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

Headed out to DP to see what's going on. Water had a lot of debris floating around and was a bit muddy near the mouth of the harbor. At 7:30 there was no wind, the water was lumpy but smooth. Bait was a mix of anchovies and sardines, mostly anchovies, but they were in good condition.

Headed north to just past the point and fished some of the structure in about 45'. Lots of mackerel, hard to get a bait past them. did manage a small sandy and something much larger that broke my 15# line, grrrrr.

Wind picked up so I headed back towards the pipeline, nada, and it got a tad rough so I decided to call it a day. Caught a couple of short bass then called it a day.
