Have there benn many scallops seen??????
Truthfully, I have not seen any scallops at St. Joe. But I honestly havn't taken the time to look for them. And while I'm being so honest, I hope there ain't nary a one at SJB.
pat mcgriff told me last week he went from the channel at keaton beach to Grassy Island (south towards Steinhathcee) (the Scalloper's gathering area) and saw 1 single-lone scallop... said it will be a month or so or longer...
Amen BD. I am not trying to be dump on the scallopers, but scallop season tends to bring out the worst boaters in the world. Many have forgotten how to launch a boat and clog up the ramps, fishermen cant drift a flat because of scallopers anchored up with their dive flags out and boating courtesy tends to go out the window during scallop season. People who havent cared a bit about the gulf all year, load 15 people onto their pontoon boat and invade the waters that we fishermen hold dear. I am sure this doesnt pertain to all scallopers but there are enough of the bad ones out there to put a bad taste in my mouth for scallop season.
