best fishing trip my kids have ever been on. several different species. rough water, boat handled it well. captain is legit. boat is perfect size. equipment was in great shape. from catching our own bait fish to paying the tax man (shark) it was an amazing day on the Gulf. look forward to next Christmas break so we can do it again. I would not waste time shopping, if captain Fred is available for your dates then book it.

We had an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Fred for my son’s 9th birthday. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. We caught tons of fish, including some big ones like red snapper, amberjack, and triggerfish! The captain was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He made us feel like family and clearly knew the waters inside and out. He took us straight to the hot spots. It was a perfect day, and we can’t recommend him highly enough. We’ll definitely be back... Meer

Captain Fred was friendly and very accommodating from very beginning. He put us on fish throughout the trip.. tried really hard to put on the kind of fish we most wanted to catch.. which we did catch some, just hard to catch within the limits to keep.. but was a lot of fun catching a lot of fish, which we did.. he definitely put on fish.. not much time for taking a break.. overall, was a very successful trip. Would recommend Captain Fred to anyone that just wants to catch a lot of fish..

Very professional and personable.  Very knowledgeable and eager to teach techniques.  Took my son and daughter. The capt ask what we wanted to catch. I told him it was up to him. Best idea I ever had.  We caught lots of Bonita and kings trolling to the structure.  Then we caught so many amberjack that we are exhausted and sore.  Double hook up multiple times.  Will be the only charter service I will ever use again in the gulf.

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... Meer
