How did you get started guiding?

Born and raised into a charter fishing family dating back to the late 1950’s. I can never think of a time in my life where I did not want to be a fishing guide.

What makes you different from other guides?

Firstly, I love taking people fishing regardless of experience level. Second, Years of traveling and fishing at the top level for world records , tournaments, and all big game species provide a different style of thinking that has proved wildly successful for any target species. The little things matter, top end tackle, 1st class boat and rigging make all the difference. A competitive mentality with a healthy dose of humor doesn’t hurt either!

I highly recommend Mitch. He's friendly, laid back and great with kids. He worked hard for us to find redfish. We moved around a lot as needed. I would definitely book with Mitch again.
