Re: Hello, new here

Welcome! There are plenty of spots to fish with a 19' boat unless you want to target snapper or grouper. Check out Navionics and get an idea of where the hot spots are. It helps to learn the names of different features in the area. https://webapp.navionics.com/#boating@6 ... 0yDz%60aaO

Re: Scalloping................................................

Has anyone ever tried scalloping around Cedar Key? I have pulled wild clams there but never looked for a scallop. It seems like there's plenty of shallow spots with grass.

Great report! I haven't been finding any legal size fish recently, but it sounds like the water has cooled off a degree or 2.

I call that one the original as well because I worked there from 90 to 93. I have a plank of siding from the building, but never got my hands on a sign.

When you say the real Posey's which one are you referring to? I haven't been around Keaton or Steinhatchee much, but I want to check it out this summer.
