My wife and I along a good friend and son got to the landing at 7:00. Wanted to go over the weekend but did not want to be part of that zoo. So we went Friday. Image
Image
We got launched easily and headed out the canal. Decided to fish south today since it was close to where we were going to scallop. Image
Image
Usually the fishing isn’t that great this time of year and we are just killing time before getting in the water. But surprisingly we found a good bite in 7’ of water. Lots of shorts and some keepers. With all the steady action my friends son wanted to keep fishing. That boy can catch fish. But we had to get to swimming. Image
Image
Despite a 70% rain forecast there was no rain all day and almost slick calm. We were a good ways from the armada and the scallops were there. Image
We got our limit and got them cleaned. Then we moved out to deeper water to dump the shells and fish a little while longer. They weren’t biting so we decided to head in. Image
Only took a few minutes to get loaded and head out. Was a great day! Can’t wait to do it again. Image
Forgot the cooler pic today. Note to self: KGILOTD there KIGIHTD not there.

Thanks for the report Greg, looks fun. Are the scallops big this year?

They were average size shells but most of the meats were the size of the last digit of your thumb.
