Highlights of Scalloping Trip (AM)
Our morning scalloping trips offer a unique combination of fishing and underwater exploration in the crystal-clear flats around Weeki Wachee.

Local Tips & Conditions
The inshore flats around Weeki Wachee present some of Florida's most pristine fishing grounds, with water clarity that can be exceptional, particularly during morning hours. During summer months, water temperatures rise quickly, making our early 7:30 am launch time strategic for comfort and fishing success. Weather patterns in this region typically feature calm mornings with potential afternoon thunderstorms, which is why our morning trips are scheduled to take advantage of the day's best conditions.
For visiting anglers, it's worth noting that the tides play a significant role in our fishing approach. Incoming tides often bring baitfish closer to shore, creating feeding opportunities along grass flats and mangrove edges. The partly cloudy conditions mentioned for our trip actually create ideal sight fishing scenarios, with enough light to spot fish movement without the harsh glare that can make fish skittish. When fishing these waters, light tackle and natural presentations tend to produce the best results, especially during the warmer summer months when fish can become more selective about what they'll strike.
