Scallop season is off to a strong start in Steinhatchee! Many people are reporting good numbers, with many boats finding limits. Water clarity has improved on calm days, making for excellent visibility in the shallows. The best results are coming from 3 to 6 feet of water. As always, harvest responsibly, leave the small scallops to grow, and fly a dive flag while in the water. It’s shaping up to be another great season

In Steinhatchee, June brings some of the best mixed-action days of the season. Early mornings are producing trout and redfish along the grass flats, while cobia continue cruising the nearshore waters on calm days, giving anglers a shot at exciting sight-fishing opportunities. Scalloping season excitement is building, with clear water and warming temperatures setting up excellent conditions for shallow grass flats. Boaters should target sunny afternoons with light winds for the best visibility. Sunscreen and long sleeve shirts are a must to avoid upcoming sun burns.

Spring patterns are heating up on the flats. Redfish are pushing shallow on incoming tides, feeding around grass and oyster bars. Speckled trout action is strong, especially early morning on topwater over grass flats in 2 to 4 feet. Flounder are starting to show near structure and sandy potholes. Water temps are rising, improving overall bite. Expect consistent action and great sight fishing opportunities over the coming weeks.

As usual with cold water and low tides, the trout bite is great. Trips have been great and many happy clients. I have been advocating safe fish handling to the extreme lately due to high catch volumes. Be mindful of keeping them wet! And using moving lures so as not to gut hook them.

Trout bite has been great. Getting limits of good quality fish quickly. Catching and releasing lots of good keepers.

Fishing is great. Cooler water temps and not a lot of boat traffic has really made for some excellent bites. The trout are hungry and the redfish are healthy.

    Captain Chris was great! We had a wonderful morning on the boat catching a variety of fish. We are already planning another charter with him for next year!

    Captain Melissa was vert nice, professional, and polite. She worked very hard to get us scallops, including finding most of them :-). She moved when she needed to to find us the most productive zones, for which we are very grateful. Two of my party have never scalloped before and thanks to Melissa, they are hooked. We shall return!!
