St.Marks Fishing/Scalloping 7/21/12

Post by Hit-n-Miss »

:-D Daniel and I decided to go to St.Marks yesterday to check out the scallops there. Have been going to Keaton but they aren't reliable there yet. My brother and daughter are coming in a couple weeks and we want to put them on some scallops. We got to the fort ramp at 7:15 and got a choice parking space and headed out. Was very suprised at how calm it was. Image

Uploaded with ImageShack.usHeaded east and fished near the stake line till 9:30 and wound up with 3 trout and many shorts. Daniel had a 4' shark try to eat his only keeper at the boat. :lol: We moved in shallow to look for scallops and found with the overcast and slight stain you could not see them from the boat. So I got into the water and Daniel idled along till we found them.Image

Uploaded with ImageShack.usThe visability was pretty good and we got our limit pretty easily. Did not see anything to spear though. There was a ton of boats out there and as usual I saw several boats plane between boats that had flags up and were 150 yards apart. We watched as we cleaned our scallops on the boat.Image

Uploaded with ImageShack.usWe headed up the Wakulla to see how far we would need to go to find manatees(my wife loves manatees) to take the family to go see in a couple of weeks. Sure is a beautiful place.Image

Uploaded with ImageShack.usAfter swimming it was time to head in for some boat ramp follies. It took 30 minutes to get out. Had another great day on the water. :-D Image

We were headed back out of the river and my nephew recongized your son from his picture and the hat.
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?

I hope so. We found a pretty good new spot and checked out an old one that was covered in scallops. Hope to show them a good time. Will be there 1st time ever. :-D
