Normally, I'm pretty good at scalloping, but this year was a failure.
Friday, launched at Nicks Park and ran south to between the channels at Gulf Harbor. 5' of water with nice grass, but found only a few. Next ran to a bunch of boats in Sand Bay and snorkeled in 2 -5' of water before giving up. Came home with about 1.5 gallons.
Saturday, again launched at Nicks Park and ran 20 miles north to Bayport, Dove in 7' in several spots, gathering 2 gallons before calling it quits. We originally were headed to a spot in Homosassa where a friend of my son's has been getting limits on a daily basis, but that was another 17 miles. My son spotted the gathering of boats off Bayport and decided to stop there.
Maybe it was because we waited till the second week of the season and they had been picked over, but it was the only days my son could make it with his 6.5 year old daughter who loves to snorkle
