Fish Taxi Sportfishing: Catch Lots of Fish & Have Fun in Oceanside!

Fish Taxi Sportfishing aims to provide an exciting and fruitful fishing experience. Captain Don Nelson and his skilled crew offer fishing trips from Oceanside throughout the year. Regardless of your skill level, they can customize the trip to meet your needs.

You will be fishing from a comfortable 34’ flybridge, accommodating up to 6 anglers. Powered by twin 380 HP Cummins engines, the boat ensures quick and efficient navigation. With top-notch navigational electronics, locating fish schools becomes easier. The crew will provide you with professional fishing equipment.

The fishing techniques and approaches vary based on your target fish. Choose from trolling, spinning, bottom fishing, or deep-sea fishing. Fishing closer to the shore increases your chances of catching Halibut, Calico Bass, Rockfish, and small Sharks. Venturing offshore offers the opportunity to catch Mahi Mahi, Lingcod, Tuna, and Barracuda.

In addition to Shimano and Pen gear, the captain will arrange live bait before your trip. Some snacks and drinks will be available on board, but feel free to bring your own. The crew will clean your catch, and while not mandatory, tips are appreciated.

Make the most of the California sun by spending an enjoyable day with Fish Taxi Sportfishing!
