Slow day at Dana
 

I headed out of Dana Point harbor at first light this morning, picked up some lively bait at the barge and headed out to the boiler rocks. It was a washing machine peddle out with no one around for first two hours. The seals followed me from the harbor opening to the buoy by the boiler rocks at the point and wouldn't leave my bait alone. I've never seen so many seals and I couldn't get them to leave. Any tips for legally getting them away from you?

Caught a couple small calicos on new Reeb jig, and a mac on a squid iron at boilers. Fished the harbor for a couple hours before noon and missed a big hit on my dine while throwing plastics. Slow day fishing but sure beats a day in e office. Hoping the halibut bite heats up soon.

Yeah, a lot of water moving 3-5 ft swell. I went down to the capo area to surf fish. Wishful thinking. Big waves and a lot of salad in the water, but it did feel warmer!


Thanks for sharing. For dana, catching anything is a good day. :D

Thanks for the report. I plan to hit Dana on Sunday, along with about 4 dozen sailboats I'd guess. Hopefully the wind stays down.

was out there today on the water around 10 off at 4ish nothing to report...

Josh, it was nice meeting you on the water..hopefully we'll have better luck next time..

Yeah, slow day at Dana Point.
