florida scalloping

Anybody ever do any scalloping on the florida west coast? I am looking for idea of where to go,launch,areas to look for scallops,etc.I know most is done north of pasco county in the gulf,but I don't know where the ramps are,what cities to get a hotel in and such. I did it as a kid off of tarpon springs and now I would like to show my 8 year old how much fun it is. I understand most of the good spots are in the big bend area. Any help appreciated.

Hi Steve, I never knew that there were scallops we could get here, I love those, just can't afford them, I used to clam in South Jersey as a kid and we "treaded" them at low tide in the back bays, If you do find out anything on this please let me know, Our boat is now up at our other property outside of Deland, Maybe if you have a weekend we can hook up with our boats and go scalloping. We would love to bring back to the West Palm Beach area some fresh shucked scallops, We are definately never to old to learn new tricks to catch them, used to be too much fun when I was a kid a long time ago in a place far away!
Hope to hear from you soon.....Dan

Either Crystal River or Steinhatchee are good spots. Here's a link to the Sea Hag marina in Steinhatchee that can give you some information. Also to a link to Gainesville Offshore Fishing Club that has some good scalloping information.
