Captain Mitch was prompt and responsive with getting the trip lined up. Fishing trip started with handshakes and introductions with explanation of the day on the water. The Four of us and captain set out for the day Mitch is very family friendly and knowledgeable of the Bayou. After a short boat ride we were into fish and landing Reds. Know mind you we are a fishing group looking to add catching different types of fish to our resume and Mitch was on I. Fishing was tough with a cold front pushing into the area and out of the 3 guides running clients we were the only ones landing fish. Now with all the knowledge, stories and smiles we achieved the Louisiana Slam of 4 different fish landed Reds, Sheepshead, Flounder and Drum. We landed lots of fish and normally only do catch and release but kept a few for table fare. We highly recommend Bayou Paradise Fishing Charters and Capt. Mitch for your next fishing adventure. Thanks Mitch for the opportunity #Oregoncrew

Captain Mitch was the best. We had an unbelievable time. He was super communicative leading up to it. As for the day of, we had the best time. It was me and my two teenagers, and he was so informative and entertaining at the same time. My daughter was a beginner and he was really patient with her. He balanced our time between easier to catch fish and looking for the harder to catch fish. Captain Mitch just seemed really intent on making sure we had a great time. It’s clear he loves his job and seeing people enjoy fishing. And God bless him he filleted the 40+ fish we caught (we caught much more but stopped keeping em). Would def recommend going with him it’ll always be a good time!!

Capt Mitch was wonderful and had us on a variety of fish. The tide wasn’t the best, and while some of the other charter Captains were having trouble finding fish, Captain Mitch knew right where to go. In no time, we had Speckled Trout, Redfish, Drums, Sheepshead and Flounder in the boat. Capt Mitch shared a lot of information about the area, the ecosystem, and was a wealth of knowledge. He was also personable and funny, which made the trip even better! While cleaning the fish after our trip. He even gave us some advice on good recipes for what we’d caught. We would 100% recommend using Capt Mitch for your fishing adventures!

I hope that this review does justice to how much fun that we had one this fishing trip.  The communication leading up to the trip was great, Captain Mitch answered all my questions and was very helpful with providing information. 

We were watching the weather very closely, and Mother Nature did not cooperate on this day.  The forecast called for thunderstorms and strong winds.  Captain Mitch advised that we could cancel the trip due to the terrible weather conditions.  My GF and I were excited to fish and asked if we could go anyway and he said that we could still go, just don’t expect great results due to the weather.  We understood the risk but still wanted to go.

Despite the awful conditions, Captain Mitch pulled some rabbits out of his hat.  Despite never redfishing before, he taught us how to catch redfish, and showed tremendous patience with my girlfriend and I.  He was a great guy, that had great stories and made the trip fun.

The end result was a fantastic day fishing.  We had fish on throughout the trip and found some keepers for the table.  Other Captains couldn’t believe that he didn’t cancel the trip and told him that there was no way that he was going to catch anything.  Needless to say, Captain Mitch’s skills were too much for Mother Nature that day.  We are beyond grateful that he didn’t cancel the trip and was relentless in finding us fish. 

If you are looking for a reason to book this charter, this reviee should be it.  Great boat and fishing equipment, friendly and easy going Captain that produced in horrible conditions.  Thanks Captain Mitch for making our fishing trip a memorable one.

Capt. Mitch communicated a few days prior to our excursion with a plan for departure. Weather was chilly and fish were not biting but he was determined to not leave with clean ice so we moved to several different locations with success! With minimal experience, he was patient and explained (mote than a few times) tips and tricks! We had a great time talking and learning about his background as well as ours!  Would highly recommend for anyone coming to the NOLA area! The fish were cleaned and filets were bagged on ice as our hotel chef prepared a fabualous dinner for us!
