Over his 17 years of picking up beach trash, Smith has amassed quite a stockpile of fishing items. Thousands of pieces are in his collection…726 lures alone.
“That’s one of the oldest lures that I believe I have found,” Smith held up a small, wooden lure with double spinners on the tail. “I’ve never seen another one even remotely like it.”
There were even plastic containers found on the beach filled with tackle. “These are boxes that the fishermen have…either they drank too much and left in on the sand,” Smith laughed. On a quick walk Thursday, June 22, 2023, his 82nd birthday, he bagged a number of items. His efforts were noticed and appreciated by the beachgoers there.
If it’s out of place, chances are it won’t make it past Smith’s eagle eye. Such was the case with a toy truck he found.
