Captain
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!

We went out promptly at 7 with captain Fred and had a great experience all the way around. We had our trip rescheduled due to a storm on our original day, but captain Fred went out of his way to get us out on the water. Captain Fred found spots all day long and we were catching fish after fish. For my first time out in the gulf, the experience with captain Fred makes me want to come back to Panama City Beach again just to go fishing with him! We’ll be back for sure - and you should absolutely... More

My family of four went out with Capt Fred and had a great time. The weather was not on our side for our trip, but he went above and beyond to accommodate us and make us comfortable. We managed to catch a couple fish despite the less than desirable conditions, and I know it wasn’t a fluke based on the number of other captains reaching out to him during our trip wanting to know where the fish were biting. My husband and teenage boys loved getting to know and learn from Capt. Fred and his brother,... More

Fred was amazing! From start to finish we were reeling them in. We had a 12 year old, twenty year olds, and fifty year olds…and we all left exhausted from all the action. Fred had us on ‘em from the get go. We had an absolute blast! We caught Grouper, Red Snapper, and Amber Jack. So much fun! We would definitely book with Fred again and highly recommend him.

Captain Fred, Adjust to what my boys and I wanted out of our trip and put us on fish right away. He was knowledgeable and very helpful. If you are looking for an enjoyable trip and I would recommend booking with Captain Fred!

My two brothers and I chartered the “We’re On” fishing charter with Captain Fred and if we were not catching bait, we were catching fish. “Amberjacks On”... we had a blast. Captain is knowledgeable and friendly, had us on fish the entire trip and worked hard to get the bite. We all had the greatest trip and will be talking about how much fun we had forever. I can’t say how much this meant to have had the experience with my brothers that we had. We’re planning for this to be at least... More
