We were finally able to get down for scallops after trying for the last three years. Each time we had a wknd we could go the weather always turned bad. We were able to get a limit in the boat each day in about 2 hours. Had to make the long run toward Keaton to get them, but they were there. Not too much to report on the fishing front. We really only fished about 2 hours each day except for Tuesday when we hit it pretty hard til around 1:30 before having to head home. We were able to find a few reds each day and some trout. They were just not very agressive (typical late summer bite) and we lost 6 nice keepers at the boat on Tuesday that would have made the other 3 trout look a lot better. The fish just wouldn't eat the baits good. Caught all the trout in 6-7 feet on any type of clearwater plastics (rootbeer, chicken bone, electric chicken, etc.)

But, it was a super nice weekend spent with good friends from home and good friends down on the econ. Got a few good eats as well.

Dang that's alot of bivalves!!

Sounds like a great weekend. Glad you made it out there.

Good job!

Nice Catch!!! How far beyond Rock Island did u have to run to get the Scallops????

we had to run about 10-15 miles east of rock island. i think they are pretty much everywhere however from spring warrior to steinehatchee. we just kept going back to the same place because we were finding so many.

Another great Anky weekend! Congrats!
