Went on the 10am to 4pm half day today on The City of Long Beach. As we got on our way I heard the Captain's advisory and for the first time on any boat I heard every single word. What we would be fishing that day how to rig up. And how fast we need to get a jig in the water after they're spotted. It was extremely helpful to be able to hear every word the captain was saying. I landed a large bonito on the bow because I knew I had to act fast. Hearing every word the Captain says makes during the whole trip made a huge difference. Another thing I noticed that upon boarding the restroom smelled lemony fresh. I've been on clean boats and not so clean boats but never lemon fresh! There was also upbeat music playing as we fished and it definitely made for a fun party-ish environment. Last but not least, Yellowtails on the half day! That alone would have made the trip excellent but the cleanliness, atmosphere and audio system made the trip even more enjoyable. I caught a small size one, but there were others on the boat who caught very nice ones. Bait was plentiful today. Thank you everyone on The City of Long Beach for an excellent trip. read more

Pierpoint Landing - Two bonitos and a small yellowtail on The City of Long Beach Half-Day. - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

Review for City of LB boat. The crew are horrible. They are way more concern about fishing than helping out. Honestly the worse charter fishing boat I have been on as for as being friendly and making me feel welcomed. Including the Captian they are all rude and very disrespectful, almost to the point where it might seem they are prejudice. Their attitude is if you dont like my rules then get off my boat and their rules are I do what I want and your nothing to me. I been to most of the locals charters fishing boat and never felt so awkward being on a fishing trip. read more

I used to take the Enterprise years ago, and found it to be a good experience. Post pandemic, it's just not the same. We went on a 3/4 day trip and it was just no good. First, the boat seems to be in worse shape. Bathroom doors and falling off hinges; kitchen doesn't even have a toaster. Crew: the deckhands were good. But damn that captain has such a bad attitude. Sighing over the intercom, yelling at fishers, also talking down on his crew. The crews at Newport and Ventura are very respectful and friendly. This place is just different. Lastly a word of caution: they do not report their fishing numbers, like the other landings. This past trip, maybe 4-5 people caught fish. Everyone else got skunked bad. But later that evening, they post pics as if there was a bounty. It's sad, because I used to look forward to fishing with them but I believe I'll have to go elsewhere. read more

This review is for the vessel Enterprise fishing Monday 9/7/2026. It's been years since I fished out of Pierpoint Landing. It was a last minute trip to book the Enterprise, however, the listing said 70 anglers max but when I got to the boat, they put 80 people. Parking was tough cause they only have spots in the main lot for 29 cars and the rest must go to the overflow lot. As for fishing, it was weird that we went 2 hours south to Newport instead of 2 hours towards Catalina. Fishing was tough as it was weird weather. We couldn't stay on top of bonito schools and the fish they were targeting, really couldn't find. Bait was also tough cause they saved it for fishing near the kelp beds but not until the afternoon. The landing as a whole will always hold a special place in my heart because one of my first ever overnight trips 30 plus years ago was on the Toranado. But this experience makes it tough for me to book again on the Enterprise read more

The review is for the small all-purpose retail shop located at Pierpoint Landing Courtyard. It was open on New Years Day, and I stopped in for an ice cream bar (the chest freezer was set super low so the ice cream was very solid, which I appreciated) and an Ito En jasmine iced tea bottle. Sun hats and bagged snacks were clearly visible. They also have frozen bait, 7 lbs ice, and an ATM. Credit cards are accepted but there is a $0.50 fee for purchases under $10, which the total of my two items did not reach. read more

I like it. Tables for eating. Lighthouse. Many people will look you in the eyes here and I return the gesture of humanity with a warm smile. At least I hope it is warm. Sometimes a smile can mean something not intended - so I usually opt for the upside down smile - but sometimes that looks like a secret happened. Great view of boats. I like to look at boats and pretend that each one is mine and I am letting everyone play with my boats. That way I don't get too mad when everything is going good. If you see me there - say hi and I can show you all of my boats. Thank you. read more

Pierpoint Landing - Memories - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

The deck staff needs to be more professional... your in the hospitality business you have to give that personable touch and assist !! I've been fishing the local waters in California for over 40 years and I worked deck on boats from San Diego to San Pedro and never in my wildest dreams would I have NEVER offered assistance in selecting the tackle for the size bait that was offered or the right way to rig up for the type of fishing for the day ahead it's called a tutorial captain you have a obligation to your clients !!! The only saving grace for the Boat was a deck hand on there named Josh his willingness to be there and interact was top notch other than that a complete bust !!!! No assistance no courtesy and non personable touched never use the Boat the Enterprise especially if your a novice read more

Went out on the Enterprise recently. Left at 6am. Went to pick up bait, there was none. So a local fishing boat came by and stocked with nearly full size mackerel. No sardines, no anchovies, bait was too big. Fished very few spots, with just a few minutes per spot. The boat spent more time cruising than actually fishing. The deck hands were not useful or friendly. The guy running the galley had resting bi×tch face and was really rude to folks. Like, asking for something was too much for him to do. None of the deck hands except the young kid was actually helping folks on the boat. Help was pretty much non existent. The boat decided to consume another hour or so to get fuel at towards the end of the day. All together, for a 3/4 day boat, we fished no more than 2 hours or so. The boat had 76 anglers on it, and that boat is rated for 70. Also, it was noticed that one of the deckhands tried to discard an undersized bass because fish and game was nearby. Pretty shady. I've been on public boats local to long beach, redondo and newport all my life and this one was by far the worse one. They could not blame el nino for this and should refund people for this boat ride. I don't know what happen to Pierpoint nor it's boats. BUT THEY NEED TO GET THEIR SH!T TOGETHER. read more

Never really had a problem at this landing but my son went fishing last Monday he left a real a newell 322 on the boat now no one seems to know where it is or they claim they haven't seen it the owners of these boats and the landing needs to talk to these deckhands that is just not good sportsmanship hopefully they'll come up with the reel. My son will be going back up there next Monday to talk to someone like I said hopefully they come up with it if not they will not get another good review from me. read more

Went on a 6 hour fishing trip with these guys. Everyone else was super cool but the guy that looks like Jonah Hill that was cleaning the fish at the end is not approachable or friendly at all. Went on two trips with Pierpoint and he can really turn a pretty good outing into a complete drag. read more

Had a amazing time on the enterprise. The office staff was a little rude in the morning but the crew on the enterprise made it all that much better. We had a great time catching all we wanted sand bass and the food was amazing. I would like to leave a huge thanks to the older gentleman driving the boat and too the younger guys out on deck and in the galley. read more

Avoid This Charter - Unprepared & Misleading I don't typically post negative reviews. Our ¾-day trip was a disaster from the start--no live bait at departure, just a small stash of frozen squid that ran out, forcing another boat to deliver more mid-trip. Live bait didn't appear until the last 30 minutes, clearly leftovers from earlier trips. The website says these trips go to Catalina, yet the crew admitted they haven't gone once all year. In addition, I was charged twice for food and drinks purchased in the galley as they stated it was split on their handwritten sheet. Poor planning, wasted time, and false advertising--spend your money elsewhere! read more

Sat Sep 10am - 4pm I settled on this company after much research: 60 spots on the "City of Long Beach". The counts here are higher, with the majority being sand bass, calico bass, barracuda. Communication was clear. I got three email reminders. The phone rings forever, but they responded to my email. Open toed shoes recommended. Can wear anything, but it can be simultaneously cold and hot. Pierpoint Landing 562-983-9300 200 Aquarium way, Long Beach CA 90802 Approx price: $100 ($65 for ticket, $20 fishing license, $17 rod, weights, hooks), not including cash for the boat (tip, cleaning fish ($2/fish), food ($8 for a banging cheeseburger)). Bait is included. Parking: From reviews it may be $3 to get a token for the lot. It is free if you have a friend nearby. Bring: sunblock, cash, Lysol, wet wipe Overall, it was a fun first fishing trip. The passengers were friendly and helpful. The crew was great and helpful. I had a tangle in my line and the crew helped me take it out. I had a scopolamine patch and was just fine. The cheeseburger was delicious. Each of us first timers caught several fish. Recommend! read more

Went out on the enterprise. Use to Like this boat a lot. I normally not into writing negative reviews, but the deck hands suck. Young dudes with negative attitudes, if you don't like your job, don't do it and find something else. You are in a customer service environment. I am a very understanding person, but I lost it when the young deck hand tossed back my fish when I knew it was legal. Enterprise your crew is everything. They represent you! read more

Fished on August 5th, 2023 on the Toronado overnight trip. I brought my 10yr old son with me for his first overnight fishing trip. We arrived at 7pm per the instructions to be there an hour before our scheduled departure time of 8pm. The boat didn't arrive until 830pm from another trip and we didn't get on the boat until after 9pm. Not the best start to the trip. Once we finally boarded the vessel, secured our gear and bed bunks, and paid for our fish bags and jackpot, we went up to the galley to grab a burger. The galley cook told me they didn't do that... they didn't make burgers to order outside of scheduled times. I thought that was really weird. The half day boats in San Diego even do this, cook you food to order as needed. I find it really bizarre that an overnight boat won't cook you something to order, especially when we admitted that we didn't get a chance to eat dinner before arriving at 7pm. Then we found out that the captain was going to chase bluefin tuna, which wasn't something we wanted to chase. We thought we'd be going to San Clemente Island, Catalina or Tanner/ Cortez Banks to fish in known good spots. Instead we spent the entire trip fishing and searching for Bluefin, with not 1 of the 28 anglers on board have even so much as a bite. In between all the random stops for fishing (which was way more riding the boat than actual fishing) I went back to bed for a couple hrs. I was back up at 830am to fish again, my son still sleeping off being sea sick. I was told breakfast already came and went by 830am and I could no longer get eggs or a brkfst burrito, etc. What boat ends breakfast at 8am? Again we spent literal hours driving around and fishing for 5-10 minutes and nothing. No fish, no bites. In between we couldn't order anything to eat. Finally around 1130am the cook guy started cooking burgers to order. We ordered them, the sides included macaroni and potato salad from a giant carton. They were terrible. Burger was not very good. The cook was honestly horrible at customer service and not even what I would call a cook. After 11am or so, the captain, Ray decided to head back home from this massive boat ride and stopped maybe 5-6 more times on tiny little floating kelp paddies letting us fish less than 5 minutes per stop. That was our whole trip. Not 1 person on the boat caught anything, not even the deck hands. I was extremely disappointed in this crew, this captain and the whole experience. I noticed that the boat conveniently did not even post a fish count for August 5th. They don't tell you when they DON'T CATCH FISH. read more

Pierpoint Landing - Pierpont Landing building - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

We love fishing with Pierpoint. My son and I have fished with a few different charters along the LA OC coast, and we think Pierpoint is the best. Compared to places like 22nd street landing, they are far more respectful and kid friendly. Prices continue to go up, and the food in the galley is just ok. But otherwise, we like fishing with them. read more

Pierpoint Landing - My son enjoying the sun deck as a winner - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

I have a lot thing to say about the enterprise boat. It was a waste of my time on a 10 hr trip. The captain had us around the half day boats for 10hrs. I asked him are we going to Catalina and he said no, there's no bass and no body is catching nothing over there. Then I seen the reports about Catalina yesterday and it was on fire. Then we had a really good barracuda, bass bite then he leaves and goes to a spot for 3 hrs and didn't catch shit. Never gauging on this boat. I'm telling everyone that it's a waste of money and 10hr for fishing local waters. Also the deck hands are horrible never clean the deck dead bait was everywhere people are slipping. And never hose down the deck while moving to different spots. I been so many boats and this is the worse one ever read more

I went out fishing on 9/3/2022 saturday. It was an amazing fishing experience. I went out 3/4 day special on city of long beach boat and caught many dorados, Mahi, A.K.A dolphin Fish.

Been fishing for 14years, fished every local landing at least once, this one by far, has always been my go-to. 1) Price. We all know the boats all fish the same exact spots. If you can't put two and 2 together to figure out why you see the other boats from the other landings passing by, then I don't know what else to tell you. They are all on the radio talking to each other to get their share for fish counts. So don't give me that BS saying the other landings are better. I still have yet to see another landing beat their prices for trips. 2) Crew. Whether you go on the long range boats, or the short 1/2 day trips, all of them, by far, have an exceptional crew and deckhands. They're always ready to help and ready to get you on the bite. 3) ASK FOR HELP. The crew does a good job at helping if you aren't one of those types that gets butthurt when you make a mistake. It's called fishing, not catching. Takes a lot of practice and experience to understand what to do in situations so if you absolutely need the help, ASK. Don't be that person that complains about not catching anything when you decided to not bring the right gear in the first place. Always, ALWAYS, ASK if you're not sure what to bring or what to expect to better prepare for the trip. Here's everything you'll need; simplified: 1) Bottom Fishing Set-Up: - 7-8ft medium-medium/heavy pole - 65lb Braid and a 2ft. top shot of 20lb.-30lb. Mono or Fluoro. - Size 1, 2, 1/O, 2/O, and 3/O Hooks. Circle hooks are fine too. It's your preference. - 3/4oz and 1oz lead heads - Any variation of white, red, anchovie, sardine, orange plastic swim baits to use with your lead heads. - 8oz, 10oz, and 12oz Torpedo Sinkers. 2) Surface Fishing Set-Ups (2 Rods): - Jig Stick: 9ft or 10ft; your preference. Set it with a 30-40 size casting reel, spinner or conventional, totally up to you; 65lb braid and anywhere between 30-40lb mono or fluoro top shot. Invest in some surface irons, flat falls, colt snipers, and buck tails. Anything shiny/chrome, MINT, Scrambled Egg, Classic Blue and White, this will be your go-to rod ready with a jig to throw. - Flyline Stick: Anywhere from 7ft-10ft; your preference. Recommend something that can at least bend with 40-50lbs+ Rod Rating. 20-40 size casting reel. Again, all preference, can be spinning or conventional it really doesn't matter. I prefer the 20-30 size reels. They are perfect to use for this set up, paired with 65lb braid and 25-40lb mono or fluoro top shot. Totally up to you on what you want to go with here: - Size 1, 2, 4, 1/O, 2/O, 3/O, and 4/O Hooks; circle hooks are fine. Doesn't matter because it's your call on which one you get from the tackle shop. Rule of thumb is to get the small multipack unless you do fish a lot. No need to have 20+ hooks lol. - 1/8oz, 1/4oz, 3/4oz, egg sinkers; for bass fishing or if there's some current that's making it hard for baits to swim down past the seals. - 4oz and 6oz torpedo sinkers 3) FISHING LICENSE; no ifs, ands, or buts. They sell em there at the landing and optional if you want to purchase the annual license VS the day license. 4) Pocket Cash. It's cash only for food, drinks, fish cleaning, Jackpot, and Gunnysacks. (Bring $100 and break it into smaller bills BEFORE coming down. Again, DON'T BE THAT PERSON. Come prepared. 5) Dikes, Pliers, Cutters, whatever you wanna call em, you'll need them. 6) Sunblock 7) Hand Towel(s) for obvious reasons 8) Hand Sanitizer, Hand Wipes, whatever helps you stay clean. 9) For the ladies, heads up, I recommend a little bottle of lysol or disinfecting wipes for the restroom. I can't speak for everyone else, but there may be some dirty ass men and women on board. So if you just want to be safe, strongly recommend bringing this. 10) Good Vibes. read more

So we really wanted to do sportfishing we never done it before! We're debating between Orange County or Long Beach. As I was reading the reviews they weren't that well so I said you know what let's check the place out. Everyone on the boat were amazing and even people that were fishing. They're very helpful. I do recommend getting there at least an hour early so you know that you have the right fishing rods and you have to have a fishing license and parking! The food on the boat was good. We got a BLT and a hamburger it was good. They also have great selection of snacks and drinks. Make sure to bring cash in the boat. You have to buy a sack for 3.00 that's a must. We didn't do the jackpot but my daughter caught a big red snapper! So proud of her! Anyhow. We will definitely be back! Oh it is a six hour day an hour and a half getting there fishing for about two hours and then an hour and a half going back. But the views and everything were nice! We also got to see an amazing show with the dolphins, but the sea lions kept eating the fish so we had to keep moving spots! Also try to be alone in a spot because the the wires got mixed up with people when they're too close. read more

Crew always very helpful. Wish they could have both cut bail (squid) and live bait, but seems they mostly have cut squid. Quick at cleaning fish, but wish they would gut & head fish and cut off spines on sculpin( other ports do). Always have gotten near limits on half day boat. Food is always great & cold beer. They tend to be a little pushy when it comes to jackpot option with respect to payoff ( they push excepting free ticket over cash payout) (They seem to demand a 25% payback if you except the cash payout, which in not mentioned when you pay-in for the jackpot at beginning of trip). As long as you are aware of these hiccups, you should have a good time. read more

I had reserved spots for 10 of my employees, on the day before my trip they called and left a message that the boat was broken. They said to call them by noon to schedule on another day, but less they 2 hours later I got an email that they refunded my payment. One of my guys called to inquire about the trip and they told him the boat was chartered for the day by a private party. It seems since the trip was not full they had someone willing to pay more money so they dumped the 28 people and took the charter money. This was some of the poorest business I have been involved with ever. I will not be doing business here ever again and I suggest that you don't either. read more

This was my first time deep sea fishing and they "Pier Point Landing" did NOT disappoint by any means. I went out on a 1/2 day boat "City Of Long Beach" and once we stopped that captain put us on a good spot and within 3 minutes I had a nice sand bass and a few more which were delicious!! We moved to another spot later on where he put us on some Sculpin and once again... within minutes the entire boat was hooking up and catching fish!! The deck hands were AWESOME!! They rigged my rod for every setup needed the entire trip and gave me advise and assisted me throughout the whole time we were fishing. Great experience... reasonable pricing, cheap parking (Spots 1- 29) rod rental and tackle was about $30.... It was a great trip all around! Wyatt & Earl rock!! So helpful and willing to help anyone who needed assistance. read more

This review goes towards the deckhands/crew for the City of Long Beach. I went on a half day AM trip on a Saturday with two of my friends and the service couldn't have been better. As soon as we got on the boat we were greeted by the deckhands and was offered assistance in getting our rods set-up. There were plenty of deckhands on board so you won't have to worry never getting help. The two junior deckhands Justin and Cole we're extremely active and always moving around the boat to check if anyone is in need of assistance. Their fish count was pretty accurate too. I don't think they count every single fish but they give a general estimate of how much fish has been caught which is pretty fair. I know this because they didn't include the Red Snapper my friend caught as well as a couple of White Fish a group next to me caught. All in all, me and my friends had a great time/experience and were extremely satisfied with the service provided by the City of Long Beach. read more

Pierpoint Landing - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

We went deep sea fishing for the first time, and really enjoyed our experience. Our two boys had a blast! Everyone was so kind and helpful. All the deckhands had so much knowledge and took the time to help get our rods setup and help untangle lines. Earl made some delicious food in the galley and Wyatt got our fish all cleaned. It was wonderful experience. We have never been deep sea fishing before, and got the rental rods, and I was a little nervous when I saw most of the people on our boat were boarding with their own poles and looked like pros, but the deckhands took the time to help get us ready to go and we were fishing with the pros in no time. Bring cash- for tips (seriously, don't be cheap, tip these guys- they work so hard), and for food and drinks on board, and for your fish bag/lottery, and fish cleaning ($2 per fish). We really had a great time as a family. Thank you for a great day of fishing! read more

Pierpoint Landing - What we caught - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

I started coming here in November 2022 and I have to say it's addicting to come back regardless of what kind of fishing they're doing. From shallow water rockfish/white fishing, to sculpin/sandbass fishing, and now to sculpin/ rock fishing. It's been a great time every time these past 6 or so months. Earl in the galley always cooking up the dankest food and he's always really helpful unhooking fish for you. Bobby always keeping the deck on lock helping out whenever you need it. Currently the boat is doing rock fishing and sculpin fishing. As for rock fishing you want to bring a reel that you comfortably know holds 400 feet of line at least, as well as some 10-12 oz sinkers and some size 2 or size 4 hooks. For sculpin fishing you're going to want to bring some 1-2 oz lead heads as well as 5+ inch soft plastic baits and some 8-10 oz sinkers. Any kind of soft bait will do pretty much, you just want a bigger profile to avoid hooking too many short fish. I personally recommend any variation of a red color bait. It helps out if the bait has a curly tail or appendages like tentacles on them too. The boat will have cut squid for you to bait up your plastics as well. The picture below is just an example of the kind of fishing your group will have all the time. You will not be disappointed. read more

Pierpoint Landing - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

Scam beware!!! The crew will try and befriend you while fishing. Come time to clean the fish they will deliberately not tell you the fishing cleaning fee. They will clean all your fish then at the end tell you that you have to pay them before leaving the boat. We had got over 30 fish and not 1 time did they mention that the fee was 3.00 dollars (Per) fish. After making jokes to keep me oblivious while cleaning all my fish he told me I had to pay over 100 dollars if I wanted to leave the boat with the fish i caught. I came with a small group who each also caught 20 plus fish and where completely blind sided when we had to all pay more that what the actual fishing trip cost in just cleaning fees. I mentioned how we felt taken advantage of . He stated well you never asked. I stated well you also never displayed or stated a cleaning fee price. He just shrugged his shoulders and told me i still had to pay either with cash or zelle or i couldn't keep my fish. As a customer I think this is a big key point to bring up. Especially if someone wasn't financially ready. Staff became un friendly as soon as I brought up the concern. Staff on the (Enterprise) Ruined our whole day. No price for cleaning posted anywhere on the fishing boat Nor their website. Almost felt like he just made that price up. Definitely not coming back just because of how taken advantage of we felt. FYI they also advertise on their website the 3/4 trip goes near and around Catalina Island. We went No where near Catalina Island. When asked about it ,crew mate said "that's way over there and we are not going. Cleaning SCAM beware. Stay safe Gents. read more

Lack of professionalism and poor customer service of two crew members aboard the Enterprise. On Sunday, 7/3, it was a perfect day for fishing. I had caught the limit of sculpin and a few bonito. Unfortunately, I didn't catch a yellowtail as planned but that's the nature of the game. Towards the end of the trip, I was getting ready to pack and realized several of my gear, hooks and sinkers were missing. Also, the sack #11 assigned, I had placed my fish in was missing as well. I had approached a staff member, a young male (husky, long curly hair and wearing a blue LA Dodger hat) to report my sack and a few of my tackles missing. Young male shrugged his shoulders, replied "eh....go tell some other deckhands." A few seconds later, the cook called out my name to close my tab. I had advised him of my items missing and he replied "well nobody has left the boat yet so go look for it yourself." I then asked if he would help, his response was "I dont have GPS on your belongings." I was appalled at his response and said "I can see you and everyone else don't care." he quickly responded "I care as much as you do, if you dont give a fuck then i dont give a fuck" and laughed. No compassion and sympathy. All I asked was for a little help. At least an attempt would suffice. If the tackles and fishes I caught couldn't be found they could have offered a few fish the staff had caught. I would've paid to have them gutted or fillet. I'm sure someone had accidently grabbed my sack, thinking they had the same number as I. It's very common, I see it all the time on other trips. This is the first time I've been back to Pier Point since the pandemic. Recently, I have been fishing out of 22nd Street Landing or Redondo Special but thought I'd switch it up back to Pier Point. After this experience, I won't be purchasing any trips and will be advising all, family and friends. read more

Went out on the 1/2 day on the City of Long Beach. Only bottom fishing for Sculpin and Rockfish but that's okay. I took my kid out for her first time. Crew and galley were helpful. Not too many rod holders so don't bring extra poles if you don't have to. You have to lean your rod against the rail. Lots of novice fishermen including myself so there were some tangles. Tip-call the landing ahead of time and get the recommendation for tackle for the trip. You don't want to be that guy without the proper equipment even if you're renting your rod. I was a bit disappointed that we used cut bait of anchovies, squid and mackerel. Caught plenty of sculpin but threw back 2 for every 1 keeper. Like I said earlier, crew was patient and very helpful. The guy in the galley doing all the cooking was great. I've had good luck at Pierpoint and it's easy to park. read more

Pierpoint Landing - Lies of fish repot - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

This review is for the Enterprise , Captain Andy (I think that was his name) and his crew! It was my first time on the charters and overall it was a really fun experience, and I would definitely go again! First off, the captain I was with does do a lot of driving around. The first 2-3 hours was mostly driving, and the very first couple spots we made were very brief, some with more bites than others made of calico, sculpin and sheep heads. Fish were still biting, but the minute the captain announces he's gonna move, he starts moving!!! He does not wait, so you gotta reel your line in as fast as you can. It was coming towards the last few hours and if the fishing trip ended there, I would've been upset because before starting I was told by the crew we were fishing for yellowtail and surely there were none yet. But the last stop we made surely fulfilled the promise of yellowtail because they came and were biting like crazy!! It was definitely the longest stop of all the ones we made, and the captain even STAYED BACK LONGER than scheduled so everybody could catch some yellowtail. So what I got from him driving around is that HES LOOKIG FOR THE GOOD FISH!!! and if the good fish are there, he will stay! The crew members were also very sweet and helpful each time I needed help, and even offered me tips and reassurance!! For a small fee they will also gut and fillet the fish for you!! So two thumbs up for them !! If you're going for a whole day and are a germaphobe, bring your own food!! The area they serve food is a little messy, but to be honest when you're out there for a whole day in the sun, a hot patty melt is nothing short from satisfying !!! Also it's on a fishing boat so don't expect 5 star quality!! So to sum it up, even though there was a lot more driving around than I expected, I had a great time, met some great fishers, and can't wait to go again!!! If you don't like the idea of driving around most of the time, (I was told) the other captain spends more time in one spot! So if there are a lot of bites great , but if there are no bites then you're sitting in the middle of the ocean waiting for fish! So take your pick and decide which captain better for you! Just call in to see who's gonna be on for the day read more

Pierpoint Landing - Turned my yellow tails into dinner :p - Fishing Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

We went out on the City of Long Beach and it was such a good time. The ship hands and captain were great. I have been on others ships out of San Pedro and those dudes were completely rude and no pricing on the on deck food. These guys were willing to help anytime you needed them within reason because other people needed help as well. Now this is no Disneyland experience, this is real sea fishing with real dangers. As long as you listen to the deck hands and follow instructions you will have a great time. I would recommend kids from the ages of 8 and up. Any younger they will get whinney or sea sick. We caught so many fish it was amazing. They have tons of life jackets on board if you need them. Definitely check this place out. read more

You guys should really think about getting a new front desk crew. Every other place is generous and happy to see customers. Not this place, gals seem irritated every morning. Landing is definitely going down. Just a matter of time before this place goes under. Too bad. Really great captains. Rather drive the few extra miles to 22nd or Berth 55. read more

Bad service. The cook charged me $55 instead of $35. When I pointed it out, he said "Fine, just pay me $35." After, I gave him 2 $20 bills, he wouldn't give me the $5 change. read more

Half day trip AM. Very disappointed, this should be more for kids & families. Wrong, the deck hands kept bumping into my kids, instead of helping on the boat. They where fishing, getting in other peoples space. I would have thought they'd be more helpful. Then the gallery was worse! The cook was rude, & had dirty hands! Very dissatisfied! read more

Someone better wake up here you are not the only game in town. The staff in the office The absolutely friendly young lady in the morning checking you in has really got to go what a black eye for this landing screwed my friends over at 5:45 we were on the boat and she would not let them board for god sakes we did not even leave the dock yet "5:45 really" You guys suck and are going down fast. I haven't fished out of this dock in years I came back to real disappointment. f I don't like it I don't have to fish here..... ABSOLUTELY! "AND I KNOW IT" YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS I WILL NOT EVER!!!!! THANKS PIERPOINT FOR A SHITTY TRIP WITH ATTITUDE. read more

July 22, 2022 deep sea fishing on the Enterprise to San Pedro Bay (SPB). Plan A was tuna and Catalina. Without anchovies and only sardines for live bait this turned into Plan B "make-the-most-of-it" in SPB. Except: Young deckhands were rude but useful, *nothing* the Captain said over the intercom was intelligible, and the entire party was taken for a fuel stop and 2,000 gallons of diesel for the last 2.5 hours of "fishing". When I asked the skipper if he always brought clients for a fuel stop he said it was my lucky day. Add pretty drunk, sloppy, and profane fishermen - not the best for our young people learning to enjoy a deep sea outing. read more
