Meet Captain Shawn Mitchell

Captain Shawn Mitchell of SaltyFrog Charters brings years of experience and a true passion for fishing to every trip on the waters of St. Bernard, Louisiana. Specializing in redfish and speckled trout, Captain Shawn has spent a lifetime fishing the rich waters of Lake Borgne, Biloxi Marsh, and Delacroix. His deep-rooted love for fishing began in his early childhood, instilled by his family and environment. Having grown up in Louisiana, Captain Shawn’s dedication to the outdoors is evident, and his commitment to the local fishing community is a core part of his guiding philosophy.

Beyond his love for fishing, Captain Shawn is an Eagle Scout and takes pride in mentoring others, sharing his knowledge and experience to help clients improve their skills on the water.
