Dana point fishing trip Group-on ($25/5hr - $33/9hr) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Not to be a downer but just a heads-up. Me and my friend took advantage of this groupon a couple of months ago. We were put on a boat the Dana Pride with 80 other fisherman. We only went a few miles out and sat on a kelp bed holding minimal fish for the whole day. It was the first time in my I stopped fishing and went inside to watch sportscenter instead. So many tangles, amateurs and lame fish I will never do this again. Cheap price, but you definitely sacrifice the fishing adventure for it, if there is any actual fishing involved. I just wanted to go home, will never do again. Just my 2 cents.

Have a few of these from the last time they offered the special...was gonna use one this sunday but they currently have 80 people booked for the Pride...gonna yak instead...key is go during the week. Today they had 30 people on the sum fun for the 3/4 and only 26 on the Pride for the halfer. Got a local yeller on the Prides 1/2 day. 10 pounder. Been doing a lot of Rockfish fishing with the recent red tides and putting almost limits on the boat the last few days. But like i said...go during the week or your gonna be bummed. 100 people on one boat is just stupid.

oh and dont do it on Tuesday as its 2for1 so its usually to crowded...boat goes 6-3ish and typically goes south to the Domes. 48 hour advanced booking is what gets ya as you dont get the best idea of how many people will be on the boat till the night before so your stuck
