1 SCALLOPING Presented by Tom Putnam Half Hitch Hosted by Bob Fowler (850) marinemax.com treasureislandmarina.net halfhitch.com 1
2 BAY SCALLOPS Bay Scallops (Argopecten irradians) live in shallow, nearshore waters along Florida s Gulf coast, from Pensacola to the Florida Keys. These bivalves are usually found nestled in seagrass beds and are easily distinguished from other bottomdwelling animals by their electric blue eyes. Bay scallops are capable of swimming by opening and closing their shells rapidly to generate thrust, which can make catching them more challenging. 2
3 BAY SCALLOP BASICS Bivalve mollusk Historically throughout Florida s west coast to West Palm Beach on east coast. Short-lived: months Inhabits shallow bays and estuaries Seagrass dependant 3
4 SCALLOP REGULATIONS Commercial harvest prohibited in state waters Open Season: July 1 st September 24 th, 2012 Fishing license required Bag limits: 2 gallons per person whole or 1 pint of meat per person per day 10 gallons whole or ½ gallon shucked meat limit per vessel per day Harvest methods: By hand Landing or dip net Must remain in authorized areas while in possession of scallops on the water. 4
5 WHERE TO SCALLOP Pasco/Hernando line northwest to west bank of Mexico Beach canal (Bay County) 5
6 EQUIPMENT Swim mask Snorkel Fins/water shoes Small mesh bag Divers-down flag (required by law) 6
7 CLEANING SCALLOPS Insert knife blade or sharpened spoon between shells and cut away the muscle at its attachment to the top shell 7
8 CLEANING SCALLOPS Remove the dark innards by gently scraping from hinge to front with knife or spoon 8
9 CLEANING SCALLOPS Scrape away the scallop muscle from bottom shell* 9

Where found: INSHORE and/or NEARSHORE over grass, sand and sandy bottoms; move into slow-moving or still, deep waters in cold weather. Size: common to 4 pounds on west coast, larger on east coast. Florida Record: 15 lbs., 6 oz. World Record: 17 lbs., 7 oz Ft. Pierce, FL Remarks: matures during first or second year and spawns INSHORE from March through November; often in association with seagrass beds; lives mainly in estuaries and moves only short distances; adults feed mainly on shrimp and small fish; prefers water temperatures between 58 and 81 degrees F and may be killed if trapped in shallow water during cold weather; longevity 8 to 10 11

Where found: INSHORE species around oyster bars, seawalls and in tidal creeks; moves NEARSHORE in late winter and early spring for spawning, gathering over debris, artificial reefs and around navigation markers. Size: INSHORE, 1 to 2 pounds; OFFSHORE, common to 8 pounds. Florida Record: 12 lbs., 2 ozs. World Record: Remarks: feeds on mollusks and crustaceans such as fiddler crabs and barnacles; famed nibblers, prompting the saying that "anglers must strike just before they bite." 14

17 TARPON First 1 st full moon in June to the last full moon in August Lots of traveling fish & difficult to get to eat Use small baits, light fluorocarbon leader to get bite 17
18 CHART #
19 ROD ACTION Light tip rods are more sensitive but lack backbone for pulling fish off their wreck Long slow action rods are called picking poles Easy to feel bite but very poor leverage Stand up vs. picking Pole 19
20 SPINNING vs. CONVENTIONAL Best for casting Poor leverage, limited drag Best leverage Best drag, poor casting 20
21 SUPER BRAID vs. MONO Mono Reasonable priced Able to stretch Multiple colors Has memory Braid Zero Stretch Small Diameter No memory Can not color, coat only not able to die Pricey Very durable 21
22 HIVIS, CLEAR, COLORED MONO If using Hi Vis use long mono leaders Mono is a light transmitter similar to fiber optics Use a variegated mono to reduce light transmittal 22
23 POWER PRO Low stretch helps with hook set Keep fish from getting in the bottom Small diameter increased line capacity Less water drag High abrasion 23
24 POWER PRO Knots with only 2 or 3 twist do not work well with braids most knots with 6 or more twist will work best knots palomar Uni Bimini twist When using Super Braid s most knives and wire cutters will not work scissors, preferable braid scissors work best. Visit powerpro.com for knot tying directions. Palomar Knot 24
25 UNI to UNI KNOT 25
26 LANDING NETS Tangle free nets allow you to net a fish with lure. The lure will not get tangled in netting. Rubber nets are great to release fish. Doesn t have the rough knotting that would damage the fish and remove it s protective slime. 26
27 FLUOROCARBON Great Leader High abrasion resistance Stiffer Larger Diameter Same density as water Carbon fleck stops light transmittal Has UV inhibitors last longer in sun Very slick, passes through guides easily 27
28 BAIT Shrimp all fish love LY s great bait hard to keep alive Pinfish (Choffer) hardy good bait Finger Mullet hardy good bait 28
29 CATCHING BAIT Sabaki catching bait on bare hook Great to catch most small baits 29
30 Live Chumming Chumming with live baits. When baits hit the water it s like they are jumping to avoid predators. Also sound and vibration attracts attention. 30
31 Lure Color Match the bait & water color Clear water: light color bottoms to lures with darker tops Dark Water: Gold & darker bottoms & colors Red to indicate injured or hurt fish 31
32 Best saltwater plastic bait ever made. Although not a true plastic. Available in all popular shapes & sizes. Biodegradable Leeches out scent as used, and when placed back in the container the bait will absorb the scent to regenerate the bait. Gulp 32
33 FLOATS Acts as a strike detector & also can be use to stimulate fish popin top of water when feeding. 33
34 GRUBS Work slow, with short poppin motion: Great fishing ledges & holes. 34
35 CASTING SPOONS & PLUGS Works great fishing on flats. Use gold spoons in tannic (brown) water & silver in clear water. 35
36 HOOKS & LEADS Treble hooks are illegal for Redfish, Trout & Pompano when using natural bait. Circle hooks work best for live baits. Remember with circle hooks, don t jerk, just reel. To be a legal circle hook, the hook point must be 90 degrees to the hook shank
37 DIURNAL TIDES Because of East/West shore line & the effect of our Bay we only have 2 tides daily 1 high 1 low 37
38 DRIFT ANCHORS When drift fishing use a drift anchor to slow down the effect of wind Will also pull in tide direction 38
39 POLLING When fishing shallow water, Pole instead of motoring to avoid damage to sea grass You can be fined for destroying grass beds 39
40 TROLLING MOTOR FISHING Using a trolling motor to easily move up or down the current & to where you spot fish 40
41 TAILING REDS North shore of East Bay entering the Intercostals, lots of oyster beds favorite place for Reds 41
42 WADE FISHING Preferred by most good anglers fishing shallow water. Easy to approach fish or schools without spooking them Use 8-81/2 Rod to pick bait up high to get greater casting distance 42
43 PILING FISHING-SHEEPSHEAD Sheepshead hang around pilings eating crustaceans Great structure fish 43
44 GRASS BEDS Now protected by law Shallow water is marked with signs When fishing shallow water, Pole instead of motoring to avoid damage to sea grass You can be fined for destroying grass beds 44
45 FLY FISHING Ultimate light tackle fishing. Great for site casting Easy to have line out & pick up & cast to fish without retrieving line with one motion 45
