Bait House Charters
Bait House Charters is a fishing charter based in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Join Captain Brad and travel up to 100 miles out to explore one of the best bottom fishing locations around. He will make sure to provide you with a tailored experience, regardless of whether you are a veteran angler or just getting your feet wet. If you prefer fly fishing, Captain Brad will be able to accommodate your needs.
How far you go out will vary depending on what you want to catch and how long you want to stay. Some of the fish species you can expect to encounter are Groupers, Snappers, Amberjack, Kingfish, as well as other pelagic species. Captain Brad also specializes in catching Hogfish, one of the most delicious fish out there. There is also a shark fishing package for any who would like to try their hand at hunting for Hammerheads, Bull Sharks, and others.
His boat is a 33’ Dusky center console boat. It is powered by twin 300 HP Suzuki engines and can develop a speed of up to 38 knots. The boat is equipped with all the necessary USCG equipment and navigational equipment such as GPS and a fishfinder device. It also has two large coolers to store caught fish as well as any drinks you might decide to bring. This is a very versatile boat that can handle any sort of offshore trip, as well as get you to the action quickly.
Captain Brad will provide you with all the necessary gear and bait, and the first mate will clean and fillet any catch caught once you’re back onshore. Gratuity for the first mate of around 15-20% is expected and appreciated. Make sure to bring polarised sunglasses as well as any drinks or snacks if you like.

Captain Brad & Andrew Exceeded our Expectations
3/4 Day Trip on May 23, 2025
We booked our trip one week in advance with not knowing what to expect. I had mentioned to Brad we would like to catch some fish we can eat and some good fighting fish, and he nailed it. Our trip went extremely smooth and First Mate Andrew was a pleasure to chat with. Both Brad and Andrew were very respectful and personable; even calling us by name each time. It shows how much they care when they take time to remember your name even when they are dealing with over 50 customers a week. We managed to catch a lot of drum, hog fish, and a variety of different grouper. Would highly recommend Baithouse Charters!

He put us on the fish. If fish wasn’t hitting in a spot he moved us and put us in the fish. I recommend Bait House Charters is you wasn’t to have a professional Captain of 17 years experience to give you a fantastic day of fishing! Captain Brad and crew were great!

I booked this as a Christmas gift for my son, hubby and dad, and Captain Brad did not disappoint! From the first cast we were catching fish! He knew what we wanted to catch, and went to all the right spots to make it happen. Thanks again and we will be back!!
