Coastal Chaos Fishing Charters offers half and full day fishing experiences out of Clearwater, FL, targeting the rich variety of species which call the area home over the course of the year. Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Snapper, Cobia, King Mackerel and more are all on the cards for your trip, depending on where and when you choose to fish.
Clearwater tells you all you need to know from its name. Situated just round from the famous Tampa Bay, it is an incredible fishing location in its own right. Sandy shallows ideal for sight fishing give way to vibrant reefs and old wrecks which are the perfect home for big, tasty fish, and Captain Jake will take you to the best of both!
Spend the day aboard Capt. Jake's Skeeter center console. Weighing in at 24', and with plenty of room for 5 guests, this nimble and reliable vessel is perfect for exploring the area's winding backwaters and shallow flats, and with a top speed of 55 knots, she will also get you out to the deeper waters offshore in no time.
The boat is stocked with everything you will need for your trip, from high-quality electronics to top-of-the-line fishing tackle, as well as a silent trolling motor for stealthily stalking the shallows without spooking all the fish. You will also have the choice of realistic lures and livewell full of bursting with fresh live bait, to make sure nothing can resist your hooks.
To make the very most of the diverse range of fish found around Clearwater, Coastal Chaos Fishing Charters will provide you with several options on how to pass your day, depending on your preferred habitat or target species. Spin for Snook and Redfish in the shallows, troll for fast-moving Kingfish out to sea, or hit the reefs in search of bottom fishing favorites like Hogfish. There are as many options as there are species!
All Coastal Chaos Fishing Charters trips come with tackle, bait, and licenses for everyone on board. So grab your camera and your cooler and get ready to make some memories!

We planned an early February trip to get some sun and sneak in some fishing. Mother nature had other plans. It was freezing, Lizards falling from the trees cold. Tyler at our request rescheduled our early morning trip to make the most of the midday sun. Talking with some other anglers at our hotel who were hopping for the fun we had planned, we were told other captains came up empty for their trips. Our charter captain Tyler was honest and straight forward. He said not a lot was biting but if we were game, he would find us some action. And find some action he did. Not the normal places we expected to fish but we were throwing the small ones back an hour in. We caught more than our share of fish throwing a ton back. We finished our day a restaurant Tyler recommended with some awesome fresh eats. Two thumbs up.
Captian Jake was great, made sure everyone on board caught fish and enjoyed the trip. Captain Jake filleted our fish ready to grill. This was our second year with Captain Jake! Will be back next year!! My 7 year old grandson had the best time. Coastal Chaos is the best experience fir all members of the family.
My wife and four boys went on his inshore charter and had the best time!
Jake was prepared for our day fishing better then any other company I’ve ever used. Put us on the fish early and often. Would highly recommend him. Snook, Trout, Grouper and Cobia. Great trip for everyone.
On fish immediately and the whole 2 hr. trip. My family are not very seasoned fishers, 51, 49, 14 and 17. Jake was so good working with everyone and always ready to help with bait, tangles, and release. Shouldn’t go unnoticed is the awesome tune selection setting a great and laid-back vibe. We’ll be back and strongly recommend Capt. Jake.

Your captain
Captain Jake Derado is a Full-time guide, and a 3rd generation fisherman who comes from a 'fishy' bloodline! He's a U.S. Coast Guard certified Captain with plenty of experience in the Clearwater/Tampa Bay area. He knows the history of the area and is happy to share many stories with you along the way! Jake has been fishing the local waters since he was old enough to walk and had multiple family members who shared their passion of fishing and guided him along the way. As a kid Jake used to ride his bike over 20 miles a day hunting down the best fishing spots, until he was old enough to drive, but it didn't stop there! He purchased his first boat at the age of 16 and made extra money by selling bait to the local bait shops to pay for fishing trips with friends. After graduating high school and for the next 4 years, he found himself working on multiple fishing boats as a reputable first mate. Once the prerequisites were met, he went to 'Sea school' to earn his Merchant Mariner Credentials (Captains License). Immediately following, Jake was offered a position with Coastal Chaos. Needless to say, he fit right in! For about 2 years he ran trips and built a stellar reputation and clientele for himself along with countless great reviews. He is living his long term dream as he is now the Owner/CEO of Coastal Chaos. All in all, Jake is a very fun, enthusiastic and serious Captain who FLAT OUT LOVES TO FISH!
