Late Dana Pt. Report 1/14 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

GregAndrew · 01-24-2017, 08:04 PM

Went down to Dana on 1/14 after seeing a few fish being caught. Made an nice variety of Greenbacks early, but they were all over the area I ended up fishing anyway. Lots of action, but most of it was on Soupfin sharks that were tearing up my leaders. Just about gave up after I lost the 3rd leader, but decided to tie one more on since my buddy already had a nice fish. Glad I did, cause it earned me a 46" 37#er.

That second picture is worthy of being framed. Sweet catch!!

Monster halibut! way to go, Greg. That's the biggest one caught by a kayaker that I have heard of at Dana Pt. My PR is 42" and I've been hunting them once a week for over 10yrs at Dana Point. I will be going out on Thurs to look for her twin sister. Thanks for report and pics. Congrats!

So rad! I have been seeing on BD that the private boaters have been having some luck out there since the new year. Been meaning to carve out some time to get out there. Kicking myself for not after seeing this. Nice job!

Nice fish Greg. A lot of guys will be following you this weekend.

Wayne, I have to hand Julie (Aaron&Julie on this website) that honor as she caught the women's 16lb. line class record back in '06 at 46.1 pounds off Doheny.

She backed that catch up with another 40 pounder the same day.

I stand corrected. I had seen this report of catch that occurred a few years before I started k fishing. I thought it was 46" instead of 46 pounds but didn't remember. Julie is definitely da wo-MAN!
