Come and go fishing with Stressed Out Charters and leave all your stress at the dock. Captain Scott has over 34 years of tournament and fishing knowledge. He and his crew specialize in creating memories - from your kid’s first fish to the parent’s largest fish they have ever caught. This isn’t the usual charter, as the crew will try to teach and show how they do what they’re best at. From showing what fish look like on the sonar, to the knots they tie.

Captain Jordan has now joined the Stressed Out team. He is the son of Scott and has fished with his dad since he was little. He has alot of experience fishing the gulf and bays. He is definitely following the footsteps of his dad and grandfather whom taught him everything there is to know in the fishing world.

The 3 & 4-hour trips will be on a 24” Bulls Bay. At the end of your trip, the deckhand will clean and bag your fish. He works for tips, so please bring some cash with you. While he is cleaning your fish you are welcome to walk up to Tacky Jack's restaurant and relax or sit outside on the swings beside the docks.

Please contact us if you want to book this crew for tournaments and rodeos.

Stressed Out Charters will do anything they can to make your day enjoyable. You just need to pick a date and show up on time.

All trips start from the time you leave the dock until the time you get back and your captain cleans your fish.

Fantastic Trip
4 Hr Intro to saltwater - Nearshore on October 16, 2026 • 2 adults

This was our second trip with Stressed Out Charters. Last year's trip was excellent and this one was every bit as good. Captain Jamie and Candace got us on a very large school of cobia mixed in the snapper we were targeting. Caught several 40-50 lbs and kept two in compliance with limits. Captain Scott worked closely with us to ensure we got got the trip we wanted and did a great job communicating even through their recent hurricane. We will DEFINITELY book with Stressed Out Charters in the future.

April fishing trip
3 Hour Intro to saltwater - 11:00 AM on April 7, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

We had a phenomenal experience with Captain Scott! He is incredibly personable and truly enjoys working with kids, making sure everyone has a chance to get on the fish. Even though we were up against tough conditions that day, he remained resourceful, positive, and determined and still made it a successful outing. I genuinely appreciated his sense of humor and how great he was with my kids and my wife. He made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. I can’t wait to book another charter with him and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again for an awesome experience!

Very kid friendly.
3 Hr Intro to saltwater - Nearshore on June 9, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

We were looking for someone to take us and our 8 year old on his first ocean fishing trip. We had a great experience with Jordan. He was very welcoming. We caught just shy of 24, not including the ones we didn’t keep. He cleaned the fish afterwards and taught us things we didn’t know. I would recommend him to anyone and hope we get to come back soon!

Wonderful trip!! I went with my son and his girlfriend. 4-hour snapper trip. Caught our limit! Captain Jordan really knows where to find snapper! And something happened to the trolling motor and we had to come back an hour early and they took some off our total which was very much appreciated! You wont go wrong with Stressed Out Charters!!!
