Crystal River Scalloping: Clear Waters, Full Bags with Hustons

Action-packed day from the get-go! I had the pleasure of taking Mark out on a summer scalloping adventure with Hustons Outdoor Adventures in Crystal River, FL. The weather was perfect for our early morning launch, setting the stage for an exciting half-day on the water. As we headed out, I could already tell it was going to be a great day for our 4 Hour Scallop Adventure.

With our gear rigged and ready, we set out to explore the crystal-clear flats that make Crystal River such a prime spot for scalloping. I guided Mark through the basics of sight fishing, which is crucial for spotting those elusive bivalves hiding in the grass beds. We also mixed in some flats fishing and live bait fishing techniques to keep things interesting. Even though we didn't land any fish this time around, the scalloping experience was the real highlight of our trip with Hustons Outdoor Adventures.

The beauty of scalloping is that it's as much about the hunt as it is about the catch. Mark got to experience firsthand why Crystal River is such a hotspot for this unique activity. The clear waters made for perfect visibility, allowing us to spot scallops with ease. While we focused on scalloping, I made sure to point out the diverse marine life that makes this area so special. It's not just about what you bring home, but the memories you make along the way. We wrapped up the trip with great time and smiles all around!
