(6/15/26)Scallop season in Steinhatchee Florida is upon us once again! Wooo Hooo. The whole town is hoping this special time of year. Great days on the water snorkeling for those gems of the sea with family and friends. I liken it to an Easter Egg hunt. Last one in is a rotten egg. I have a feeling we will have a good harvest this year as pressure was strangely light last year after the hurricanes and damage to the town kept many folks away. Well we’re open for business and rocking! Season June 15 to Laborday. We also do charters in Crystal River, FL. That season opens July 1st!
(June 18, 2026) Had some fine folks for Tennessee today for the day. Fishing Palm Coast was fun and the company was good. Fish totals for the cooler were a whiting , 3 flounder, sea bass, and mangrove snapper. Had a steady bite all morning with the tide change in the morning. It died off for a while then turned back on late. One flounder had the scar of a previous close call in life making it unique. Too many shorts in a mixed bag to count.
What a fun day fishing Palm Coast Florida with with little Stella and parents. She was very proud to bait her own hook and wanted to climb in the fishing tower…. that was a no. Ha. The bite died at about 9:30 after some fun lady fish, a few nice mangrove snapper, several short sheepshead and some jacks. Fun morning anyway even though the chew was off.
These guys were the best, caught over 75 fish out of Steinhatchee Florida despite 89 degree water. Yes many short trout. Hey it’s summer. The bite was strong early with a couple big trout and some solid sea bass for the skillet. The sharks gave us some fun drag rippin fights too.
Scallop season is in full swing Crystal River and Steinhatchee FL. To me it’s more about the time with family and friends than the catch. ( Not that loading the cooler isn’t the goal) Took Logan and family out in Crystal River for a first time scallop trip. Had a short learning curve and away they went. book now 386-986-7914
