Fred Trotter

Member since March 2020 Panama City Beach, United States
Background
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.
Techniques
From bottom fishing to trolling, keep moving until you find them and then it’s game on. Trolling, drifting or anchored, whatever is necessary to achieve the result of We’re On!
