Mitch was a wonderful guide and was determined to get us in a spot to catch fish. Unfortunately, everything we caught was either too big or too small to keep but we still had a great day.

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.

Captain Mitch did a great job. Fishing was tough due to conditions but he still put us on fish. My son landed a 29” Red Fish. Fantastic trip.
