Scallop season
Florida Fishing

Well, Scallop season opens July 1st on the west coast of Florida in Hernando county and even with my physical problems I'm going. I'm setting up a charter trip. The limit is 2 gallons per person. I've invited my daughter that out fished me on the Sea Trout charter trip she setup last summer. Hoping I can out do her on scallops. The last time I took her for scallops she was 12 years old. The first scallop she caught she keep it alive till we got home and she put it in the salt water aquarium we had. She loved that ring of blue eyes it had. Notice the past tense there. Well on previous trips out her and her brother had caught a cow fish and some star fish. I didn't know that star fish ate scallops. The largest star fish caught the scallop pried that thing open and commenced to eat it. Of course the Cow fish got into it as well. After that we ate all the scallops we caught. Pictured are the only Red we-she caught and her largest trout.

Sounds like a fun time. Hope you’re feeling better these days. Tell your daughter very nice red and trout there. Years back, it’s illegal now, we hunted scallops in Pensacola bay towards the naval base. Bare footed, shuffling your feet until you felt an urchin. Reach down and there the scallop would be. Good luck on catching them.

Four it's up and down with the health. Stoma is least of my problems. Chemotherapy made a mess of my heart and lungs.Right now heart is stable and I can get 92percent O2.
Didn't know that scallops hung with the urchins.

Kerry That not a story. It's true! I loved every minute of raising my kids and proud as a peacock of how they turned out. My daughter is across the state but she takes care of her old man. I have her listed with the VA as my spokes person. She calls the VA every time I have trouble and does the leg work to see which ever doctor I need. Just wish she was closer.

Jeremy God willing you'll get to see them on the boat, bring shelled and fryed and I do have an underwater camera I hope to use too.

Oh no, I wasn't insinuating it wasn't real. Am so sorry about your health.

Only got stuck once in a bunch of trips. Not as bad as a catfish stick but you definitely know you kicked one. It also helps if you’re less inebriated while searching for them. 😳😎🤣👍
