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.

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!

Your captain
Rio Vista, California, United States
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!
