With only a few days left in this year's scallop season, some business owners are disappointed with the turnout.
Carrie Lawson, the general manager of the Homosassa Riverside Resort, said business was down nearly 20 percent compared to last year. Lawson contributes the decrease to the rain.
"The rain really put a damper on things," Lawson said.
Down the road at River Safaris and Gulf Charters, business died off a bit, too, but once the sun came out, the scalloping picked up fast.
Carolyn Harmon says the last few weeks of the season have been good.
"It gave the scallops a chance to get a lot bigger and a lot more quantity at the end of the year than previous years," she said.
Business owners are putting the scallop season behind them now and focusing on manatee season, which is right around the corner.
Crystal River has been getting all the attention lately when it comes to manatees. Lawson wants to remind everyone that Homosassa is a great place to see them, too.
"As soon as it gets cold the manatees will come up and stay warm in the springs," Lawson said.
One marina manager in Hernando Beach says scalloping business was down about 10 percent compared to 2014.
