Homosassa ScallopingScalloping out of Homosassa, Florida takes place from July 1st and ends September 25th. This destination nestled within Citrus County is world renowned for the scalloping season here. Scallops nestle themselves in the grass beds of the Homosassa River every summer and spawn. Once they have spawned, they die. It is during this time that scallop hunters take to the water to fill up on these delicacies of this shallow water fishery. This is a vacation favorite for families and friends.
