I've been fishing all my life in the Florida Panhandle area. I've been taking friends and their families out fishing for years. I am passionate about the sport and love to teach people both young and old new things. For me, there is nothing that is quite like someone's excitement when they catch a fish. It's all about having a great time on the water, and catching fish.

    Wonderful day fishing!!!

    4 Hour Trip — Captain's Pick2 adults

    Capt. Fred was awesome!! He’s very knowledgeable of whats biting and where they’re at. The wife and I had a great time, from catching bait fish at the beginning to the experience of catching Amberjack at the end. I thought my hook got caught on a boat that passed by. Those fish are so powerful. They weren’t in season yet, so we caught and released. The boat was very comfortable and clean, he really has a nice set up. We will be calling this Captain again the next time that we are in town.

    Great Captain

    6 Hour Trip — Reel Adventure Combo5 adults

    Bad day to go fishing, definitely no ones fault but the weather. We had a heads us that it was going to be choppy. But decided to give it a try anyways. We booked a 6 hour trip, but after 2 and a half hours, we have had enough. Two people in the party was sick. Captain Fred is one hell of a captain though. He got us back and discounted our trip, which he did not have too. It was our choice to give it a try, after everyone else canceled their trip for the day, because of the rough water. I highly recommend him. Thank you and I hope one day we can do it again, of course when the ocean is calmer.

    Thanks I wish the weather was better. Hope we can do it next time your down.

    Awesome day of fishing

    4 Hour Trip — Captain's Pick1 adult

    Capt. Fred put us on the fish in no time. Knowing I wanted some variety and a chance to target new species and big fish, we headed out for Amberjack. Didn’t take long and we were into AJ’s. A perfect day of fishing! Fred didn’t just fill the fish and call it a day. He listened to my preferencses and worked hard to tailor the experience to my expectations. I highly recommend Capt. Fred and We’re On Charters.

    Reported catch:
    Amberjack

    Great trip!

    4 Hour Trip — Summer4 adults

    We had an absolutely great fishing trip with Fred Totter’s! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Fred was knowledgeable, professional, and just a great guy to spend the day on the water with. He worked hard to put us on the fish, and we had an awesome time. Great fishing, great company, and plenty of memories made. I would highly recommend Fred Totter’s to anyone looking for a first-class fishing trip. We will definitely be back! 🎣 5 stars all the way!

    Amazing trip.

    4 Hour Trip — Captain's Pick4 adults

    Our family had an amazing trip. We caught a pile of Mackerel in the first hour then went out in the Gulf to catch some Vermillion Snapper. We finished off the trip with a few more Mackerel to take home. Fred is a great captain. He let us get real hands on. We learned how to cast for the different types of fishing we did and how to take fish off the hook. Highly recommended. Will book again on the future.

    Reported catch:
    Amberjack
