We went this year. We got our limit in three hours. We went out of Chassahowitzka. It is just north of Bayport. There are scallops this year. They are deeper than normal. At least when we went. Oh yeah don't run down the Chaz unless you like buying props and lower units or have a shallow running skiff.
Well I went out of Bayport yesterday and had a blast. This was my first time scalloping so there was a learning curve. I didn't know the waters or even where to look for them.. Found my out the channel and I spotted the flotilla of boats with dive flags up. So that narrowed down where I should start looking! I brought my girlfriend, my Friend John and his son and daughter. They all had fun snorkeling around. I was surprised to find a small reef that was barely four feet below the surface. We limited out with ten gallons. Cleaning them was a learning curve too. We all are sunburned and found sore muscles we didn't know we had but I can't wait to go again! Now I just have to go get some butter and garlic!
