Reel Shallow Fishn Charters Fishing Charter Prices

Slip into the waters off Bayport and search the grassy seafloor for scallops hiding among the blades below. Captain Gary uses his local knowledge to guide you toward productive scalloping areas, giving you more time to snorkel, explore, and gather scallops with family or friends. Unlike a traditional fishing charter, this hands-on experience puts you directly in the water, where spotting each scallop becomes part of the fun. Guests must bring their own snorkeling gear, so pack a mask, snorkel, and fins that fit comfortably. Whether you are trying scalloping for the first time or returning for another seasonal outing, Captain Gary helps make the trip easy to enjoy. Bring your curiosity and get ready for a memorable day collecting fresh scallops along Florida’s Gulf Coast.
