Crystal River Scalloping: Hustons' Top-Rated 4-Hour Adventure

Action-packed day from the get-go! I took Liza and their crew out for a half-day scalloping adventure in Crystal River, FL this summer. The weather cooperated nicely, with partly cloudy skies providing some relief from the July heat. We set out early in the morning from Hustons Outdoor Adventures, ready to make the most of our 4-hour trip on the crystal-clear waters.

With our gear rigged and ready, we headed to some prime scalloping spots. Crystal River is renowned for its excellent scalloping grounds, and I was eager to show Liza and their group of seven why. We employed a mix of techniques, including sight casting and flats fishing, to locate the best scallop beds. The clear waters made it easier to spot our targets, and everyone got into the rhythm of scanning the sea grass for those telltale blue eyes.

While we didn't land any fish on this outing (it being a scallop-focused trip), the crew had a blast snorkeling and collecting scallops. The partly cloudy conditions actually worked in our favor, providing good visibility without the intense glare you sometimes get on sunny days. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, our coolers filled with the day's catch.
