Scalloping in the Tampa Area, Florida

Scalloping

SCALLOPING IN PASCO COUNTY IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON CERTAIN DATES - CALL FOR DETAILS

This the first time since 1994 that scalloping has been permitted this close to Tampa. We are only a 40 minute drive from Downtown Tampa / Clearwater Beach. The Florida bay scallop grows and lives in the shallow (4 to 10 feet deep) seagrass beds that are common in our area.

Florida residents between the ages of 16 and 65 must have a current Florida saltwater fishing license to collect scallops. All non-residents over the age of 16 will need a saltwater fishing license. This can be purchased over the phone (888-fish-florida) or online (myfwc.com).

You can rent a pontoon boat from us to go scalloping and drive yourself, but we HIGHLY recomend choosing one of the captained packages above as our captains know where the best scalloping areas are! Also, some of the BEST scalloping is in areas where we do not permit self drive pontoons due to dangerous rocks and shoals. Our captains know the scalloping area very well and can avoid these dangers.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED TO GO SCALLOPING?

You will need a mask, snorkel, fins and a mesh bag in which to harvest your scallops. Gloves are optional as scallops do not bite. You can bring your own scalloping gear. You will also need a bucket or container in order to measure your catch. Daily Bag Limit: 2 gallons whole bay scallops in shell, or 1 pint of bay scallop meat per person.
