Steinhatchee scallop intel

[phatdaddy]

Well, not all things went as planned. We went, but the weather didn't cooperate. Was beautiful Monday and Tuesday. We got there Tuesday afternoon bout 4, got checked in and rode around town to check it out. That took about 12 minutes, so went to the Sea Hag Marina for a beer. Sat on the deck and watched happy people clean scallops for an hour. Got psyched up for the next day. Woke up to rain squalls and strong onshore winds.

Saw a 3-4 hour window bout 11, got out to scallop grounds , hit the water for 30 minutes. Got 16, not great, but a start. Then the squall hit.

Got back in the river for protection. Tried a few more times, but never got back in the water. Woke up this morning to constant rain and squalls. Drove home in the rain for 4 hours and looking for rain all weekend.

Bottom line:
Steinhatchee was great,first time but hopefully not last.
Scalloping, not so great.
Three days with family was worth it.(Ridge is right)
