Hello Big Bend Scallopers, I promised a scallop report. The season has been open a week and the dock talk has been about the water visibility. After all, if you can’t see them you can’t pick ’em up. There are scallops north of the Steinhatchee River towards Keaton and south […]

Rainy days have a way of making me sorry, not that I need much help. But watching a few recorded fishing shows makes me want to talk about fishing when the weather is bad. So here I am watching Debby sit out there in the Gulf and dump large amounts […]

It’s going to be interesting to see how Spring comes in this year. As you all know, the winter has been very mild. Speckled Trout are on the flats with Gulf water temps in the 60’s. I still find the bigger Trout near a creek ditch or pothole. But remember, […]

Big Bend friends, Humble apologies is all I have for not submitting a report in such a long time. I was recently scolded by a customer who told me they checked in from time to time to read what I posted. Yes I’ve been busy, but plain old sorryness is […]

Greetings from Steinhatchee. It’s still summer here, folks are out trying to get one or two more bags of Scallop meat for the freezer before the extended season closes Sunday the 25th of September. This hot weather makes scalloping very refreshing and a great way to top off a box […]
