Who's going next week? I cant wait to swim with my family and get some tasty scallops. Going to be at keaton myself, where is everyone else going?

Heck yeah! saw a nice pocket this weekend around St. Marks.

Any word on Lanark? Scallops have been scarce the past few years and we were hopeing they would be back this year.

Will be at Keaton it looks good so far shouldn't be hard to get a limit if the water stays clear.

From what I'm hearing it should be a great year for them.

I'll be out there THURSDAY with the whole family in tow

I want to get out there before the Friday RUSH !

Scallop season=Bull shark season.

Her: "What are you doing?"

Him: "Hold still. I just want to hook this circle hook into the back of your bathing suit before you jump in."

If you're scared get a dog or go to church.

I'll be trying out in St. Joe Bay. On my last excursion, I didn't see many at all, but there are a few places I haven't looked.

Hey MudDucker' don't you take boyscouts out scalloping each year? How do you do it? What age boys and how many parents? Also how many boats? We may want to take out our Bear den.

Yes sir, I have taken the troop each year now for the last 10 years or so. I take all of them that have passed the swim test. I've even had a few non-swimmers whose parents wanted me to take them. I put a life vest on them on the hill and it stays there until we get back to the hill. Myself or another adult hang on to them in the water. Number of adults and boats depends on the number of boys who want to go. I've had as many as 4 boats and 10 adults. Last year, I only took my boat, 7 boys and 3 adults. At all times at least one adult is on the boat watching the group. I keep enough scallop bags for everyone and cleaning spoons. They are responsible for their own cloths, with either swimming shoes or fins required, mask and snorkel. They help clean the scallops and then we usually cook them at our next camp out.
