scallop report?????

[phatdaddy]

anybody done any good this year?
st joe is slim pickens this year. been twice,first time we got 2 gallons of shells that yielded 1/2 pint of meat. very small for this time of year. second time we went to another spot and got 2.5 gallons of shells that yielded a little over a pint. still kind small.

i think the state screwed up by opening up in mid-june, i know they did it 4 years ago because of the bp spill, but every since they did our counts have been getting worse and worse. there is talk of not opening til aug 1 next year.



did manage to pick these up locally sat afternoon. was supposed to rain, so we didn't go to st joe. got tired of watching tv, so wife and since the whaler was already loaded we went across the bay to hunt the elusive nw fl blue crab.

don't know what i hate worse, cleaning crab or scallop..
