That is Lewis' moon snail, Polinices lewissii. They roam sand and mud flats looking for clams to bore into and consume. They produce a very distinctive gelatinous collar that contains the eggs.Catch of the day.
I think you're stripping too slowlyCatch of the day.

Sluggish!How was the take?
Did it hammer it or was it a nipper?

Did you notice if it had Alabama or Ozark registration on it ?Felt like fall today with some wind, clouds and rain. Keep it coming.
Saw this unusual PS fishing rig this morning.

You're right about it feeling like fall fishing today. I fished for SRC on an MA-13 beach this morning. It was cloudy, the wind was blowing, the waves were up, and my stripping hand got cold. It sure made the post-fishing coffee taste good, though.Felt like fall today with some wind, clouds and rain. Keep it coming.

Wow! Looks like one of those rare beaverpond searuns.. A beautyNice day out on the water.
Bonus bycatch with one of the fattest searuns I’ve had the pleasure to shake hands with. It hasn’t missed many meals. Good fight with multiple jumps.

My experience with this is usually on bigger exchanges, when the plug gets pulled it sets up rips and micro rips that disturb water. Also as SF mentioned wind and waves will also stir certain beaches up at certain times. I've mostly seen the cloudy water around high tide changes.Is there a trick to predicting visibility in areas? I fished around the west side of Squaxin Island today but the water was unexpectedly cloudy.
If it’s cloudy today at rising tide will it be tomorrow? Does sediment migrate making it random? Would an inlet over be clear? Are there seasonal patterns, ie: “rising in summer at x beach leaves sediment until next cycle.”? Is this a thing of MA13?
To me it seems one day it’s clear the next the water is cloudy with no weather differences.
