day sopapilla...our waiter put the cream and cherry on her nose!

Nice time!

Looks like an excellent trip. Happy birthday to your wife. BTW, what do you do with the glass? just collect for the jar, or a project?

So far just a collection in a jar but have seriously been contemplating a "stained-glass" type window made from it...but I have never done anything like that so I'm still in the "study" mode....I think it would look really kool tho! Any other suggestions on how it could be used are always welcome....

I have seen tables, both card and coffee tables done with similar class picked up from old forts, or settler "trash", those look pretty need with the history. My grandfather did stained glass as a hobby, I think trying work the small pieces would be tough. Wonder if you could use a lexan or other hardening clearish resin, to make a thick window pane? Add some stuff found on the beach, like star fish, the glass, few specks of sand and a rattlesnake or 2
