What a fun day! Brought Jema along with Harrison and Brantley on Saturday. Caught some redfish. Went to Grassy for swimming, ice cream, and peanuts. Then finished the after noon at Deadman Bay Marina for great food and music.

Harrison boated this beautiful trout today. Caught on LIVETARGET Lures artifical jerk bait. The action was top of the charts. . This young man fished hard and it paid off. Great job!!

Bay scallops grow fast, but they only live about a year. The little ones you see in early season are tomorrow’s breeders. If too many undersized scallops get harvested before they spawn, the population can crash. Fewer adult scallops means fewer eggs released into the Gulf, and that hurts future seasons for everyone.
Scallops also help the health of the seagrass flats by filtering water. Healthy scallop populations help keep the ecosystem cleaner and more balanced for fish, crabs, and other marine life that depend on those grass beds.
In places like Steinhatchee, scalloping is more than recreation. It fuels local guides, marinas, restaurants, bait shops, rentals, and family traditions. Protecting smaller scallops helps keep the fishery strong year after year instead of turning it into a “remember when the scalloping used to be good?” story told over melted ice in a cooler.
A good rule on the Gulf flats: if it looks tiny, let it ride the tide another few weeks. Today’s little scallop becomes tomorrow’s limit.
