Bay scallop season ends Thursday

Thursday is the last day to catch bay scallops before the season closes for the year.

The final day of harvesting is Thursday, September 24th.

Bay scallops can be taken in state waters from the Pasco-Hernando county line north and west to the west bank of the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County.

The bag limit is 2 gallons of whole bay scallops or 1 pint of meat per person, per day, with a vessel limit of 10 gallons of whole bay scallops or a half-gallon of meat.

FWC scallop researchers will conduct underwater surveys after the season closes to assess the scallop population.

While the season is open, scallop harvesters can assist researchers by completing an online survey, indicating where they harvest scallops, how many they collect and how long it takes to harvest them.
