Looking to explore the abundance of Sacramento River away from the crowds? The experienced and friendly crew of Topline Sport Fishing will know exactly where to take you. Captain Nelson Vineyard dedicated his life to finding the productive fishing spots in the area and he’s happy to share the knowledge with his customers.

Join him on a 23’ aluminum fisher that is a comfortable ride for up to 4 anglers. With twin 115 HP Suzuki engines, the boat is safe and reliable and able to take you to the best bite in no time. You’ll find everything you need on board, including quality Penn, Okuma, and Phoenix rods and reels, a fighting chair, and a live bait well.

When it comes to the fish you’re most likely to catch, Largemouth and Striped Bass are the local favorites. Both half day and full day trips are on offer, and either is an excellent choice for a memorable family outing, birthday, or team building. If you’re up for a different kind of challenge, go after Sturgeon, the mammoth fish that calls these waters home.

Capt. Nelson and his first mate will take care of everything you need while you’re fishing, they’ll even process and package your catch for you at the end of the day. The best way to show gratitude for their service is through tips and smiles.

Make sure you have your fishing license with you and pack plenty of drinks and food to keep you going. Kids are welcome to come with you, as long as they’re 3 or older, and Capt. Nelson will provide life jackets for everyone.

Discover the excellent Rio Vista angling action with Topline Sport Fishing and you’ll be coming back for more every year!

Full Day - Delta
Full Day Trip – 4 People Special on March 26, 20224 adults
I have been using FishingBooker for many years. All great experiences but Nelson and his son are something special. They were very patient and informative. They were not just focussed on catching fish but willing to spend time before leaving the dock to talk about technique and education of the tackle. He also was generous and offering to be there for questions I may have when I go fishing by myself. Super high recommendation and would say if you want to catch Striped Bass in the California Delta invest in a day with Nathan. Incidentally we caught 15 striped bass that day.

Awesome Day of Fishing with Captain Nelson
Full Day Trip on March 21, 20214 adults
Bottom line is: Topline Sport Fishing is the place to go for your next charter!!! When we arrived at the marina, Captain Nelson and his deck hand were ready for us. They were extremely well organized and clearly had done their homework on where we had a chance to catch some fish. In less than two hours, all four of us limited out. He provided us informative instruction before we left the marina and kept us involved in all parts of fishing experience. He and his deck hand worked very hard and were very organized, especially when we had three fish on separate lines at the same time!!!! We highly recommend using Topline Sport Fishing and can't wait to schedule another charter. Thanks for a great day of fishing!!

Great Trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 6, 20213 adults
Boat is very clean, maintained and well-equipped. All top of the line rod, reels, and tackle. Nelson and crew are easy going, professional, knowledgeable and fun to hang out with on the water. Despite some windy weather, Nelson worked hard to find calmer water which ended up being very productive for us. He put us on 11 Stripers on a half day trip and doesn't count minutes! Very much enjoyed the trip and will be using Nelson again. Highly recommended.
