I was told once, that one of the Raffield's from Port St Joe had a commercial scallop cleaner and sold it a long time ago.

I looked it up and yes there is a small commercial calico scallop fishery on the east coast.

I went out last weekend (6/25) to three different spots East of the lighthouse that produced well in previous years. I snorkeled in each spot for about for about 5 minutes and only spotted one the entire time.

'Hatch to Keaton has been pretty good, according to most of the folks on instagram.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
