Friday

Looks like, after waaaaay too long, I get to get on the water this Friday the 27th. Anyone looking for company? Thinking Cabrillo or Dana. More familiar with Cabrillo, but willing to hit somewhere else. Launch around 6:30 or so?

Anyone else planning on getting out?

Very cool. If you don't mind me tagging along & learning a bit about Dana. I was planning on stopping by OEX afterward to drop off the kayak to become part of the HoW fleet.

Dana Launch Intel

Been a long time since I have been to Dana Point. Looking to go out of the boat ramp, which I have not done before. What's the scoop? $10, smooth bills I got. What's the bait situation & cost? Head North or South? Not looking for secret spots, just enough to get me in the right direction smoothly tomorrow morning. Enter off Embarcadero or Golden Lantern?

Thanks!

It costs $10 to do the boat launch. Machine takes $5 and $10 bills.

Bait is $10 for a kayak scoop, plus a tip. Right now the bait is a mix of everything (50% chovies, the other 50% is a mix of greenbacks, sardines and Spanish). Bait is very cured and healthy.

If you want to skip a scoop, there is also a good amount of bait to be made inside and outside the harbor. Good size smelt around the bait dock, and nice greenbacks and Spanish north of the harbor near the kelp.

If I were going out, I'd head out to the pipe, or North toward the headlands. Pipe is easy to find right now, due to all the buoys. I got about a 30lber in about 70 feet earlier this week on a greenback, so the fish are out there.

Good luck
