Dana Point this Monday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was just out of DP on Saturday. If it stays similar to what it was then you should try somewhere else. There's fish around, but the bait situation was crazy. Billions of mackerel everywhere, took me about 30 seconds to fill the bait tank near the breakwall. In 70' of water over the pipe there was mackerel from 10' down to 50' solid. In 120' looking into the water was like looking into a snowglobe at times, just sparkles everywhere from the macs with them crashing the surface at times. I'm pretty sure any game fish around was stuffed full of macs. Dropping a mac down into a school of a billion others is obviously pointless. I heard similar reports from others that went towards the headlands.

Unless of course you are targeting mackerel, then DP is where to go!
