Recreational bay scallop season for Gulf County, including all of St. Joseph Bay, opens on Wednesday, August the 16th and will remain open through September the 24th.
That includes all state waters from the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County to the westernmost point of St. Vincent Island in Franklin County.
Florida has regionally-specific open seasons for Bay scallops which means the timing of the summer bay scallop season will vary to provide a better scalloping experience for the public and maximize the benefits to various regions.
Bag and vessel limits for 2023 are 2 gallons of whole bay scallops in the shell or 1 pint of bay scallop meat per person, with a maximum of 10 gallons of whole bay scallops in the shell or a 1/2-gallon bay scallop meat per vessel.
Scallops may be collected by hand, or with a landing or dip net.
