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.

    Great day on the water! First Salmon! Great Success!

    Half Day AM — King Salmon Private G on September 8, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an incredible day King Salmon fishing on the Delta with Captain Doug McArthur of Team Mc Fishing Guide Service. My coworker and I both landed 17-pound King Salmon - this was my very first salmon catch ever, and it's an experience I won't forget! Captain Doug's passion for what he does is obvious from the moment you step on the boat. He was determined and wouldn't stop until we both landed our fish. Along the way, I learned so much about King Salmon fishing techniques on the Delta - he's clearly knowledgeable and loves sharing that with his clients. The customer service was top-notch from start to finish, and the whole day felt perfectly run. If you're looking for a guide who's skilled, patient, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great trip, look no further. Highly recommend Captain Doug and Team Mc Fishing Guide Service - we'll definitely be back!

    Half Day AM — King Salmon Shared PP - 9:00 AM on October 5, 2026 • 4 adults

    Doug, the captain was very knowlegable of area, where to go to catch fish, he just loves fiching, but most of all he was super friendlly and made sure we had a great time. By the end he felt more like a friend and not just the captain we just met that day. And, yes, we did catch a huge salmon. Highly recomend Doug

    Captain Doug was an awesome host, great with my 10 year old son! Bites were hard to come by but Captain made sure my son got his first Salmon on his birthday. Boat was awesome, gear was great and he even fileted the catch for us! Thank you Captain Doug for the great day on the water.

    Perfect day

    Full Day — Delta Stripers Shared PP on January 29, 2026

    I went fishing today with captain Doug and he put us on the fish within 20 minutes of leaving the dock. We had about 40 fish to the boat and I kept a limit of hefty zebras. The boat is spacious and well equipped. I’d 100% go again and recommend him to anyone who wants to have a good time.

    Best Trout Fishing Day!

    Full Day – Trout (Shared) on October 1, 2024

    I took my 2 and 4 year old kids, my wife, a coworker and his 4 and 8 year old daughters—and we fished Collins Lake for the 2nd annual GOAF (GetOutAndFish) kids derby. By absolute luck, the winners of raffle for a boat day with Team MC Fishing, weren’t able to join. So Matt with GOAF and Doug, Captain of Team MC Fishing, offered to let us take their place. This was top 5 best fishing trips of my life. Seeing the kids faces light up as each one of them caught fish. Cap. Doug (and his deckhand David) provided the absolute best kids fishing trip. They were not only patient, but encouraged learning while the kids messed with gear, touched screens and asked a million questions. If you are looking for a genuine good hearted guide, that will ALSO put you on fish and keep you laughing and enjoying your day, THIS IS YOUR GUIDE TO HOOK UP WITH! Not to mention, his boat is so nice and even has a heater!

    Full Day – Trout (Private) on March 5, 2024

    Went fishing with Team Mc Fishing . He got us on a good amount of fish not only that but he was teaching us how to catch fish to. Had a blast hooking up on a bunch of fish and hanging out with him on the boat. Capt. Doug is very knowledgeable in fishing and if yall haven't booked a fishing trip with him I would highly recommend it. Go check him out 😃😃!!

    Fishing with Doug

    Full Day — Delta Stripers Private G on August 9, 2026 • 1 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

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
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!

    Water temps down to 67° and allot less weeds in the water than a few days ago. We started off trolling the incoming tide and hooked up on the first 2 passes. We ran 2 more passes and headed further downstream. We managed to hook another one that made it right next to the boat and popped off right before we could get the net under it. The size of the last one was easily past 20 pounds. Our first 2 fish were 5 and 10 pounds each. The cooler weather is coming, the water temps are still coming down. We still have about 2 months left of this Fall Salmon season and would be happy to have you out for a day on the boat.

    Water temps are still warm in our area. Just under 69° today and the weather is still hot out pushing 100°. We managed to hook up a 24.8 pound king salmon on our half day trip on the river today. There are fresh fish moving in every day, and once the water temps start falling even more, the bite will continue to improve.

    Another beautiful day on the river chasing king salmon. We had to find a nice salmon before our guest had to catch his plane home to China. We did just that and on the first pass of the morning. 13.35 pounds on the Scorpion Salmon Spinners I designed years ago for Shasta Tackle. They are still catching fish on the Sacramento River. Water temps are down around 67° and with this weekend being the Rio Vista Striper Festival and Derby, it will be busy on the water. We are booked all weekend but have some open days this coming week.

    Started out the morning on the outgoing tide ending it's run. Dropped 4 rods into troll scorpion salmon spinners and as I was dropping the 4th rod in, as soon as it hit the bottom, fish on! First fish was over 9 pounds and came into the net quickly. We reset after finishing the troll pattern and ran another upstream set. Same color lures, same upstream troll and boom! Second fish on for the morning. 21 plus pound king salmon to the net. We ran another couple troll lines and ended the 4 hours on the water with just over 30 lbs for the 2 fish. Guests today and myself had prior afternoon commitments, so we all had to head back to land. Water temps about 67° in Rio Vista area of the Sacramento River today. With the continued temps falling and full moon approaching, we should be seeing more of these big fish move into the system.

    10th birthday trip today on board. Water temps are just under 67° in the mornings and up to 69° in the afternoon. We were able to get away from the 100 plus boats that weren't catching anything from what we saw. When it's super busy on the water, we move away from the fleet and find our own clean water. This King came on the original Shasta tackle Scorpion Salmon Spinners we developed over a decade ago. With water temps cooling a little more each week, we are getting into the prime time for these dime bright salmon coming into the lower river. There is still some hyacinth and witches hair grass in the rivers and we have been moving around to get away from that stuff in the areas we are fishing. Book a trip and let's get on some great looking fish!
