scallops are really thick in sand pockets and short grass, if you find a sandy spot, swim around the edge where the grass starts and check with in a 5 foot radius. best depth is around 5-6 foot during high tide
Great video! Exactly the info I was looking for! This will be our first time ever scalloping in Stienhatchee & I was wondering what the boat ramp situation was like.
Yes you can, however I would recommend going out of one of the different creeks' boat ramps instead of the Steinhatcchee river. There's a creek North of the river called Dallus Creek that is perfect for a Jon Boat.
This was filmed pre season , and typically the scallops are much smaller the earlier in the year. I didn't keep any of these as it was for demonstration purposes only.
I am thankful for your video. I watched vids from FWC, not anywhere near as informative as this. Thanks from a newbie
Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to leave the comment! I hope you have a great time out there Scalloping!
Great information for Steinhatchee!
Thank you! Hopefully you can get out and have some fun!

Thank you for the tips and update! I know water north is super dirty right now with all the rain!

That's great feedback! We just got off the water and got our limit so they're thick out there! Good luck and be safe!
Thanks for all the information. Do you know if there's a good place to go it you don't have access to a boat?
That may be tough, do you have any sort of water craft like a canoe or kayak?
The only place you may could do it would be either Keaton Beach or Dekle beach.
Can I take my Jon Boat out or is it too small of a watercraft? Thanks for the video!

@NickeeGee how far Noth is Dallus Creek? What town is it considered? I only have a Jon boat also.
@@kkttss1928 it's maybe like 15 minutes north of Steinhatcchee
Can you anchor in the seagrass?
@@tw11187 yes you can!
There are only 1 scallop, which is skeptical, that should have been a keeper. The others are too small.
