About Your Trip

A true Gem of the Texas coast, Baffin Bay offers incredible fishing surrounded by truly sublime nature! Located about an hour's motors away from Clem's Marina in Corpus Christi, the commute is time well spent to fish such an incredible body of water. The commute is even further enhanced with a Captain like Mitch at the helm to keep spirits high with his jokes and jovial personality! Once you get to Baffin, you'll be targeting Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and other species that just don't get the same pressure they do around the rest of the Coastal Bend. This means hungry naive fish, rod-bending action, and happy customers!

Captain Mitch feels equally at home wade fishing or drift fishing from the boat, fishing with live bait or with artificial lures. Let him know your preference and he will be more than happy to accommodate!

Make sure you bring a valid Texas fishing license, food and drinks of your choice (no glass), sunscreen, and a hat.

You're bound to have the trip of a lifetime when stretching your line with Captain Mitch. His commitment to sharing the joy of fishing is contagious!

I would highly reccomend Captain Mitch. He’s hands down the best around . He will put you on the fish, is an excellent teacher who is super knowledgeable and willing to take the time to teach different techniques and what the different species of fish prefer . On top of being a Top Notch Captain , he’s a super nice guy. We had a blast and caught some super nice fish . Thanks Captain...

If you are looking to catch fish at any experience level and have a trip to remember, Mitch is an outstanding and friendly guide! He was well prepared, communicated times and location well, and was very knowledgeable of the location and local wildlife. He even fileted and packaged our catch for us. Above and beyond service. highly recommended by me and my father!

Captain Mitch is fun to hop in the water with.
Put us on some fish, explained why we were doing what we were doing, and even pointed out some park-and-wade spots for future trips to Corpus.
(Too soon to review his recipes!)

Now that the freezer is full of reds we'll be coming back to chase a 30in trout!

5 star guide easy. No we didn’t limit out but you won’t find a guide out there that will put in the time and energy that CAPT Mitch did. He got us on fish and I will go with him exclusively when I go with a guide. He’s that good.

Went fishing with Captain Mitch on 10/24 and had a great time. He was very knowledgeable about fishing in both Baffin Bay as well as laguna madre and we caught a good amount of keeper speckled trout and a black drum. We release another good amount of undersized trout !! He was super personable and shared his knowledge of fishing. I would definitely going fishing with him again.
