St. Joe Bay scalloping

Post by Gumbo »

Dodged the rain yesterday and made a run out to St. Joe Bay for some scalloping. They're still plenty around, our difficulty was the tide. It was quite low and the scallops were down in the mud and not up in the grass, made finding them really tough. My eagle-eye wife managed to grab a bunch, looking forward to a great scallop/pasta supper tonight.

On our way to the scallop grounds, not that far past the far end of Black's Island (we were running from Presnell's towards the fire tower) we ran across a 23 foot hole. Interesting feature in the middle of all that shallow water.

We had a similar experience Saturday afternoon in the bay. Ended up finding most of the scallops with our feet instead of our eyes. But what we found were almost all real good size -- a lot of "old timers" with moss, etc. all over them. Made for a really nice dinner Sunday evening.
