Steinhatchee Scalloping July 28th 2025
6 Hour Trip – Scalloping on July 27, 2025 • 5 adults
Excellent day on the water with Melissa. We limited our on Scallops easily. We have two maxed out Ziploc bags full of Scallops. Melissa was friendly and knowledgeable exactly what you want for a calm day fishing or Scalloping! The highest recommendation if you want a no nonsense calm day on the water.

4 hour inshore fishing trip.
4 Hour – Inshore Fishing (MAX 4) on July 15, 2025 • 4 adults
Melissa, was a great and friendly captain. We enjoyed the trip even though the fish weren't biting as much as we would have liked. Melissa moved us to different locations as the fish finder prompted. We had several catch and release because of size of the fish, but all in all we really enjoyed the trip.
