With over 20 years of experience, Capt. Mitch has an impressive wealth of knowledge and a glowing reputation. He'll always do his best to ensure you have a productive and successful day on the water!

Open water trolling. Depending on the time of year we will use dipsy divers and/or planar boards with worm harnesses, spoons or crankbaits.
