Tim,
You need only find the giant snails or small black fresh water mussels. These rivers always have breeding populations of this easy to gather shellfish meat along the banks. Find the meat and you find the apes!
The natural cycles will dictate when and where along the rivers these shellfish will thrive. At Silver lake, where the Little Withlachoochee meets the Big Withlachoochee is also a place where you find the same type of environment. A big river crosses under Highway 75 at that point just like at Lettuce Lake. At Silver Lake the giant snails are thriving on the undisturbed North bank just beside 75. Why not a similar ecosystem at Lettuce Lake?
We have much evidence of Native Americans eating salt water shellfish for thousands of years. Along the rivers there is less evidence but I'm still learning. I know I've seen snails as big as a baseball at Silver Lake. Just one snail might feed a baby. The black mussels are about 2 inches long and are a small mouthful each. Highly nutritious.
Look for shells.
I have made the request for eight days off in the Ides of March.
Speak to you soon, George
