To sum our experience up, WOW! We had the opportunity to go out with Mitch and this guy puts his ALL into it. He has probably heard the same questions over and over, yet answered patiently. Was quick to respond and what started out as a slow morning ended fantastically! We can hardly wait to go again. Great guys, Chad and Mitch. Great fishing charter. Highly recommend.

Captain Mitch was the type of guy we like to fish with. Could definitely tell he was a fishing nut and really cared to get everyone a fish. The boat was clean and had a large area to reel in all the fish, we all felt super comfortable. The weather was perfect and the fish were biting. Nothing to complain about from us. Cannot wait to come back next year!

Had Mitch as our captain for a morning charter, and I'm not sure anyone else could've been better. He's not only knowledgeable and professional enough to let us walk away with a good amount of fish, but he's also laid back and entertaining enough to make the whole morning a memorable one.

Mitch was our captain and all I can say is wow! We were all incredibly impressed. He is an amazing fisherman who went above and beyond and pulled every trick out of his sleeve to make sure we were catching fish. He was incredibly accommodating and just very fun as the captain but took his job very seriously. Would highly recommend to avid fishers or just a family looking to have a fun vacation. Keep it up and thanks for the fun time
