Scalloping Keaton beach 6/23/18.

[Hit-n-Miss]

Daniel and his son got the chance to go scalloping with me today. It’s been two years since he’s been with me and wanted to give his boy a first experience doing it.

.

. Got two the ramp at 7:00 and headed out. Decided to do a little fishing for a while before swimming. Wasn’t to long before little man catches his first keeper trout.

. Then he got a shark.

. After that it was swimming time. Let’s just say that the onshore winds made scalloping tough. Could not see anything from the boat. So it was trolling for shark time to try to find them.

. They were hard to find today. It was weird the scallops seamed to suddenly appear after 2:00. We wound up with a two man limit, 2 trout and 2 seabass. And Daniel’s boy picked up his first scallops.

. And then it was off to the ramp follies.

. But still was a great day on the water.

I took a crew of 6 offshore out of Keaton Saturday. It was rough!!! The 2-3 forecast was more like 4-6. It took us 2 hrs to go 28 miles but we caught our limit of snapper pretty fast. I did see some nice stringers of trout come in and plenty of scallops. Congrats on staying with it in the tough winds.
