Scallop season is currently underway in Pasco County, offering residents and visitors a chance to harvest fresh seafood from local waters. The season will remain open until August 18, providing ample time for enthusiasts to participate. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, harvesting must be done by hand or with a landing or dip net. This follows the recent start of scallop season in neighboring Citrus and Hernando counties, which began last week. Those regions will have an extended season that continues through September 24. The regulations ensure sustainable practices while allowing for recreational fishing activities during the summer months.
