like this?

I took my kayak out this evening for the first time in about two months. Came across this large colony of fiddler crabs. Didn't catch any fish, but I did stumble across a large scallop bed. The season opens July 1st, so you can bet I'll be filling some buckets in about two weeks. I love scallops...mmm.

Thats COOL Orvis!

Do you get any gators in the brackish water like that?
We just spotted a 5 footer this week right beside the road.
It was so close my 3-1/2 year old rolled up the window in the truck!

Have yo caught any pompano?
They are getting close to the beach now.
Its about time.

GREAT PHOTOS!
Dont forget to go back for the scallops

I haven't seen any gators yet, but I've heard they are out there.

I caught a real small pomp about two months ago, but that was it. What is a good lure to catch them on? The one I caught was on shrimp.

Yah, I'm not gonna miss a chance at harvesting some scallops. I'll probably go out a few days July 4th weekend and take my daughter along with me.
 
I have a video we shot here on how to catchem & turnem into meat and cookem.
Send me your address and I'll shoot ya a dvd copy.
Its info direct from the pompano master don young.
(he's the obewan of pompano)
My editing sucks but the info is there.

QuickDraw,
That is ALOT OF CRABS!
I bet you could hear them moving from a ways off
