Scallops are sensitive to water quality. I don't know if that starts to drop off as you get closer to major population centers (eg closer to Pinellas). If I was going out fishing in my boat that I had at Anclote river park I think I'd scout out some spots.

I'm renting a boat when my bro comes into town during the mini-season. We'll be cruising on an 18' pontoon. I have high hopes the scallops should be there. They've had over a decade to re-establish their #'s without a legal harvest season.
