Nice day at DP 8/15
Busy day at Dana Point today! Started out kind of crappy. Got a late start. FF wouldn't stay on. Livewell was acting up. Boat traffic was crazy. But I stuck to the plan anyway and went out off the point north of the buoy. Water temps (according to my buddy) were 70-71. Almost no wind or current most of the morning. Water was nice and clear. Calico were biting immediately on the first go. Ended up with a fun variety of fish and my buddy even ended up with a WSB that was just under size. Watched it hook up 10 feet under my kayak so that was cool. Lots of bites that didn't stick. A few really good ones too. Cormorants were out in force today though. Any time they came by, I swapped from live sardines to drifting frozen squid since the birds only wanted my fish and couldn't care less about squid.
Totals Calico: 20+ (biggest was 17" today) Bonita: 4 Barracuda: 4 Jumbo Macs: Too many My buddy Calico: A bunch Bonita: A couple Barracuda: A few Cormorant: 2 Rock structure: 1 WSB: 1 Everything was catch and release |

It’s good to see that you picked up a nice variety up off the point. Nice Calico!
The water was warm today but there wasn’t much of a tide swing. We went straight out to the pipe and barber poles And a few reefs in between for pretty much of a nonexistent bite. We had less than a handful of bass between two guys but you could see lots of fish all over the water column. We’ll see what next week brings. |
