Red Snapper and Scallops

Summer is definantly in full swing and plenty to keep us all busy over the next several months. Red snapper season opens this Friday and there are plenty of them around in depths from 80 - 130ft with plenty of big red grouper to fill the box. The Whale Sharks have also made a few apperances due west of John's Pass. The Pasco scallop season will start on July 1st and there dosn't appear to be a shortage this year up off Anclote. Visibility off JP has been typical for summer with 5-15 ft in depths of 30-65ft. Clearwater up to Anclote has been a little better with visibility being 10-20ft in the same depths. The Vis. isn't as good but at least the water finally hit the 80 degree mark. If you really want to see then the springs have been crystal clear. Hopefully this weather this weekend will calm down so we all can get out.
