Was very cloudy/with some rain today so scalloping was tough to say the least. They are pretty small for the most part. If I were you, I would wait a couple of weeks for them to get larger. Got only three that were just smaller than my palm, most were MUCH smaller. On the other hand, the trout were hitting great on the edges of the flats around Blacks Island. Got my limit in an hour and a half!! Most on rootbeer jigs fished SLOWLY on the bottom. Got a 23" and three 20" with very few undersized ones. Also got some flounder is same spot.

As for St. George flats-things have slowed tremendously- mostly undersized trout mixed with some 5# bluefish cruising through. Around the surf side, some more pompano on Nylure Jigs (yellow 1/2 oz.) tipped with small sand fleas always got hit soon, but still got a couple without sand fleas. Redfish have been extremely spooky and tough to catch with many follows and not many strikes. And did I mention, ladyfish everywhere?? Fun, but become a pain after four or five of them in a row! My 8 year old daughter has been having a ton of fun in the surf with the whiting and even caught a nice trout on a small piece of shrimp in the waves. The surf has been very calm the last few days.

Heading back to KY tomorrow so it will **** again dealing with smallmouths in the streams whenever i have the chance and, oh yeah-workl.
