I believe it's not only about the fish you hook up on, or the great photos and memories of fish caught, but getting to enjoy life on the water as we Floridians proudly call it. Welcome to my backyard! I have fished all my life, and passionate about seeing people catch fish, even more than I love to. Creating lasting memories and a day out on the water catching fish is my goal.

    What a great trip!

    6 hr Inshore Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Steve gave us a fantastic fishing experience! He taught us a lot about fishing for sea trout, snook, and redfish. And he was fun! He didn’t yell or cuss at us if we lost a fish, which I have experienced before. He also cleaned our fish when we got back to the docks. We had an incredible six hour adventure! Can’t wait to call Captain Steve again!!

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Speckled Trout
    Response from Captain

    Thank you very much Jodi for the review and the charter with you and your son! It was a beautiful day to spend out in the Florida waters and catch some fish, and glad we were able to catch a fish larger than him! LOL. The grouper was pretty great too, and look forward to taking you all out again someday if you are back in the area. Thank you, Captain Stephen Bailey

What's biting with Bailey's Charters in Clearwater

Fall fishing in Clearwater is top-notch, and both quantity and quality of King Mackerel attract anglers from far and wide. A little known fact is that there is still some good Tarpon fishing to be done along Clearwater Beach at this time of year.
