Apalachicola Bay
Spending the week at St. George Island. My first trip bringing the Seacraft and it has been fun. We started out scalloping in the St. Joe Bay and have been fishing as well.
Triple limit of Scallops.  26.99" Redfish.  Erline docked at Boss Oyster in Apalachicola wondering about what life would have been like as a full time shrimper......

Boat looks good on the water and looks like it sits real nice with that motor.

Connor,
Scallop season closed September 25, so Will caught the tail end. Normally, it closes September 10, but they extended the season last year and this year to encourage gulf recreational activity in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon spill. If you want to go scalloping next year, give me a shout. The season opens July 1, and we're close to prime scallop country. We find them in the grass flats in 2' - 8' of water, so your freediving skills won't be challenged. But be forewarned; it's a lot more fun to cath 'em than to clean 'em. Dave

Know what you mean about cleaning vs catching. All my scalloping has been in St Joe Bay at the first of the season when they are a lot smaller than wtenglish's. His look a whole lot easier.
If I don't have a Bahamas trip on order, a September scallop trip sounds like a winner. Connor

Thanks for the compliments guys. Blue Heron is correct, we caught the last weekend of the season. I was surprised how many big scallops were still around that late in the year. We got those in 2' -3' of water to the southwest of Black's Island. My advice would be not to necessarily go try to get a limit for everyone on your boat. Drink plenty of cold beverages, enjoy yourself and enjoy less cleaning that way.

Will,
The boat's looking sharp. Good to see you out enjoying it after putting all that work into it. I still haven't made it over to the St. Johns for the shrimping. Did you give it a try? Last I heard, a week or two ago, they were still catching them in Green Cove. Dave
