Captain Jake 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!

We had Captain Brett for our day of fishing. What an amazing day we had. We caught multiple fish we could keep and multiple fish we couldn’t keep. We had the experience of seeing multiple species that we didn’t catch. We saw a bull shark, a Goliath Grouper, a loggerhead turtle, and a manatee. We hooked in to a giant.

Watching Brett and my brother work together to get this fish in was spectacular. The team work that it took as well as the skill. He was also great for those of us that were less experienced. He was so pleasant and kind while helping me change my techniques so I caught fish verses continuously just feeding the fish. He did great with my teenage son. Brett is a great communicator. We will go with Brett again.

Captain Cameron was great. He got us on some fish right away and kept working hard when the bite slowed down. Will definitely go with Captain Cameron again if we get down that way.
