My wife and I took our 8 year old daughter on her first fishing trip. Mitch is great with kids and even in the heat of mid July, we kept trout, flounder, and a slot red. We also caught a myriad of non target species and saw a bunch of sea turtles and a tarpon. Really great time! Thanks Mitch!

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)

Captain mitch made us feel very comfortable and allowed us to fish the way that made us comfortable. He knew where the fish are and knew what they wanted to eat. When the spot got a little cold for 5 minutes he was ready to show us the next spot. We booked a half day charter and he blocked of the afternoon and allowed us to fish as long as we was willing. We cought a lot and many different species and limited out of speckled sea trout with one being 21inches. Thank you Captain Mitch and I will... More

Fishing wasn’t wide open that day. But captain done his best to put us on some good spots. Managed to catch some good reds and trout. Whatever you needed and wanted he made sure of.

My dad and I went on a trip of a lifetime with Captain Mitch! Sea Trout, Redfish and lots of good fellowship with Captain Mitch on a beautiful morning in Saint Joseph Bay. Captain Mitch makes the adventure fun and historical. We learned some great history of the area from him as we waited for the ‘big un’s’ to tug on our fishing poles….and boy, did they! Captain Mitch will put you on top of the fish 🐟. We can’t wait to come back to the best fishing charter in Port St. Joe!
