This was our first time ever fishing intercoastal waters.We usually fish inland freshwater lakes. Capt. Mitch drove us to all the good fishing spots he knew, to catch Redfish & Black Drum. Apparently fishing was not as good as it could have been that day, but our Captain did not give up until he drove us to a fishing spot far up into one of the rivers by St. Augustine, and that’s when were finally catching fish. He even extended our paid fishing time by an hour for us catching fish, which we much appreciated. The boat he had was a catamaran type fishing boat, which gave us a nice smooth enjoyable ride. No one got seasick. When we got back to the harbor other fisherman were surprised we got fish, because it apparently had been a bad afternoon for fishing, period. Mitch cleaned our catch efficiently and fast. Later that day, we got to pan-fry part of our catch. The redfish & the drum were delicious. We even froze some and took it back home to Michigan. We intend on going fishing again with Capt. Mitch, when we’re back in St. Augustine!

Thank you!
My brother and I took my two teenagers on a four-hour trip with Captain Mitch for the kids’ spring break.
We started off shore. My brother’s bait was stolen on his first cast and he brought up an incredible sheepshead on his second. I landed a small pigfish on my first cast. Unfortunately, as good as the fishing was, the combination of rolling seas, current, and ineffectiveness of our Dramamine meant that we had to head back to shore almost immediately.
Unfazed by our need to change plans, Captain Mitch quickly pivoted to an in-shore experience. Each of us had a bit of luck and went home with some great memories and enough cleaned sheepshead to feed a family of four.
His boat was incredible and immaculately maintained. Captain Mitch was super friendly and patient with the three neophytes and had some pro tips for the more experienced angler in our group. I highly recommend Captain Mitch and Get Schooled Fishing Charters. We’ll certainly try to book him again next time we’re in the area.

For our first time going sea fishing, this was an excellent experience. Captain Mitch put us on fish right away and we continued to catch them for the duration of the trip. He made sure everyone had their poles rigged up correctly and kept switching out baits for us. Overall, this was one of the best fishing experiences we’ve ever had and we will for sure be booking with him again in the future.
Thank you. I look forward to next time!
Boat has a great deck, and you may question why a Catamaran? This is a fairly new custom boat for Captain Mitch. This Captain has his clients best interest. We focused on bait first thing. Who hammered it first, caught the most while other boats were still looking. Capt Mitch must be able to see 30 feet underwater because he targeted the schools of bait 3 out of 4 throws with his cats net. Captain is equipped with 4 bean bags, like riding in a Cadillac or Bentley! A cushioned ride to all his hot spots. A grade school teacher, he cares about his students and his fishing clients. Great trip Captain Mitch

My family and I had a great time with Captain Mitch. For reference it was my 12 year old daughter, 8 year old son and wife with myself. The weather was drizzling but calm and Captain Mitch took us around inshore and put us on fish. We caught redfish, flounder, stingrays, and some throw back catfish and baby shark. We had plenty of room to fish and had a great time. As noted above, keep the stingrays, they are delicious. My two year old ate them and loved them and Captain Mitch knows how to clean your catch!
