We had a great experience with Captain Mitch! We caught big fish all morning. We will use him again next time we are in St. Joe.

Half Day Trip -Bay Fishing (AM)

Mitch is a local that knows the water and wants you to enjoy your time in the Bay. He communicated to us the details and will even meet on the Cape if you are staying there. He is a great angler for those that want to get out and get fishing on the Bay with no hassle. I wanted to get my two girls on the water and we caught fish and enjoyed our time. We recommend Mitch and his expertise with fishing this area.

10 minutes into the trip we were reeling in a monster red fish. Mitch knows the waters like the back of his hand and will put you right onto the fish. All in all we caught a lot of fish and have a haul to cook up for the rest of our trip. Mitch is a great guy with a ton of knowledge on the area and is a blast to fish with! I highly recommend heading out with Captain Mitch, you’ll catch a lot of fish and have a great time doing it.
