Crystal River Scalloping: Clear Waters, Family Fun & Gulf Adventure

Action-packed day from the get-go! Summer in Crystal River, FL brought us clear conditions for an early morning adventure with Hustons Outdoor Adventures. I had the pleasure of taking Michlle and their crew of 8 out for a half-day scalloping trip. The waters were perfect for our excursion, setting the stage for what promised to be a memorable outing on the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf.

With our gear rigged and ready, we set out to explore the rich scalloping grounds Crystal River is famous for. Our 4-hour scallop adventure had us employing a variety of techniques to make the most of our time on the water. We started with some sight fishing, taking advantage of the clear conditions to spot our quarry. As the day progressed, we mixed it up with some bottom fishing and even did a bit of trolling to cover more ground. While we didn't land any fish this time around, the thrill of the hunt and the experience of being out on the water made for a fantastic day. We wrapped up the trip with great camaraderie and plenty of stories to share.
