Preliminary scallop reports post helene

Heard a third hand report someone was seeing scallops from the boat when the water was clear of St Marks…
Wouldn’t that be nice after all the storms.
Any other sightings?

Re: NOAA gag surveyors clearly haven’t looked in our area

I’m sure some old timers would disagree, but gags are better here by far than they were 15 years ago….
I grew up going in the 80s out of Crystal river and Suwannee….. and if you take out the small grouper everyone kept them (that would be under size now) the fishery now could be better now than ...

NOAA gag surveyors clearly haven’t looked in our area

NOAA surveyors clearly haven’t been offshore of our area recently….
Diving in 60ft in k tower area today…
4 spots all covered with big gags…. And small ones..
Most I’ve ever seen in that area…
It’s ridiculous….

Gags are everywhere, and fat…… oh but my eyes must be playing tricks on me…. Those gags are supposed to be endangered….
Maybe DOGE will send fisheries management back to the states?????

Healthy life on all your spots👍

Re: Everything is Endangered……. Not really of course

Or maybe just give us the “normal” gag season that THEY told us was the right regulation to rebuild the stock. They were actually correct, it worked.
Most folks were happy with the 6 or 7 months…
Ridiculous

Everything is Endangered……. Not really of course

One dive trip during gag and one after……
Gag trip was quick …. 40 ft of DI… big gags everywhere, stuffed with small herring… we stopped at 7 for the 5 of us… barely could shut cooler… more than enough fish for us. Great to see all the healthy gags…. Plenty from every age class. But don’t try to tell ...

Re: The Secret to Catching Red Grouper—Carrabelle Fishing Report, July 23, 2024

Love the pics though …. Very representative… Gaga and RG hugging bottom, mango and RS buzzing around.
Very unusual to see that many gags on a RG/RS hard bottom spot….
Keep that one a 🤫

Re: The Secret to Catching Red Grouper—Carrabelle Fishing Report, July 23, 2024

We grew up diving the murk at Crystal River where 6 ft vis was good…. So we got used to silhouettes….
The RG are taller and shorter…. Behave differently….

Gags usually need Xanax….. always on edge.
RG all are way chill.

Re: The Secret to Catching Red Grouper—Carrabelle Fishing Report, July 23, 2024

Slight clarification….. in the 4th pic down from the top, those are big gags, the one that are endangered.
3rd pic down has a nice RG in the front to the left, others are gags.
Gags are like that everywhere 😡
