Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)

First cast we got a bite. Second cast…17” trout in the boat. We caught numerous fish and maxed out on trout and with the biggest being 24 inches! Captain Mitch was quick at getting the fish off the line, picking out the right bait, and repairing lines; he definitely maximized the amount of time with lines in the sea. It was a nice surprise that he cleaned the fish for us too.

We had a wonderful time today! Mitch was a great captain and fisherman expert. He gave us a lot of history on the area as he was born and raised in Port St. Joe. He was very helpful and patient with the bait and our catches. He was knowledgeable about the marine life that we saw and caught. 10/10 experience, would definitely recommend.
