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.

We had a great time on our twilight troll.  Captain Jason told us he would get us on fish.  He delivered.  We caught sand bass, calico bass, sculpins, whitefish, rock fish, flounder, mackerel, and Spanish mackerel. We walked away with a huge bag of fillets.  Crew was super helpful and polite answered all our questions even if they may have seemed dumb. As Coloradans we don’t know much about sea fishing but they we all kind and patient with us.  I would definitely book again.  The joy of finding and catching was evident on all the crew. They seem to love what they are doing and it comes through in the experience we had.  Thank you to Jason, RJ, and Drake.

Our family of four had a great time fishing with Captain Jason & first mate Tristan. We went out on a 3 hour expedition and we anchored once Captain Jason got us to a “good” spot. The bait was in the water within moment of getting the boat secured and we started getting ‘hits’ on our lines almost immediately. My daughter caught the first fish, then my son caught the next, and then we all had to grab a pole and we were all catching fish. We were in a huge school of mackerel and they were taking our bait before it could get the bait below them to where we could possibly catch something larger. But the most important parts were that everyone had fun, the Captain & Firstmate were top notch, and no one got too motion sick from the rolling waves. We highly recommend booking with FishTaxi if youe looking for a great family outing. Next time, a 3 day trip for Blue Fin Tuna!

No better way to spend a birthday than on the water and the Fish Taxi was the perfect choice to take us there. From the time I booked to the time we got back to the dock everything was top notch. Captain Jason sent us all the information we needed and was super responsive with any questions we had. He and Captain Collin went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome trip and were patient and attentive with the kids. They kept us fishing and catching the whole time. Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday, these guys did a great job and have the setup to get you on the fish.

Captain Jason and RJ gave my kids and I a great fishing trip.  We booked a half day and it was the perfect trip for my younger ones.  We caught some sharks while trolling to and from the fishing spot.  Also caught a bunch of rock fish.  They kept us reeling in stuff almost the entire time and we went home with a cooler full of fresh fish! Doesn’t get much better than that.  Thanks guys!
