Scalloping next week? SCALLOP SEASON OPENS June 29th!!
Who's planning on going and where? The last few years have been real good at St Marks. And the couple years before that Keaton was real good. Not sure where to hit first. I was planning on St Marks but after seeing the report I think Keaton will be better.

Looking forward to seeing your report!
Re: Scalloping next week?
We are headed to St. Marks at least one day next week. If it doesn't pan out we will make the drive over to St. Joe. We are staying in Alligator Point. I'll post up a report when I return or maybe even the day after if I think about it.
Good luck everyone!

Probably won't go to St. Marks 'til I hear they have come in.
Re: Scalloping next week?
Lanark is covered up with them. Had some folks go yesterday and scout, they came back with HUGE smiles!
FWC did a count 2 weeks ago and said we were looking better then most places.

Do kids under 16 need a fishing license to harvest scallops?

According to the FWC site you are not required to have a saltwater license until you turn age 16. So under age 16 no license required to fish or scallop.

Each summer, biologists assess bay scallop populations, surveying 10 to 20 stations at each of 10 study sites along the Gulf coast of Florida. At each station, biologists count all scallops within a 600-square-meter area (656 square yards). Surveys are usually initiated in June, and those for study sites open to recreational harvest are completed before the season opens. The table below lists the average number of scallops observed per 600 square meters in areas open to recreational harvest during the summer surveys. Dashes indicate years in which surveys were not conducted.
