Sorry no pictures this time... but had a great weekend with the family.
We had a late start, didnt get on the water until 10.30 am but ended up with 4 trout by 12.30 pm, which was all we needed for a fish fry to go along with our barbeque at Goodman in Perry. We had quite a few misses from letting the girls setting the hooks and reeling them in. We then scalloped until 4 pm picking enough to make it worth the effort. Apparently, the areas where I saw scallop on Friday were full of boats and had already been picked over.
Saturday, Calvin and I sneaked out at 6.30 am, came back in at 10 am with a limit of trout and found the girls still in bed. Headed back out at close to noon to the area Hit-n-Miss suggested and the scallop were thick there, taking less than 3 hrs to fill the two 5 gallon bucket.
A couple of observations from this trip; the fish are still bitting good, so worth bringing your fishing rods along when you go scalloping. As for the scallop, someone has suggested that opening the season 2 weeks early was a mistake because the scallop are still small. I find this to be not the case. We found a mix from fairly small to large BUT all had meat that are much bigger than last year.

What a Breambuster report without pictures!
