St. Marks Inshore 7/31/2011
Posted: July 31st, 2011, 9:00 pm
Left the dock at 7am this morning. Crew for the day was myself, dad, and herb. Plan was to fish inshore since offshore is in time out till this fall. Wish it wasnt off limits cause it was flat flat flat today. Fished the east flats in 5-6 ft of water first thing this am. Trout bite was good till about 9. Ended up boxing 4 keeper trout and 3 black sea bass b4 9am. Decided to take a swim and look for some scallops. Bounced around a bunch and never really found a big concentration. Looked in 5 or 6 places and only ended up with about 4 dozen. 
Not quite sure where all of yall have been killing them but we dang sure couldnt find a bunch...one here and one there. Went out to some shallow rocks in 14ft to clean scallops and put some pins behind the boat in the scallop slick. Got knocked down twice but never say what they were. Fished gulps on bottom the last 1/2 hour and managed an 18" flounder and a couple more sea bass. Back to the ramp by 4. Good day on the water but really cant wait for our wonderful fisheries managers to let the offshore fish come out of timeout!
