Scalloping Econfina 8/25/02
Posted: August 25th, 2002, 12:24 pm
Left St. Marks 8am to go scalloping at the Econfina, found a spot about
3 miles SE of the river. Myself and 11 yo son and a friend with his two
sons 11 and 8, got our limit in about 1 1/2 hours. Great day, water was warm and clear. This was the second time out, first this year, last year we got chased away by a storm about 15 minutes in to diving. This year my son really got an oppurtunity to enjoy the diving, we will be back.
Sometime around 1:30 the wind died and man it got hot
, tried to troll back while cleaning the scallops, but too much weed. Finally about 2 miles from St. Marks the wind picked up again and we drifted. Kids caught alot of small sharks and a few catfish, they had a blast. I'm looking forward to the fall bite.

Thanks again for the report.
