Got a tip from BD that STB is a fun place to scallop So, took the family down for 4 days of harvesting so to speak. Turns out the tides were perfect for first light reds (prior planning prevents poor performance) so I slipped out each morning for an hour or two while the kids slept off the prior days scalloping.

I located 2 schools of reds, one 18-20" and one 24-26". They provided good fun each morning in 18" of water. Sight fishing made more exciting by topwater action. Boated 5 slot reds to 26" on skitterwalk and 2 on spoon. Missed many more.



Went back and got the wife and kids and headed out to scallop. We found them in 4-6' of water and boated 4-6 gallons a day over about 2 hours. Loads of fun for the kids, as you can see I was not happy and would have rather been fishing as I hate to scallop



Okay, I'm out of the closet, I love to scallop.

I could get used to that kind of livin, so anyone willing to sell me a beach house on the cheap, let me know.

Can't wait till next time.

Sounds like good family fun..you need to tell BD where them redfish were...

They would've needed legs instead of fins last week.

I seem to recall a right turn and a stop and some legs pushing the boat back out

Boats need water to float?? Sounds like you and the family had a blast. I know what you mean about gettin' used to that kind of livin'. When you get that beach house on the cheap, make sure you send a key my way.
