Coastal Chaos Fishing Charters is operated by the dynamic guiding team of Captain Cameron Fisher and Captain Jake Derado. As multi-generational fishermen born and raised along the Pinellas County coastline, both captains bring local knowledge and years of hands-on experience to the water. Guests start their adventure aboard a reliable 24-foot customized bay boat built to handle everything from shallow grassy flats to choppy coastal inlets. Fully U.S. Coast Guard certified, the vessel features advanced GPS navigation systems, a sensitive fishfinder, a dual live bait well, a wireless trolling motor, and top-tier rods and reels. The boat’s stable design ensures a smooth, dry ride for up to five passengers.
Specializing in light-tackle inshore, backcountry, and nearshore reef excursions, the charter offers a flexible lineup of trips ranging from quick two-hour evening runs to comprehensive four hour half-days and six hour extended trips. Depending on the season and where the bite is hottest, anglers regularly target prized local game fish like snook, redfish, spotted seatrout, and black drum in the shallow flats. Venturing up to nine miles offshore into the open Gulf opens up opportunities to reel in hard-fighting mangrove snapper, gag grouper, cobia, and Spanish mackerel. For families or targeted trophy hunters, the captains adapt their techniques to ensure action-packed rods are bending all day long.
Operating as a completely private, all-inclusive experience, Coastal Chaos Fishing Charters coordinates convenient departures directly from the primary docks and boat ramps in the Clearwater Beach area, including the central Seminole Boat Ramp. Every booking covers all essential fishing logistics, including state-issued commercial fishing licenses for everyone on board, premium tackle, custom lures, and fresh live bait caught by the captains before dawn. The charter is exceptionally family-friendly and offers special discounts for students, seniors, and military members. At the conclusion of each trip, the captain provides professional, complimentary fish cleaning, filleting, and bagging at the docks so your fresh catch is ready to take to a local "cook your catch" restaurant.
