I surprised my husband with this fishing trip, and Mitch made sure we had a great time! We were hounded by bad weather in the morning, but Mitch went above and beyond making sure we were comfy, and when we were able to safely go out on the water we met our limit on drum. He gave us clear instructions on catching the fish making it easy for us to learn, and made the entire experience so much fun; you can tell he has fun and was excited for our catches. His fishing knowledge and experience were top notch! Basically all the hard parts of fishing were erased, and we only had to show up and do the fun part. We had a great trip; highly recommend if you’re looking to book a trip.

I surprised my husband with a fishing trip through Bayou Paradise Fishing Charters for his 40th birthday, and it turned out to be the best surprise ever! From start to finish, the experience exceeded all of our expectations.

Captain Mitch is absolutely amazing! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and knows exactly where to find the fish. His passion for fishing and making sure everyone has a great time really shows.

We had an incredible day on the water, catching plenty of drum, lots of redfish, and even a sheepshead! One of the highlights of the trip was landing a beautiful 10-pound redfish—it was such an exciting catch! And after waiting for my moment, I finally got to yell, “Fish on!” It was an unforgettable experience that I’ll always remember.

Whether you’re an experienced angler or it’s your first time fishing, Captain Mitch makes the trip fun, exciting, and successful. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate my husband’s milestone birthday.

We highly recommend Bayou Paradise Fishing Charters and Captain Mitch to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure. We can’t wait to come back and fish with him again!

Captain Mitch isnthe best we’ve ever had the pleasure of fishing with. Been on charters all over the Gulf states. Hands down our favorite trip ever. My son asked ifbwencan fish with Captain Mitch when he turns 21. We have 2 years, I’d book Mitch that far in advance. he is that good. Can’t express how fantastic Bayou Paradise is. My wife and son had such an amazing time. Not to mention we yanked down our limit!!  Love Bayou Paradise!!!

My brother and I fished three days straight with Captain Mitch Haydel on Bayou Paradise.  This review will serve for all three days.

We can’t say enough good about Mitch. He was so helpful, responsive to our questions and concerned that we caught enough fish that we had to calm him down and assure him that we were catching plenty of fish and having a great time. :)

I (Bruce Dale) had so much fun that I hope to go back with my wife as soon as we can manage it. :) 

A couple of tips: First, swallow your dang pride and let Mitch do the casting for you. He can put that bait right where it needs to be 99 times out of a 100. And you will throw it in the wrong spot 99 times out of a 100.  Second, talk to Mitch. He loves to talk. Happy Captain Mitch equals happy trip.
