We had an absolute blast with Fish Taxi Sportfishing! It was a first time experience for our family. Steve and Tristan were amazing crew/captains. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and we caught tons of fish! Everyone in our group had a blast. Steve and Tristan were great with our kids, teaching them and answering the tons of questions the kids had! It was the absolute best part of our vacation! We will do it again, for sure, and we would recommend them to everyone!

Great time on Fish Taxi with Capt. Jason and Mate Joseph. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with a passion for fishing. Boat was comfortable and spacious. We caught 6 different species (rock bass, calico bass, sculpin, mackerel, sheepshead, and barracuda) and enough keepers of the former 3 species to make a large batch of ceviche for a lunch later that afternoon.

This 3 hr trip is perfect for beginners and families looking to get out on the water without having to commit an entire day. A short beautiful boat ride from the marina to fishing grounds meant little down time and mostly fishing during those 3 hours. Through no fault of the Captain, I had mixed up the departure time and showed up 45 min late to the boat. But even with an afternoon charter planned, the Captain cut his own midday break time short and still honored the full 3hrs which was greatly appreciated. Please note that the departure time may possibly vary to what is posted on this site due to fishing conditions. The Captain knew there was an early bite and notified me immediately when I booked that we would be leaving earlier than posted. It was my fault for not reading the text entirely. Once again, the Captain was putting full effort in providing the highest possible chances for success, which we found.

I will definitely be taking the family on this trip next time we are in Oceanside, and you should too.

The crew was great they did it all for us. set us up to fish, baited hooks for those who didn’t want to. Took care of any technical problems. They cleaned and packed the catch, nothing was to much trouble! Really great crew. Very affordable and just an overall great time.

Tristan was an excellent captain and led us to find not only numerous bass but also a ray (which we tossed back) and a massive yellow tail! Thanks for an amazing day! We did the 5 hour trip which was perfect for our group of 6 (but take something if sensitive to sea sickness).
