Hello, thanks for visiting our web site. My name is Marc Mitrany owner and operator of Ojai AnglerProfessional Fishing Guide Service. Marc is a professional Bass fishing guide and instructor on world famous Lake Casitas and Castaic Lake in the beautiful state of Southern California. Located just a few minutes from Ventura, between Malibu and Santa Barbara, Lake Casitas is the jewel of the Ojai Valley, where luxury rules and legendary bass fishing reigns.
We recently celebrated our Fourteenth consecutive year of excellence, guiding our clients 200 plus days a year with, thirty-five years of bass fishing experience and twelve years of tournament fishing knowledge with several top 10 finishes and Big Fish Awards.
Marc Mitrany an Ojai Valley Native, and entrepreneur started Ojai Angler Professional Fishing Guide Services to share his experience and expert fishing knowledge. Marc's strong back ground in customer service was developed working as a manager at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa a world class five diamond rated, Spa and Golf Resort. From tournament fishing to the fresh and salt water destinations in Alaska, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Louisiana, Panama and Hawaii. Marc's expertise has captured the media's attention. Marc appears regularly with Keith Covey of World Wide Fishing Guide on the Outdoor Channel, Adventure Guides Fishing Edition withHost John Dietsch. Marc has been featured in Field and Stream, on the cover of California Fishing and Hunting News. Also a entire chapter of, " The Definitive Guide to Fishing in Southern California" by Chris Shaffer features Marc as the expert guide on Casitas. Press releases include: BassMasters Magizine by Craig Lamb, Forbes by Monte Burke, Sunset, California Game and Fish, LA Times by Pete Thomas, Orange County Register by Dave Strege and Star Free Press news papers. Marc's recent exposure BASS THE MOVIE a Film by Jamie Howard features Marc Mitrany fishing with conventional gear and professional fly fisherman John Sherman on the fly rod. Bill Dance, IGFA Hall of Fame angler calls Bass The Movie" a true gift to the sport". Marc's unique guide service and style is demonstrated and supported by our clients and the fishing industry.
When you want smokin' bass action, Lake Casitas is the place to cast if you can outsmart one of the really big ones, you might just go home with a world record and millions of dollars. We will provide you with professional bass fishing instruction. Two of the top-10 heaviest large mouth bass in the world were caught in Lake Casitas. It's no wonder that World Wide Fishing Guide and Bassin' Magazine is calling it one of the top five large mouth bass lakes in the nation.
We do not fish when guiding, unless for instructional purposes. We are there to instruct and teach our clients how to catch fish.
We practice catch and release for the treasures of the lake and the living resource it provides. We provide angling adventures for the next generation...and the next!

Hi Marc and Amy,
I just wanted to let you know what a great time we had on the pontoon Saturday May 15th. It is very difficult to find a fishing guide or fishing charter that will take someone who is in wheelchair. The pontoon worked out great as I was able to get my wheelchair through the side doorway with minimal assistance from my son. Once on the pontoon Marc took care of everything from baiting my hook to netting my fish and bring them on board the pontoon.
The full day trip was beautiful. All four of us in our party caught fish ( 19 in all). We even caught a triple header ( catching 3 different species of fish). The best part was that I was able to show my son's that I am still the BEST fisherman as I caught the two biggest fish, one 5lb and one 7 lb big mouth bass.
I would encourage anyone who is in a wheelchair and loves to fish to contact Marc and Amy. They will get you out on a wonderful lake, put a fishing pole in your hand and lead you to the fish!!
We will be back to see you next year!
Scott, Ian and Henry Bjerke
