Come and spend a day on the water with Off The Clock Fishing Charters! Captain Travis Trotter has been fishing in the area his whole life and he'll make sure you have an unforgettable day on the water. Bring your family along and don't hesitate to start your adventure even if some of you never held a rod in their hands before! Capt. Travis is a very patient teacher as well and, with him by your side, you're surely going to reel in your first fish.

A group of 4 guests can be accommodated on the captain's 26' Mako. The boat has a live bait tank, a portable toilet, a cooler, and multimedia system. Listen to your favorite music while waiting for the fish to bite and don't worry about getting sunburnt, as the vessel also has a T-top.

There are many native species you'll be able to catch: you can go bottom fishing for Red Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and Triggerfish; troll for King Mackerel, and Mahi Mahi; or go on a Shark trip for Hammerhead, Blacktip, or Tiger Shark. The possibilities of what you might find are endless! It can take anywhere between 10 and 45 minutes to reach the first fishing spot but you'll stay within 9-miles of the Coast.

The captain uses an array of gear and it is all top of the line equipment.

Off The Clock Fishing Charters runs their trips year round. There is no minimum age policy for the kids on the boat, so this can easily be unforgettable family bonding time. Use this amazing opportunity and book a trip with Capt. Travis while there are still available dates.

Captain Trotter was very knowledgeable.
Full Day Trip on July 4, 20254 adults1 child

This 8 hr trip was the best that we have ever been on. We caught several fish and lost several big ones. We had sharks take some on the way to the boat , even had a dolphin take one. He definitely put us on the fish. He never looked at the clock to see what time it was to get us back at the set time. We fished two hrs over our allotted time on the 4th of July. He was like going fishing with a buddies dad. I loved watching him stay on our teenagers ass about listening. All they had to do was listen and pay attention when he was teaching and talking . So him being stern with the young ones didn’t bother me at all , I throughly enjoyed it myself 😂. I would definitely book with captain Trotter again.

Great Time
Half Day Trip on June 13, 20254 adults

He should change the name of the charter to " My friend with a boat will take us Fishing " Capt Travis is one of the best fishermen i been with, and I fish all over the world from Alaska, Hawaii, South Africa, and the United States and his customer service is off the Hook. He went far beyond the call of duty to put us on the fish. It was a pleasure Fishing with someone who enjoys fishing as much as you. I can't wait to get back to Pensacola for another trip. We caught over 10 Types of fish. It was mind blowing for my Cuz for his first time deep sea fishing!!!

6 hour trip
3/4 Day Trip on August 8, 20254 adults

We was set for a day trip but we got a call and the captain suggested going out the night before. He said with the full moon we would have a better chance of catching fish. Man was he right we couldn’t keep up with the amount of fish we were getting. We was pulling in the red snapper almost every time but we did not get to keep but still better than not catching anything. We cough over 40 keepers that was a a great experience. The captain was so good with us and he had patience that was great also.

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Vermilion Snapper

Fishing with Travis
Full Day Trip on July 25, 20244 adults

Highly recommend captain Travis ! If you wanna fish and you chose captain Travis, you’re gonna fish till you can’t fish no more. He will put you on some fish with out a doubt. We had a great time, made alot of memories. We absolutely had a blast ! Great atmosphere and a lot of laughs. The red snapper and bottom fishing was slow but not because of captain Travis. No one on the cb radio from other charters was really catching any thing but captain Travis worked his tail off putting us on a few, not only that we slayed the mahi ! Captain Travis had a great attitude and enjoyable to go fishing with and worked his butt off, highly recommend 10 out of 10.
