St. Joe scallops

I was down at St. Joe, and Cape San Blas the second week of August. So get this....we had already planned our vacation before we found out the season had been shortened. So we couldn't collect any scallops, although we did look for them anyway. Funny thing is, we looked and looked and found ONE old scallop in all of our looking. Well, later in the week I heard someone ask a DNR guy about the shortened scallop season. He said that scallops had died or migrated to deeper water, and the "most shallow" scallops DNR divers could find were in 18' of water where most people can't get to them because of the depth.
.....and there you go collecting your limit like it's a piece of cake. I wonder what the deal is. Most of the time we looked was when I was fishing the Bayside of St. Joseph State Park on the flats out there, and not Port St Joe itself.
