Captain
Rickey Acosta

Member since February 2020 Rio Vista, United States
Background
Sacramento, CA born and raised, Capt. Rickey grew up fishing the California Delta and its surrounding rivers, which he fell in love with at an early age. He decided it was a time to share his years of knowledge on these unique fisheries for everyone to enjoy. Whether you are anchored on the scenic CA Delta or running a jet boat full throttle through 6 inches of water, Capt. Rickey will make sure your trip is one you won't forget.
Techniques
Every fishery holds a special place in the captain's heart. Each species offer unique opportunities and environments to spend your day in. Capt. Rickey loves anchor fishing for Sturgeon with the BBQ going. Nothing beats watching huge Sturgeon jump clear out of the water. Drifting roe for Salmon is one of the captain's favorite ways to catch it, then again, having Salmon swallow a lure while your rod's in your hand is also something everyone should experience at least once in their life. The captain loves getting into a school of Striped Bass and watching the chaos ensue of everyone fighting fish at the same time. As you can see, he just loves everything about fishing.
