Oil spill

[phatdaddy]

RR, kinda the same here (panama city), no real oil yet, just a few tar balls here & there, but no mats or sludge. i was snorkling in our bay monday and noticed when you looked down intothe water column it was clear, but looking horizonal it was murky. also noted a definate thermocline where the cool fresh water was on top of the warm salyt water, but we have had tons of rain in the lasat 2 weeks.
how where the scallops, i've gottn reports from st joe and they are plentiful but small. i usually don't go unitl the first of august because of the size/

Thanks for clearing that up. That would also explain the 72 degree water temp on the Suwannee.
As far as Scallops, the weather was dicey. We were dodging rain all day and the sun was less than cooperative. We got some but not enough for an appetizer. All reports had about the same tone. They were there just poor conditions. The size of the shell was running small but the meat was not much smaller than late season IMO. Planning to give it another shot in a week or two. Homasassa was red hot this past weekend if you can endure the boat traffic.
