Stayed at…read more@SteinhatcheeRiverInn for the weekend and found Captain Mike Baker through the staff @RiverHavenMarina. He was available on really short notice for a sunset cruise to Marker 1 in the Gulf of Mexico. Pretty ride, great conversation. A highlight of the weekend! Rained 29" on my short trip so no scalloping. Rescheduled but bad weather due to Hurricane Dorian so missed the season this year. Scheduled a quick visit for a Steinhatchee River nature tour upstream. The river is beautiful and the Captain is very friendly. It was a wonderful peaceful ride. Next time, I'll schedule a fishing trip!

On our earlier trip this season we used another marina but they didn't have any availability with led us to the River Club. There's a sign you pass heading out of the channel into the Gulf which says the River Club has the newest fleet. Let me say that the boats are gorgeous. Whether a skiff like we rented or a tritoon, everything looked great. The 24' skiff was immaculate (save some prop scuffing). The only nit about the boat is that I would have preferred a larger GPS display. When you're unfamiliar with the area (as are most people, I assume, in the rental business) the small screen made it more challenging to get a big picture of where you were with respect to landmarks. The staff was excellent. From Melinda in the front office to Kyle checking us out at the boat and everyone in between, the service was top notch. The Club is going to be making sweeping changes in growth. The cabins are growing from 15 to over 30. A new clubhouse is in the works along with other new additions. This is really going to be a cool spot to stay and I know we'll be making another trip back.

Another Amazing Scalloping Adventure with Capt. Tony Mathis!…read more Just wrapped up another fun and successful 2-day scalloping trip with our favorite local guide, Capt. Tony Mathis of YknotScallop.com! Despite it being late in the scalloping season and the challenges posed by recent weather--especially following a Category 1 hurricane that brought several inches of fresh rainwater to Steinhatchee--Capt. Tony delivered beyond our expectations. We fully anticipated tough conditions with scallops being scarce, yet Capt. Tony worked his magic and helped us hit our limit not once, but two days in a row! As you can see from our photos, everyone had a fantastic time both on and off the water. We wrapped up the weekend with a delicious dish of garlic lemon butter scallops over pasta, celebrating our hard-earned catch in style. If you're looking for an unforgettable scalloping experience, Capt. Tony is the one to book! #Scalloping #Steinhatchee #YknotScallop #YknotFish #ScallopSeason #FishingGuide
