Full Day Sturgeon Charter on March 8, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childSteve and Jeff hosted my son and me for an 8 hour sturgeon expedition. Steve and Jeff did a fantastic job moving us around based on the conditions as well as keeping the bait fresh. They are also very personable so it was a great conversation throughout the day.

Richard Mahoney5.0Delta Sportfishing - Sturgeon
Full Day Sturgeon Charter on October 2, 2020I have been fishing the Delta most of my life, I have never had a day like the day we fished with Delta Sportfishing. Steve, is the most experienced captain I've ever fished with and I would strongly recommend if you ever wanted to fish in the Delta to book a trip with Steve.

Full Day Bay Trip – Shared on July 15, 2019 • 3 adultsCaptain Steve and his Assistant Rich were very knowledgable and Pleasant. Assisted our whole crew in Baiting our lines, helping all us in the procedures in reeling in a fish! It was a fun Adventure. I am recommending to my family and friends to take this Charter. We had so much fun circling the Bay!! Captain Steve knows his stuff!!

Full day fishing trim in the San Francisco Bay
Full Day Bay Trip – Shared on June 15, 2019 • 2 adultsMy Son and I had a great time today. Steve did an excellent job finding the fish. We caught 30 plus fish and one shark. We were only able to keep 6 strippers and 2 halibut but that is okay, we were on the fish all day. I plan on booking a trip with Steve this fall for salmon on the Delta. Great job Steve, Darrell & Shane Sawyer
