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!

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. 🎣

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.

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.

Captain Doug was a good man to be out on the water with all day. Any questions I had he was able to answer for me happily, was willing to share the knowledge he has learned over the years and share it with me. Used his expertise in trolling to get me hooked onto several fish. If you want a safe and successful trip you can go out alone or bring your family this is the proper charter to go on.
