It's time for me to post my annual "why I hate scallop season" grumpy old man rant.....but I'll skip it this year. :lol:

It really used to bug me when I ran my Gheenoe LT-25 out of the Lighthouse. The floating grass would be insane with hundreds of boat anchors tearing up the bottom. I could run about 200 yards before the prop fouled. :smt011 Now that I'm in my skiff the 115 SHO runs thru all that grass like it's not there.

So....bring it on I say. 100 degree heat, Snapper season, Scallop season, et all. It has me dreaming of Fall already. :smt007

Can you imagine what the Lighthouse will be like with the Fort ramp closed. :smt011

I'm glad the St Marks zone isn't opening early this year. Those little guys need more time to grow! I might go scouting this weekend.

I'm going to have to take my wife even if I have to rent a boat but it won't be opening weekend. Going to panacea, Boca grande, and Marco island across 2 weeks has not won me any favors.
