The east flats around Grey Mare Rock had exceptionally clear water with lots of scallops for the taking! I was trying out my new 7-weight Sage Flyrod & reel combo and some of those newly tied BBF.net flies I had swapped for on some fish! Meanwhile, Capt. Andy tossed some Gulp & CT around! Big & Little Bobby swam around taking care of the scallop problems...we filled up the five-gallon bucket by 1 p.m.

As we were speeding along towards the Bird Tower, a bevy of birds showed us some fish chasing minnows on top. So, we stopped and wore our arms out catching Ladyfish. Unfortunately, no trout, blues, or mackerel were mixed into the turmoil of diving birds, fleeing minnows, and crashing Ladyfish! Catching Ladyfish on a flyrod is a hoot - they run and jump like baby Tarpon - these were in the 3-4 pound range, so it was quite sporting, indeed!

Alas, clean-up duty calls, goofing off time over, and we headed to put the boat on the trailer. I have a bunch of scallops to clean while Bobby & Anthony go after better dive gear and another Dive Flag (it seems we lost our overboard somewhere out there in 4-feet of water).

Maybe we'll find the silly flag tomorrow when we go back after some more scallops and seek out the rooter trout & reds in close at daylight! Hope some of you can join us.
