The thought of loading up on scallops in 5 or 6' of 80+ degree water gives me hungers pangs... Don't tell me - the water is crystal clear, too?
WTG you lucky dogs. Around here you get a misdemeanor on most beaches for digging up a sand crab:rolleyes:

Way to go, Ken. Happy Independence Day!:cool:

cdavisdb 07-04-2013 06:52 PM

Thanks Martin,

I'm familiar with Blacks Island. If that looks cleaned out, I'll look farther south and west.

Ever collect any of the sun ray venus clams?

gofastsandman 07-04-2013 07:25 PM

Are those the ones with green lips?

cdavisdb 07-05-2013 07:40 AM

triangular, shiny shell, pattern looks like a sunrise, 4-6 inches long, eat good, lips are a little green, but not distinctive.

Native to the southeastern Atlantic and Gulf coast. Also a relatively new aquaculture species being grown around Sanibel.

Not what I found but will keep an eye or shoe out. The ones I sat on were creamy white and tan with pale green lips.

martin 07-07-2013 11:45 PM

Not my catch, I found the pic on the www. The ones I catch look like the ones you catch.:D

There used to be an experimental commercial harvest of Venus Sunrays in St Joe Bay, early 1960's. I used to get them along the south shore of Tampa Bay in the early 1980s, yum,yum. Nothing there now. In a couple of weeks, plan to spend a few days poking around St Joe Bay and St Andrews Sound, looking to see if they are still around(and getting piggy with scallops).

Anybody ever been in St Andrews Sound? part of Tindal AFB, not Panama City. On Google Earth, it looks completely undeveloped and unspoiled.

martin 07-13-2013 07:34 AM

St. andrews Sound
 
Aka crooked Island Sound.. Yes very virgin waters and beaches. Tydall launches drones there so when they leave you betta leave...
there is news that tyndall airforce base wants to own all the water around that area as well. Which will be bad for boaters hopefully they will not get there way..
There is excellent floudering, trout redfish spanish mac and pompano when in season.
Tarpon have been spotted there aswell... Lots of sharks and stingwrays . Tons of baitfish and mass amounts of mullets...there is a nice little wreck the sipson of the beach on the east side inabout 15- 20' of water.. Hope this helps..
All in all one of my favorite places to fish and gig flounder at night.. Mj

cdavisdb 07-13-2013 04:54 PM

Sounds perfect. Looking at the closed area, it looks like you can legally stay in the Sound outside of the closed area during a drone closure, you just can't leave. Is that right?


Thanks for the wreak. An E. E. Simpson shows just offshore in 17 ft, at what is probably just east of the sound entrance. Is that the one you are talking about? The coordinates in the fishing guides don't make sense. Do you have a position.

cdavisdb 07-13-2013 05:05 PM

Ah, I found it. But its west of the old pass and not right on the beach. Is there another one?
