Another beautiful Delta day!

Started off the morning doing a search pattern on the old Salmon grounds above the Rio Vista bridge. Water temps on the surface were right at 73 degrees and stayed there for the day. Water had some grass and weeds in it but not too bad. We were able to mark some fish down along the bottom channel and the deeper holes. We ran a few downstream trolling patterns using our old trusty Scorpion Salmon Spinners that we designed years ago for Shasta Tackle. We were using the 3 way dropper weights to bounce close to the bottom with the spinners. We headed up a narrow section of the river looking for fish hopefully stacking up in the holes and deeper channels and didn't mark hardly any fish at all. We moved back into the main river and started dropping P Line Laser Minnows on the few schools of fish we found suspended and hooked into some shaker sized Stripers. We ended the day and headed back to the docks to clean up the boat and get things put away for the busy weekend we had planned off the water. After speaking with our guests on Saturday, they informed us the water temps were reading a little lower than Friday on our boat. They did report working the river for the morning and not finding any fish on Saturday on their own boat. We will be back on the water this week tracking water temps and following the fish migrating up river. Please follow us on all socials under Team Mc Fishing Guide Service for continued reports, photos and videos. Contact us for any questions you have prior to booking a trip so we can offer you the best experience possible.

1 week into the opening of the season and we are seeing scattered reports of fish all up and down our rivers. Our boat is getting serviced currently and will running our first Salmon trip of the season very soon. We have a full 5 month long season, with 2 fish per person, per day limit. We are getting allot of dates booked up and will be running private trips and open seat trips. If you want to book a trip and have less than the 3 person minimum, contact us directly. We can setup a day to add you in as a solo or double and then leave it open to allow other solo anglers to join us. We will also carry additional gear on board to switch over for Striper trolling if we get limits of Salmon early in the trip. If you book a full Day, we will take you fishing for the full day. If you have any questions prior to booking, simply send a message so we can assist you in booking a great day on the water.

Today's charter started off right at high tide before the outgoing started. We marked scattered fish and had several strikes trolling A rigs. They were hitting the dummy teasers on the A rigs. We boated our first 20 inch fish pretty quickly. After making another move to search for more fish, we continued to get strikes on A rigs and trolling minnows from Snagum n Bagum custom tackle. After making a move to another slough and finding more marks on the sonar and getting more teaser strikes, we made it happen. Our young men we had on board hit a 7 pound 11 ounce striper. We got a bright healthy male striper over the rail and big smiles all around. We continued to troll got a few hours and even dropped cut baits on a school of fish. Cut bait produced multiple shaker like bites and the tide was really slowing down now. We made one more trolling pass and called it a day. We came back to the marina, cleaned a couple of nice healthy fish and sent our guests home with fresh fish for dinner. Water temps in the Mokolumne River were 65-67° We specialize in getting families on the water and provide a safe, fun environment for kids to catch their first fish!
