Anyone fish Dana Point lately? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thinking about heading out. How's mother nature been treating DP? Swells, wind, water and air temp...blah, blah.
Oh, and have you seen any fish out there?

I was out there on Tues. Good bait situation. Jumbo dines in a lot of areas. I had some fresh dead squirts with me and got all the sandies and calicos I could want on the squeed. Managed 2 smalibuts, but no keepers on dines. Fished from the point to the Ritz. DFG was out there and checked me for the first time in 8 years.

Water is very warm and loaded with jellies and salp.

Good Luck

Thanks for all the info rossman...when you say you fished from the point to the ritz..where exactly is that? We normally head north and fish the kelp.

My Sonar/GPS is in for repair so I couldn't hit my normal reefs and rockpiles, so I worked the edge of the kelp from the whistler buoy up the line to the Ritz Charlton
