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!

Captain Fred put us on the fish. My boys had fun starting in the bay catching the bait. We went to the first spot and caught some Amberjack within the first few minutes. He made sure everyone on the boat was engaged and targeted species we would all enjoy catching. Finished the trip hooking a large Bull Shark. It was a great day on the water!

What a great day with you and your family. Your boys are awesome. Way to go on the shark and everyone did great with the Amberjacks. Hope to see you next time you’re down.

Captain Fred was very personable and taught us as we went along. His boat is new and reliable, and he explains even the instrumentation as you go along.

I hate to admit it, but I usually don’t take the time to write reviews. However, Captain Fred was amazing. He was so patient with my son and gave him a great experience. We caught Amber Jack, Spanish mackerel, and a couple a couple other smaller fish. This experience was a highlight of our whole vacation.

My boyfriend & I went out on a 4 hour trip and loved it! Our family not so much (very sea sick the whole time lol). We did have to have some patience at first, we weren’t catching much but we finally found a sweet spot & starting ripping lips!! Our captain taught us how to fish & reel adequately since we are beginners and was very patient with us making plenty of mistakes. We recommend this charter & captain 100%!! We had a blast 🐠🐠

-We did a “Captains Choice” tour. -Everything was laid back. -Chill out and let the captain do what he does best, find fish. -Today the waves were minimal out on the Gulf, minimal clouds, fish were cooperative. Awesome day!
