Background: I am Mitchell Fortner, born in 1963 just a rock throw from St Joe Bay. A 5th Generation of Gulf County. I grew up in Port St Joe hunting and fishing the bays, lakes, and rivers of this area. Fishing and hunting are what I do. I have a lifetime of experience and would enjoy helping you catch some fish.
Techniques: Light tackle, live and lure baits will be used, tackle, rods and Licenses included. Don’t forget to bring your polarized sunglasses.

I’ve done a lot of fishing over the years, not every day does it include CATCHing! CAPT. Mitch put us on the fish! Equipment was solid, bait was great, we had 75% of our limit in an hour.
