Mitch is a local that knows the water and wants you to enjoy your time in the Bay. He communicated to us the details and will even meet on the Cape if you are staying there. He is a great angler for those that want to get out and get fishing on the Bay with no hassle. I wanted to get my two girls on the water and we caught fish and enjoyed our time. We recommend Mitch and his expertise with fishing this area.
Chris I appreciate the great review! Thank you again for fishing with me.
Mitch is extremely friendly and definitely knows the area. He took us to several different locations to catch multiple different types of fish, made sure we caught our limit & even cleaned them at the end (gave some great cooking suggestions too). We had a fantastic time and will 100% use him in the future when coming back to the Cape. Definitely the best part of our trip to Port St Joe.
Thanks a bunch, enjoyed taking y’all fishing. Let me know if you don’t receive your trip pics. Appreciate the review from you.
we had a great experience. Captain Mitch was awesome! we didnt catch a LOT of fish but caught a good share and lots of species. catfish, trout, sharks (that got off the hook) and even a few blue crabs!!
Thanks for your review, I appreciate it. Enjoyed taking y’all fishing in the bay. Hope y’all enjoy today’s catch for your supper!
Captain Mitch treated us right and we had a great time out there on the water! Tripletail, Redfish and Trout all got landed on our trip. We would go again if we had more time.
Awesome trip on the water! Caught 12 or more Reds today one was 28.5” the rest were around 20” Also caught a 17” flounder. Captain was very knowledgeable of the area, He grew up fishing these spots so he will get you on them if they are biting. One of my favorite booked fishing trips, We will be back fishing with mitch again!
Thanks enjoyed fishing with ya,ll
