St. Joe Bay scallops 7/27

Post by **bman** » July 27th, 2006, 10:33 pm

Went down for the day with my wife- Put in at the park and tried a few places where we have done well in the past. Almost none- I was getting worried. Then about the fourth place we stopped they were thick.
In about half of the time we spent at any of the other spots we had our limit.

My wife with a big smile and a big Bag-O-Scallops

The Ice Chest- I have to say 2 gal per person looks small compared to the old days of 5gal per person...

Hey, B, good catch. While the 2 gallons is less than the old 5, it sure takes less time to clean!

Luck,

EJ (we met at the coffee shop last week, I had the redfish shirt on!)

RF- That is funny! We all need to start flying BBF flags!
There were all you could want right there.

EJ- Good to meet you the other morning.
Cafe con Leche from Cool Grinz is the best.

You know there were plenty to eat when we finished cleaning them- but the cost / results benefit is better left uncalculated.
FOCUS ON THE FUN!

Help us members out(please) I'm going tommorow and want my 5 year old and wife to find their first scallops ever. We went two weeks ago and found zip.

Nice catch Barry. Those look quite a bit larger than the ones Katie and I found at St. Joe two weeks ago. Ya'll done good.

Knee deep water- Blacks Island.
I know that is where all the other boats are- because thats where the Scallops are!

Showboat-
You guys get them this weekend and I'll work on closing your deal!

After hearing that most folks haven't been finding any, it's good to know they re out there. Good report and nice pictures to match..

So, that's what they look like! I was begining to wonder myself!
I've yet to find them around St Marks!
