Water Temperature & Tide Information

Every year, from July 1 to mid-September, scalloping comes to Citrus County. Part snorkeling experience, part treasure dive and part saltwater fishing trip, scalloping along the unspoiled shores of Crystal River and Homosassa provides a salty adventure to fishers of all ages. Citrus County’s bay scallops rest under about five or six feet of water, just offshore along the grassy lip of the Gulf of Mexico. All it takes is a snorkel, a mask, a mesh bag and a saltwater fishing license to get in on the action.

Recent scalloping seasons have been fantastic. Seafood lovers from all over the Sunshine State and beyond ventured to Citrus to dive for the meaty morsels, having an ocean of fun as they literally bagged their limits.

The bag limit is 2 gallons of whole scallops (in the shell), or 1 pint of scallop meat per person per day. In addition, no more than 10 gallons of whole scallops or 1/2 gallon of scallop meats may be possessed aboard any vessel at any time. You may harvest scallops only by hand or with a landing or dip net. Scallopers must remain in the legal scalloping area (from Mexico Beach to the Pasco-Hernando county line) while in possession of scallops on the water including the point where they return to land.

Dunnellon Farmers Market at the Historic Depot

 

Dunnellon Farmers Market opens at the Historic Train Depot of Dunnellon Tuesday, March 23rd and continues each Tuesday from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the depot.  The market started Oct. 6, 2009 as “Green Market Tuesday” at the corner of Walnut & Cedar Streets but needed better visibility and so is being moved to Highway 41, the major north/south artery through Dunnellon.

The name is being changed to better promote our local farmers and encouraging local families to grow vegetables and share their overflow with the community by selling at the market. The new location affords the luxury of holding the market rain or shine, hot or cold because of the indoor/outdoor venue.

For more information, contact Sam Scott  at (352) 229-1030

 

 

The Historic Depot in Dunnellon is open Tuesdays from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. for fellowship, games and free coffee.
