After well over three decades of fishing the California Delta, Captain Steve Nicholas and his crew know what to fish for and where. They never give up even when the bite is slow.
"Each of us caught some sturgeon and my husband caught two! This definitely will be a birthday to remember and thank you to the team that made it happen!" — Amberine,
Suisun Bay offers exceptional fishing experiences in the heart of Northern California's vast waterways. Known for its thriving populations of striped bass and white sturgeon, these prized catches attract anglers year-round. The bay's unique position at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers creates nutrient-rich waters teeming with diverse species including largemouth bass, Chinook salmon, and black crappie.
This expansive estuary connects directly to the California Delta and San Francisco Bay, providing access to one of North America's largest wetland ecosystems. The Suisun Marsh's 84,000 acres of protected habitat foster remarkable biodiversity, serving as a natural nursery for fish while supporting over 220 bird species. Its shallow, turbid waters create ideal feeding grounds where juvenile fish flourish.
Navigating Suisun Bay is convenient with deep-water channels maintained at 8.5 feet depth, complemented by full-service marina facilities at Suisun City Marina. Experienced guides leverage local knowledge of seasonal patterns: striped bass migrations peak in spring and fall, while sturgeon fishing remains productive throughout the year. The bay's proximity to the Pacific Ocean contributes to dynamic tidal influences that concentrate baitfish and create prime fishing conditions.
