* For groups of less than 3, contact us for Shared trip options.

If you're going to cast a line in Northern California, look no further than the Team Mc Fishing Guide Service.

Around here, the fishing is popular for King Salmon, Striped Bass, Sturgeon, Catfish, and more with any luck. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids, as well as first responders and military veterans, are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You can't go wrong with snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip, bottled water is available on board at no charge!

You'll be fishing aboard a 24' Alumaweld aluminum fishing boat that can carry up to 6 anglers plus crew. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a portable flushable toilet on board for your convenience.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included for certain types of fishing trips. Such as live minnows for drifting bait for Stripers.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunscreen and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is not allowed.

*Meeting time is flexible as well based on tides and we can run trips starting later in the day for an afternoon into evening trip as well.
We are flexible on our departure times to allow you the best opportunity for your time on the water. Feel free to mention you would like an adjusted start time other than the standard 8 am.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Team Mc Fishing Guide Service is just a click away.

Fishing with Doug
Full Day — Delta Stripers Private G on August 9, 20261 adult

Capt Doug was determined to get us into feeding fish! We trolled, jigged and anchored! He was willing to do what was needed without forcing a predetermined method. I finished the day with 7 stripers and 4 catfish!! Thankyou Doug for guiding me to my completion of catching a fish in all 50 states! Catching a striper in the delta has been a goal for a while now. Hope to see you in Michigan, just let me know your species choice, we will make it happen. Capt Doug was an exceptional guide, skill, knowledge, friendly, sense of humor, flexibility! I highly recommend team Mcfishing for your delta fishing experience! Also, it was a sweltering 102° and we were still successful

Response from Captain

Thank you for choosing me to complete this quest of yours. It didn't feel like work to me at all, it was like fishing with an old friend even though we have never met before. This is the reason I like taking people fishing, to enjoy the time on the water with good people, creating memories to last a lifetime. Hopefully you make it back to California for another trip one day, and it's not 102° with 74° water temps, lol. But as my motto goes, Make it happen Captain! I'm so happy we could complete the quest for you and now it's time for me to come out your way and learn some new fishing techniques in your backyard. Thank you again for choosing me to make this happen.

Targeting Striped Bass on the California Delta
Full Day — Delta Stripers Shared PP on March 23, 2026

I consider myself a knowledgeable and experienced angler as I have spent most of my life enjoying a variety of fishing. From the lakes and streams of the Rockys and Sierra Nevadas targeting native species of trout, flipping lures in Gold County ponds in hopes to fight a springtime largemouth bass or Crappie, to trolling in the ocean for king salmon. I know my way around a rod and reel to say the least. In my travels I have come in contact with only a few that see the outdoors through a similar lens as I. Living in the age of technology, it is easy to get sucked into the opinions of others and make the sport so competitive that it has become more of a status symbol and an opportunity to sell product than enjoying a nice day on the water. I started the day fishing with a man with 2 young boys I had never met and left the dock as friends. I learned some new tricks to make me more successful while targeting stripers and restored my hope that there are a few others still around that enjoy the entire experience of a good day on the water, and not just when the reel is screaming with a hog on the other end of the line, which in fact were did our fair share of that as well. Capt. McArthur thank you for getting me on board at the last minute and showing us all a great day. Thank you for showing the next generation of sportsman what it's really all about. I would highly recommend booking a trip!

Thanks for jumping on board to fill a seat and share the day with a family that just moved to the area recently. Looking forward to another adventure on the water and hopefully you can join us again soon.

Full day trip with my kids
Full Day — Delta Stripers Private G on November 27, 2025

Had an awesome experience with Team Mc Fishing. From start to finish the trip was professional, well-organized, and a blast. Captain Doug was extremely knowledgeable of the waterway and did an incredible job putting us right on the fish. You could tell he knew exactly where to go and when to be there. A huge shoutout to deckboss Matt as well—he was very knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help. Whether it was explaining techniques, adjusting gear, or sharing insight on fish behavior, Matt made sure everyone felt confident and had a great time. Top-notch crew all around. Highly recommend Team Mc Fishing to anyone looking for a great day on the water. 🎣

what a great trip!
Full Day — Delta Stripers Private G on March 23, 20261 adult2 children

My two boys were very happy with their catches — one striped bass weighing 7 pounds 11 ounces, and the other almost 4 pounds. Even though we only caught two fish, we truly enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing experience on the water. Captain Doug and his crew were experienced, professional, and very helpful, making the trip safe and enjoyable for our family. Their guidance and friendly attitude made the outing even more memorable.

Response from Captain

thank you guys for joining us for a nice day on the water with a good breeze finally. The heat has hit us earlier than normal and we are making adjustments as necessary to stay on top of these fish that are moving into the rivers. Looking forward to our next trip, hopefully we will get the boys on some salmon in a few months. Thanks again for choosing to spend your day with us!

I have been fishing a variety of lakes and rivers in Northern California since i was a kid in the 1970's. I have built my fishing team from a group of family and friends starting in 2001 to fish in local derbies and tournaments. We started out by donating our time to local groups to get kids fishing as well as veterans on the water also. in 2011 I started the guide service to officially be able to take guests out fishing on the lakes. In 2013, the addition of being licensed as a Captain with OUPV (6 pack) credentials for tidal waters was obtained. After a couple of years, I was able to take and pass the Near Coastal credentials for running passengers up to 100 miles offshore as well. My personal and career background includes being licensed as a Paramedic. Having worked both Fire and Ambulance for many years, allows me to be comfortable in handling any unforseen circumstances that may arise also. I pride myself on providing a safe, and fun, family-friendly environment on the boat for a day. Please contact me for a fun filled adventure and let's go fishing!
