Well my boat trailer has not arrived yet. And I have not missed a scallop opener in a long time. So we decided to go wading for them. . Rigged up a cooler and got our floating flags together. Was going to go to Keaton but a customer said they had done well wading in front of the lighthouse. It's closer so we got there just after sunup. . Well long story short we snorkeled around for 2 hours much to the bemusement of the people around. And this is what we found. . So we gave up and ride over the fort ramp to see how busy it was. There were trailers past the crossroads in all directions. Hope they did better than we did. And I really hope my trailer comes in next week.
But we did have some great seafood at the Salty Snapper in Valdosta this eve.
And I talked to two friends that went today. One went to Steinhatchee and the other to St Marks. Both got 8-9 gallons of scallops.

Thanks for the report and hope your trailer soon comes in. We'll be down at Keaton several days this week.
. I can count on one hand the seafood restaurants I feel like the food was worth the price. This is one of them. The shrimp and grits is o so good. The fried food was perfectly cooked and the sides were excellent as well. Definitely recommend it and will be going back again.

Its in the old Muldoon's building and it is owned and run by two very good local chefs. They have three retuarants now, this one, Friends and the Woodstack BBQ tavern. I've eaten at the Snapper several times and never gotten a bad meal. They have old fashion recipes and then some of the new south recipes.
Econfina about a mile and a half out the mouth at 11 o clock. Limits both days and not crowded. I'm done for a couple of weeks tired of cleaning so I don't care if there is extra traffic from this post. Your welcome.
