Captain Steve Benell
Welcomes you to Scales 'N' Tails Charters. The Gulf Coast - Tampa Bay waters offer some of the finest inshore fishing in the world. Whether you're out for a relaxing day of recreational fishing in the scenic backcountry or have a specific fish you want to catch, Capt. Steve has the experience, knowledge and desire to make your day one you'll remember!

 

Fishing charters are available for Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, Trout, Mackerel, Kingfish, Shark and others. I’ll take you to fertile fishing spots in Clearwater, St Petersburg, Tampa or anywhere in the surrounding Tampa Bay area for a day of fun, adventure and a chance for the catch of a lifetime.

 

The type of tackle used on all of our fishing charters is termed “light tackle.” This type of fishing provides lots of excitement, fun and enjoyment for both beginners and seasoned fishermen. Fly Fishing and all Artificial lure fishing charters are available by request.
