About Your Trip

Join Captain Frank for an unforgettable day of Bass fishing on the legendary California Delta! These waters are renowned for their abundant and healthy Largemouth Bass population, and Captain Frank knows all the tricks to help you hook into some beauties. Whether you're a seasoned angler or brand-new to fishing, this trip offers an amazing mix of relaxation, excitement, and hands-on learning that will make you a better fisherman by day's end.

Captain Frank’s passion for fishing runs deep, with a lifetime of competitive Bass fishing under his belt. He’s not just taking you fishing—he’s teaching you how to fish like a pro. You’ll pick up expert tips and techniques, from reading the Delta’s waters to understanding seasonal Bass behavior, so you can make the most of your time on the water. Every moment with Captain Frank is packed with insights that can only come from years of experience, giving you the tools you need to find and target Bass with confidence.

You’ll be fishing aboard a top-of-the-line Triton 20 TRX tournament Bass boat, equipped with a powerful 250 HP Mercury Pro XS engine that can zip you across the Delta’s channels and marshes with ease. This vessel is outfitted with professional-grade electronics, including Lowrance HDS Live 9" and 12" fish finders, so you’ll have the best technology at your fingertips to locate the fish. Designed for performance and comfort, the boat has plenty of space for you and one other angler to cast, relax, and fully enjoy your day on the water.

Captain Frank offers a variety of trips—choose from half-day, full-day, or even promotional charters designed to meet your schedule and fishing goals. No matter which option you pick, your trip will include quality rods, reels, tackle, and a selection of proven Bass lures. Captain Frank will provide drinks and snacks to keep you fueled up, so all you need to bring is your California fishing license (be sure to purchase this beforehand) and a camera to capture those big catches before you release them back into the water.
This is a catch-and-release-only adventure, focused on preserving the Delta’s incredible fishery for future generations. So, bring your enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and get ready for a day of skill-building and excitement with one of California's best!

How did you get started guiding?

With the love and support of my family and friends and a true mentor by the name of Bobby Barrack. After going out on two guided trips, he provided me the knowledge, the inspiration, taught me the mechanics and gave me the tools for success and how to be a successful pro tournament angler and guided fisherman!

What makes you different from other guides?

The thing that makes me different from other guides is that I am all about the educational & instructional pieces. The reason for this is that my clientele have the tools and know how when they are alone or preparing for their next fishing trip. I am all about the mechanical and basic fundamentals and know how to catch fish, especially largemouth bass in the tidal waters of the California Delta. I am all about attention to detail & the finer points/aspects of fishing. Definitely a hands on approach & I make the trip very lively when the client is rewarded in catching fish or perhaps, the opportunity in hooking a trophy fish of a lifetime.
