Rocklobster, my little avatar there, myself and some neighbors are wrapping up a week of scalloping and floundering and thought I would post the results.



The weekend started off with a surprise, I was backing the trailer into its spot at our cottage and almost hit CAPT Tony (Voodoo Lounge). Small world. Unfortunately they were leaving the next day (or maybe it was a good thing after the jello shooters). :sick



They helped us out though. We checked some old spots one our first day and pretty came up with zilch. Tony had told us that they had gotten some right behind the cottages so we stopped on the way in and did OK, at least the day was not a zero. :bowdown



The next three days we were working shallow water on the east side of the bay because we had some newbies with us, as well as the kids. The shallow water was a better training area that the deeper water and the scallops were there, but smaller with decent size meats. Still, they were smaller scallops. That being said, we were looking for the "mother lode" of big scallops so Wednesday rocklobster and I hit a deeper spot that had yielded consistent full limit days in 2006. That yielded a total of 5 scallops in 15 minutes so we joined our friends back in the shallow water. Just goes to show that now two years are the same and why it is called "fishing" instead of "catching." :banghead



Thursday we decided to hit some of the old bomb craters to the east of Black's Island and were pulling about 12 per hole. Big scallops with big meats but while I was down in one hole, rocklobster watched 6 boats beeline for the same spot to the south of us. It was just the three Kennedys so we joined the crowd. We limited for the three of us in about an hour and a half. I looked at the charts and it turned out we were on the channel to the north of the 2006 honey hole.



Tony, we found the mother lode, just on the second to last day. Typical. :doh



Needless to say, we were one of the first boats on station today and easily limited out with our seven people. Note the quarter in the bowl of scallop meats to give a relative size measurement. Unfortunately our footprint is too large to hit it on the way out tomorrow but I have posted some pics below. If anyone is heading to PSJ PM me and I will provide some better information. Yahoo!!!
