    Captain Trotter was very knowledgeable.

    Full Day Trip • 5 adults • 1 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 • 4 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 • 4 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 • 4 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.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Red Snapper
    Red Grouper
    Gray Triggerfish

    Captain Travis made sure we had a fantastic trip. He was patient with the kids and put us on big fish which was the request and then even took time out of his own time to take us to fish for some eater fish. This trip was definitely worth the money and more!

    Our captain was a great communicator. Which helped us discuss what we wanted from the trip and gave us reasonable expectations of the day, and instructions throughout the day. He was patient with the kids on the boat, and really WANTED us to catch some fish. He was committed to our trip being successful and everyone having a good time. It was a great time!

Attention shifts inshore come November, but that doesn't mean there's a shortage of action. Look for Redfish on a late fall day, but don't forget about Sheepshead, Flounder, and Pompano that are calling your name.
