Steinhatchee is famous for its prolific inshore waters, so why not come explore them alongside a captain who's been fishing them for over 2 decades? Captain Frank Taylor Jr, an experienced angler and the man behind Rocky Creek Charters, runs a variety of exciting fishing and Scalloping trips in this area.

Whether you're looking to hook a huge Bull Red, or want to introduce your little ones to the water, Capt. Frank has the perfect adventure for you. Grab up to 3 of your friends and head out for a full day on these shallow waters, hooking mighty Redfish and tasty Speckled Trout. In the summertime, why not treat the family to a whole morning of exploring this fishery for fast-moving Scallops?

Capt. Frank has the years of experience needed to put you on fish, or to guide you to the best Scalloping spots in the area. Usually, it'll take you about 10–20 minutes to get on fish, so you'll have plenty of time to cast your line!

Your captain will take you out on board his 24' Carolina Skiff, which is perfect for cruising seriously shallow waters. She's decked out with top-quality navigational gear and life jackets for all ages, so you'll have a secure and comfy journey to the hotspots. If you're fishing, she can accommodate 4 guests. For Scallopers, 6 can come aboard, so bring the whole family!

As well as being an incredible Redfish and Speckled Trout fishery, Steinhatchee is also home to Cobia, Flounder, and Spanish Mackerel. If you'd like to hook these species, or target one in particular, just let your captain know, as his trips are flexible. Once you've reeled in your catch, he'll help you arrange to have it cooked at a local restaurant. This is an additional cost.

Your captain will provide top-quality rods, reels, and tackle for you, as well as lures, live bait, and a valid fishing license for all guests. All you need to do is grab your favorite snacks and drinks, and a cooler for your catch. Join Rocky Creek Charters and cast off on an awesome inshore adventure!

    Capt. Frank was responsive to my questions before our fishing day. He even suggested a different day due to weather conditions. He was on time, friendly, great conversation and we caught fish! I will definitely plan to go out with him again.

    Scalloping success

    Half Day Scalloping Trip (AM) on July 12, 2025 • 5 adults

    Captian Frank did a great job communicating. The meet up location is great and the shower for after scalloping is a great feature. Captian Frank put us on the scallops within 10 minutes of leaving the dock. He is constantly monitoring the weather to ensure your safety. All in all it was a top notch experience.

    GREAT TIME SCALLOPING!

    6 Hour Trip – Scalloping (AM) on July 19, 2024 • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had the best time with Captain Frank! He thought of everything when it came to scalloping and made sure we did not leave without bringing home a bunch of scallops! The boat was fantastic and had plenty of space for our whole family. Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! Captain Frank you are the best! Thank you again for a great trip and making my little girls first scalloping trip one to remember. We can’t wait to come back!

    Scalloping with Captain Frank

    6 Hour Trip – Scalloping (AM) on July 9, 2023 • 5 adults

    This was our second year scalloping with Captain Frank. He was very responsive and honest/upfront that the weather conditions may not be the best, he even offered to refund our deposit and still take us out. We took our chances as we trust his abilities and knowledge as a Captain, he was very understanding and patient with our friend who doesn’t do well in rough waters. Even though the morning was windy and rough, the afternoon turned out beautifully. We caught about 4 gallons of scallops and he even helped us shuck them!! We will come back every year!! Thanks again Captain Frank, would highly recommend any of your trips.

Great time!
Full Day Fishing Trip on May 24, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

We took our 11-year-old son out for a fishing trip to celebrate him moving up to middle school, and it was such a great experience. We didn’t catch many keepers, but we caught several fish throughout the trip and had plenty of action reeling them in. Captain Frank was fantastic! He was attentive the whole time, kept moving us to different spots he knew would be productive, and always made sure our lines were baited and ready to go. He was especially great with our son, which made the trip even more memorable for us. We all had a really fun time and would absolutely book with Captain Frank again!

Hard days/great times
Full Day Fishing Trip on December 8, 2025 • 2 adults

Having chartered at least 30 times I have a pretty good grip on a TRUE charter Captain. Negative tide, north wind 10-15, and spitting rain. And Captain Frank Taylor still put us on and kept us on fish all day. Book a trip and rest assured that it will be money well spent.

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout

thanks, David. Hope to see you guys again!
