This was outstanding. We had no idea what to book for a fishing charter and I emailed 5 companies before we came and Captain Brad emailed me back within 30 minutes. He also called us ahead of time to suggest moving the trip up an hour to avoid the crowds. He was amazing on the trip!! We had 2 adults, 2 16 year olds and 2 14 year olds. One of our members is an avid fisherman and he was amazing with him! Seriously- I would not recommend booking any other company!

Had an absolute BLAST! Captain Brad and First Mate Jason are a class act! Perfect for family friendly fun yet willing to go ALL IN to snag a huge fish. We loaded up on red grouper and snapper and have great memories with our sons etched permanently on our minds. Well done!

This was my husband and my first time deep sea fishing and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Brad and Jason were incredibly knowledgeable and made great instructors! They were flexible and did everything they could to make sure we caught all kinds of fish and they succeeded! We lost track of how many we had caught after the 1st hour, grouper, red snapper, grunts, and loads of hogfish! We went on a longer 6-7 hour trip and we would highly recommend it! When we got back, the restaurant cooked up our hogfish and it was amazing, probably the best fish we've ever had. We can't possibly say enough good things about our experience and we are extremely glad that we chose Bait House Charters to introduce us deep sea fishing! It was hands-down the highlight of our trip!

Great day fishing and a cooler filled with eaters. Captain Brad & First Mate Zack we’re very kind and attentive to make sure our 3 boys aged 10,13,& 17 were consistently baited and patiently showed techniques to reel them in. Immediately after fishing we went to Crabby Bills & had them cook up our catch of the day. Lots of fun & lots of fish in our 3/4 day charter.

I fished twice with captain Brad during our week vacation at Clearwater beach. I brought my wife along the first day and she had a blast and actually held one of the fish she caught for the first time! We caught tons of reds, trout & snook! After our first trip they made blackened red fish tacos with one of the red fish we caught and they were great. I fished alone with Capt Brad the second day and caught reds as well as a cobia longer than a yardstick that was an unbelievable fight! Then came the Sharks ;) we caught black tips with the biggest being 5 feet that put on an unbelievable air show before he cut the line while twisting in the air. All in all we had the best saltwater fishing experience ever and only fished the calmer bay and mangroves which I asked to do. Captain Brad is just a good hardworking person that knows his stuff. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide!!

I took a half day trip with Captain Brad and had a blast. Captain Brad was very professional and outgoing and was able to tell us about great restaurants and bars on the beach. We caught a lot of fish and the best part was we were able to have them for lunch the moment we got off the boat at The Bait House. If you are looking to go fishing in Clearwater Beach I highly recommend Bait House Charters.

Booked this charter through a third party site. Was concerned as we have two small children (4 & 7) and this kinda of activity had us concerned due to their ages. Let me tell ya Captain Brad and his first mate Ryan were incredible... wasted no time at all getting us on the fish and then got the kids pulling fish in all morning. They were so friendly with the kids it was remarkable. Keep in mind the wife and i have not fished anywhere in 20 years and the kids have never fished... EVER.... they had them both pulling in fish in no time! We landed a couple big grouper while the kids hooked grunts, puffer fish, red grouper etc.... our four year old even managed to pull in a .... wait for it.... SHARK!!!!! What an amazing day! Totally worth it!!! Brad and Ryan were so professional and kind! They really wanted us to have a great time and they totally succeeded!!! Highest recommendation here folks!!! The Bait House even cooked our big catch and it was AMAZING... we had it made into tacos and a fillet sandwich! Do not waste time BOOK NOW you will never regret it! Thanks Brad and Ryan i tip my hat and our family says thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

So first time going with Captain Brad and Baithouse Charters and it was a split charter. Left the dock at 8am. First stop was for AJ's. They were plentiful but we did not get any big ones. But I reeled up 2 and those were my first two AJ's so off they came from my bucket list. When done with the AJ's we spent the rest of the day looking for and catching some Hog fish. I was only able to snag 2 Hog fish and both of mine were under size. BUT, they were my first Hogs, so strike another from my bucket list. The day was full of catching some keeper Red Groupers, Gag groupers (one beast was 34"), Mangos, Porgies, Sea Bass, and Grunts. Captain was great, worked hard trying to get me a keeper Hog, but it was not meant to be this trip. So we ended up being out way longer than planned, which is fine by me. I don't hate about not catching, I just enjoy being out fishing. Met some fine people, the Capt and mate, and the other 4 in the group that I joined aboard.

Capt Brad is very knowledgeable and helped me catch my first Tarpon. Also have caught offshore species that were a blast catch and very tasty. Thanks Capt Brad and Baithouse Charters, I'll be calling you again!

Booked a charter and was called by captain Brad. He recommended that we reschedule our charter as the weather could be bad and the water was not the best of conditions. Wouldn't even attempt to take my money. Said we wouldn't have a good time and didn't want us to have a bad experience. I greatly appreciate his honesty and book BAIT HOUSE CHARTERS the next time I come in to clear water beach.
