About Your Trip

Hello, this is Captain Fred. Welcome to Panama City Beach

Most of the time we start off the day by catching live bait a lot of fun by all. It’s a great opportunity for kids and adults to catch their own bait. After catching bait, we will go look for some bottom fish, for example Grouper, Red Snapper and Amberjack. We will also go after King Mackerel Spanish Mackerel and Cobia. I supply all the rods and reels that you’ll need, all the frozen bait that we will need. We will do different kinds of fishing from Bottom fishing, jigging, flatline, and trolling. Whatever is in season is usually what we will go after. I have been guiding for seven years now and have lived here pretty much my whole life and know the fishing area very well. I have been fishing my whole life started with my dad at a young age and was hooked right away. Can’t wait to take you guys out and show you a great experience Thank you Captain Fred.

Hi I am Captain Fred I was raised here in the panhandle my whole life. I started fishing with my dad when I was a little kid and soon as I was old enough, he would never see me again because all I did was fish. Once I got a boat. I was always out there learning new ways of fishing and finding the best fishing spots.

Now I really enjoy watching people catch fish,...
