SaltyFrog Charters Customer Reviews

After two weather-postponed trips, we finally got to fish with Capt. Shawn. What a great time! At dawn, Capt. Shawn recommended we allow an incoming storm cell to pass, delaying our departure by an hour. Though anxious to get underway, we appreciated his concern for safety. Capt. Shawn's very first fishing spot had all three of us halfway to our limit of speckled trout (primary goal), including a few released bull reds and a nice Black Drum. When the action slowed there, he had immediate ideas for where we might search for somewhat bigger trout. By 10:30am we had all limited out on speckled trout! His "chariot" ran smoothly and we covered some ground during the morning. Capt. Shawn juggled the incoming fish as all three of us often had "fish on" simultaneously, measuring them to insure they were sufficiently long enough to keep. Capt. Shawn was very personable and hospitable, making our July 7th trip successful, enjoyable and quite fun! So much so that, on our way back to the dock, we were already making plans for another trip with Capt. Shawn. Thanks very much, Capt. Shawn!

Kerry Redmann, Thank you! You folks were awesome. Looking forward to our next trip.

Captain Shawn Mitchell with Salty Frog Charters worked hard to keep us on the fish and find the right spots throughout the trip. The action started early, and we caught 20 speckled trout between 6:30 and 7:30 AM alone. By the end of the day, we had our limit of 50 keeper specks! Captain Shawn's knowledge, dedication, and willingness to keep moving until he found the fish made all the difference. It was an awesome day on the water, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Went out with Shawn last week and it was awesome. Shawn knows his way around the marsh. I would give more stars if I could. Not only did we pack our freezers full of trout, reds, and sheepshead, I caught my largest fish ever with Shawn, 40 lbs. Definitely plan on fishing with Shawn again.

We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Shawn! There was plenty of action, lots of fish, and even more fun. My son thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the trip, which made the experience even more special. Captain Shawn was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure we had a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better day of fishing. Thanks again, Captain Shawn! – Chris Babin

We fished with salty frog for my son’s birthday and our experience with Shawn was top notch. We had to work hard to catch our limit but caught fish all day. There is no telling how many redfish we caught. We even caught 2 over 27” that we had to throw back. Thanks Shawn for your hard work and we will be back to fish with you again.

Had a great trip with yall. Glad I could be a part of your son’s birthday and help yall make some memories

We had an outstanding trip with Captain Shawn! My son and I headed out for a morning of fishing, and thanks to Captain Shawn’s knowledge and experience, we limited out on speckled trout by 8:30 AM. From the start, Captain Shawn was professional, prepared, and focused on making sure we had a successful day on the water. His understanding of the local fishery and attention to detail put us right on the fish, and he was always willing to share helpful tips along the way. Beyond the great fishing, he made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking guide who knows how to put clients on fish, Captain Shawn is an excellent choice. We highly recommend booking a trip with him!

When I tell you a time was had!!! We had a group of 6 so we teamed up with SaltyFrog Fishing Charters (Capt Shawn) and Cajun Outcast Inshore Charters (Capt. Chad). The laughs started within 10 minutes of arriving to the dock! Both captains were very experienced, knowledgeable, hospitable and definitely made sure they put us in the best spots to catch fish!! We hooked multiple bull reds, speckle trout, sheepsheads and drum!! Definitely will be booking again very soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks for the review

We had a great time fishing with Shawn. It was a difficult day with high winds and steady rain. He was a consummate pro and put us on fish at a couple of different spots. We caught mostly redfish and sheepshead with some speckled trout. Having traveled for the trip, we appreciated his willingness to take us out.
