Great job Jim. Were the scallops in fairly shallow water? I always thought you could only get them deep.

When Wareham and Marion had enough resource to support a commerical season in the early to mid-eighties, I used to get a kick out of the fact that I could be towing along in my boat, and some guy would go walking by me with a dip net! That sure doesn't happen in offshore commercial scalloping.

salt ponds and lagoons are having a great year. I just dip net (in waders) (waist deep) with the wife (simple pleasures with friends and family).. It is fun to poke around with a peeper and see them all.
I am not that serious about it anymore. (I use to be a comm digger on LI (GSBay) and did scalloping in the winter with a dredge. I just do it for good eats and the fun of being around the water now. (And I like to look at my wife in her waders...it is a bizzare turn-on for me.  )
I heard the comm guys pulled 600 bushel out of the lagoon last weekend
Scallops are a weird critter...beyond all those eyeballs looking at you, they only live about 1.5 years breed and die (unlike hardshell clams). If we don't take the adults after they have reproduced they will just die anyway and feed the greencrabs. May as well enjoy the harvest. The key to a good harvest is high water quality and eelgrass ponds. I think BeachWalkers Island has the primo environment for scallops, MV is a distant second. I know MV boosts the harvest and grows them in cages Nantucket is all natural harvest. |

Those look like nice eyes 
At a bushel an hour your opening at a pretty good clip. Brings back a lot of memories... I used to open for my parents when they went commercially. |

I remember bay scallops being quite a bit harder than sea scallops to open, at least for someone who's never done it. Back when they were commercially viable all along SE Mass, I remember the men & women in the sh#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g houses bangin' 'em out with a OUICKNESS. Offshore we open about 4 bushel in anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes depending on the size (count).

Just think... the last thing the scallop sees before before he's dismantled and his life is over... |
