Decided to do something different today. So we picked up a box of squid and rigged the kids up with bottom rigs and went to 15-20' of water to see what they would catch. . . . .Sharks sharks and more sharks! They loved it. Got in the water for some scalloping at 9:30. Same spot as last week and this was the result.
I made a new pole spear to try today. And after being in the water for 2 hours I finally got a chance to try it. Flounder shishkabob.
Then we had to start shucking. Here's Daniel at the cleaning station.
As we were finishing up the cleaning the lightning started popping so we headed in. It flooded on us in the canal. But once out and on the road the sun came out. Go figure As always a great day on the water with my family and friends.

Nice! Too much work cleaning those little rascals. Have a friend who loves to catch em, hates to cook em. (he's single) I get them from him for $3.00 a pound. Getting lazy in my old age.

People sometimes talk about getting there limit in thirty minutes. Who wants to spend more time cleaning them than getting them?

I toke my Dad & sister fishing Saturday and was promptly reminded when we left why I absolutely hate scallop season. People tying up the ramps while they unload the truck and apply their sunscreen and then get the *#!? outta the way.
But nice haul of bivalves.

Scallop season and impatience just don't mix!

Wish I had known that RC. Atticus and I headed down early to beat the crowd. We launched and ran to some shallow water for some early morning, topwater reds. After the reds quit biting we found some scallops then headed back to the ramp. Watched a guy big NauticStar with a tower launch and saw the trailer go with it. Never seen anything like it. I can only surmise he didn't have the jack up and popped the hitch off the ball. Why he didn't have any chains to prevent the traile from sinkin in the channel I'll never know. I assume lighting and possbily trailer brakes wiring were torn out though. We relaunched at Fenholloway for some more quiet fishing.

Never seen anyone launch the trailer before. I will never understand how that happened.

Scallop season turns the inshore scene into a total zoo.

Nice haul by the way. Looks like you slayed 'em.
