Fishing Dana Point

[Elmo]

I'm planning on hitting Dana for the first time tomorrow.:kayak-surfer:
Any tips, pointers or suggestions would be awsome.
Thanks.:luxhello:

If you are staying inside, do your fishing around the bait barge. If you are interested in the halibut, head south to the river mouth. There are usually some people over there, so fish in the same general area as where they are. If you are interested in bass, head north to the kelp off the point.

Good luck and put up a post to let us know how it went.

Not a good weekend to try Dana... I was out today - fishing wasn't too good and the stink-boaters were everywhere. I think the more money people have the less courtesy they have. A lot of excess speed in the harbor, some close calls, and people generally in too much of a hurry (to get to Catalina?). Alot of boats tied up near baby beach, getting ready for a three day Memorial Day party, and generally not knowing what the hell they were doing. Almost had a run-in with a sailboater ("Lazy Daze"?) under power who was obviously in a hurry to get somewhere and nearly capsized me with his wake... :mad:

"I think the more money people have the less courtesy they have."

That statement hits the nail on the head. Especially for Dana Point.
Beside being a toilet, there are way too many idiots there.
