Captain
Mitchel Haydel

Member since January 2024 New Orleans, United States
Background
Capt. Mitchel runs trips out of Franks Marina in Barataria, LA aboard a 24ft Bay boat. These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Black Drum, Flounder, and Redfish and he will show you how to catch them, whether you prefer light tackle or popping. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
