There’s not a better way to enjoy your time in Florida than being on the water. This way of living is in the heart of Bailey’s Charters and Captain Stephen. Whether you’re here to catch some fish, find a new waterfront restaurant, or simply relax with your loved ones, you’ll find all of that here. With a year round fishing season, any time is a good time for fishing.

Capt. Stephen welcomes you aboard his 25’ Sea Born boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. Powered by a 300 HP Mercury Verado engine, this center console will take you where the fish are with speed and ease. She’s always ready for catching fish, as she’s equipped with a live bait tank, a cooler, a wireless trolling motor, and navigational electronics. 

Most of the fishing will be just off the beaches, mangrove shorelines, nearshore ledges and reefs,  and out to 25 miles to offshore wrecks and live bottom/reefs where we will be fishing in 75' of water.  You’ll use high quality Daiwa Saltist and Shimano  spin reels, spooled with the industry's best braid and topped off with 100% fluorocarbon leader. Free lining live bait, bottom fishing, float rigs with shrimp, and jigging are the most reliable way to get hooked up on out local fish.

Your fishing equipment and licenses are included in the price. As an extra treat, the captain cleans and fillets your catch after the trip, free of charge. Ask him to recommend a great dockside restaurant and head there for a feast! You only need to bring food, drinks, and sunscreen for your trip.

Get in touch with Bailey's Charters for an amazing day out on Florida’s South West Coast!

Your crew doesn't want to fish? NO PROBLEM, we have some of the most beautiful boarder islands around the Tampa Clearwater Beach area where you and your group can explore shelling, chilling, walks in the sand along nature and the beautiful Gulf of America. I set up beach chairs, towels and umbrellas for your group, as well as provide ice for all your beverages and food on the boat.

On a 4 hr inshore trip, we will target Redfish, Snook, and Speckled Sea Trout, as our main inshore species. Fishing will be done in fairly shallow water of just a few feet, along islands that dot the Intercostal Waterway, mangrove shorelines, coves, grass flats or the Gulf side beaches. This trip is a good trip for those just wanting to get to experience fishing, or might not have the time/budget to do the 6 hr which will allow more time to focus on different spots, species, and techniques.

4 hr Inshore Trip

On a 6 hr inshore trip, we will target Redfish, Snook, and Speckled Sea Trout as our main inshore species. Fishing will be done in fairly shallow water of just a few feet, along islands that dot the Intercostal Waterway, mangrove shorelines, coves, grass flats or the Gulf side beaches. This trip is a great trip for those more serious about fishing and catching fish, especially a variety of species, locations and techniques. It allows more time to hit different parts of the tide as well.

6 hr Inshore Trip

On the 6hr. Nearshore trip we will focus on fishing our wrecks, reefs, and ledges off the beautiful beaches of Clearwater area, and out to 25 miles (weather and seas permitting). Depending on the time of year, we will be catching King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, Mangrove Snapper, Groupers, Hogfish, and Triple Tail. This is mostly bottom fishing with medium to heavy gear. If you are wanting something a big stronger and bigger to pull on your line, this trip would be a good start.

6 Hr. Nearshore Fishing

On the 8hr. Nearshore trip we will focus on fishing our wrecks, reefs, and ledges off the beautiful beaches of Clearwater area, and out to 25 miles (weather and seas permitting). Depending on the time of year, we will be catching King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, Mangrove Snapper, Groupers, Hogfish, and Triple Tail.
