Well that was it. Last weekend for scallops. Did some fishing and scalloping. Three speckled trout and about 4 dozen scallops. Snorkeling I saw juvenile Hog Snapper, Stingray, Speckeled Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Grunt, Pilotfish, Jack, Spottail, Pinfish, Lizardfish and Black Seabass. Scalloping was still good, in about 9 feet of water.
My friend Dave took me to school on how to catch fish. I caught the first two short specs and then I got a trash can slam while I watched him catch 2 shark, a dozen trout and the only keepers. I did clean the fish so I was a little more than just ballast.
Saturday was near slick out of Homasassa. As a native I am accustomed to hot weather. When the wind stops completely and the tide goes slack, needless to say it was hot. Hard to drift fish in those conditions.

Ran 49 scallop charters this season. Great clients and limits almost everyday. I really enjoy scallop season and the Gulf around Steinhatchee.
