Meet Captain Frank Taylor Jr, the dedicated owner and licensed Captain behind the helm of Rocky Creek Charters. With a full-time commitment to providing exceptional fishing experiences, Captain Frank is a professional and knowledgeable guide who goes above and beyond to ensure his guests find themselves in the sweetest spots on every unforgettable adventure.


Captain Frank's lifelong love affair with fishing took root nearly 25 years ago when he visited his father in Steinhatchee. Reflecting on those early experiences, he shares, "He took me out on the Gulf fishing, and I was blown away by how nice it was, the pristine waters, and the amount of fish we caught. Ever since then, I've been addicted to fishing over here in the Gulf of Mexico." After years of sharing these experiences with friends and family, Captain Frank decided to turn his passion into a profession, opening his own charter business – a decision he considers one of the greatest he's ever made. His genuine enthusiasm for the sport shines through as he notes, "I think I have more fun than most of my guests. I love watching kids and new anglers reel in that fish for the first time. Man, it's exciting."


Capt. Frank possesses the years of experience needed to expertly guide you to the best fishing spots or the finest scalloping locations in the area. With a swift 10–20 minute journey to the action, you'll have ample time to cast your line and create lasting memories under Captain Frank's expert guidance. Specializing in light tackle, popping, and drift fishing techniques, Captain Frank tailors each charter to create an engaging and diverse experience for anglers of all ages and skill levels. His genuine love for fishing is evident in his commitment to sharing memorable experiences and passing on the nuances of these waters to every guest.
