Dana point offshore report 9/6
Kept making our way out and ran into birds diving here and there but only to leave the area rather quickly. Stopped on quite a few paddies but no one home on anything besides bait. And lots of it. Gave a couple paddies the long soak and a couple pieces of chum. No boilers, nada. We hit the 7.5 mile mark pretty quick and decided to make a turn to the north around 10am. More paddies, more nada. Around noon we decided to make the turn back towards shore. We stopped on some of the nicest paddies on the way in thinking, this thing is too big and too good to not have fish under it. But same thing, nobody. We hit a large pod of porpoise and were hoping there would be some YFT mixed in but no biters. When we came back inshore, ended up a bit north of salt creek. Drug around for halibut for a little bit. Had a couple serious raked baits and I dont think I will ever send a bait to the bottom without a trap hook again. Over to headlands kelp around 2pm and drifted almost all the way back to the harbor before we decided to call it. Put in around 20 miles maybe a little more OTW and it really wasn't too bad actually. I think my next trip out will be an offshore one as well as I enjoy the open ocean more than being next to land. |

I tried on friday, plenty of bones but nothing else. I did get on one paddy that had at least 300 six inch yellowtail under. I may have to bring my 6 weight fly rod next time and then after catching and releasing 50 tell everyone I am the greatest yellowtail fisherman of all time

Was there yesterday, Bones all over. Also had a school of small WSB pass through and take a bait or two.
Oh yeah, got followed by a large HH at the pipeline around the 60-70ft zone.
