Crystal River Scalloping: Underwater Treasure Hunt with Local Pros

Action-packed day from the get-go! I took Kirk and their crew out for a half-day scalloping adventure in Crystal River, FL this summer. The weather was partly cloudy, with a chance of storms on the horizon, but that didn't dampen our spirits as we set out at the crack of dawn with Hustons Outdoor Adventures. Crystal River's waters were calling, and we were ready to answer.

Once the stage was set, we dove into our scalloping expedition. While we didn't land any fish on this trip, our focus was on the treasure trove of scallops hiding in the grass flats. We employed a mix of techniques typically used for inshore fishing, adapting them for our scallop hunt. Sight fishing skills came in handy as we scanned the clear shallows for those elusive bivalves. The partly cloudy skies actually worked in our favor, reducing glare and making it easier to spot our quarry. We didn't stick a trophy on this run, but every cast and minute on the water was worth it. The crew's enthusiasm never wavered as we wrapped up our 4-hour adventure with great times and smiles all around!
