Captain
Doug Mcarthur

Member since March 2017 Rio Vista, United States
Background
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!
Techniques
Striper, Salmon, Trout, Catfish, Kokanee, Crappie, Sturgeon.
