Pacific Coast Angelausflüge

Expect to catch good amounts of smaller fish. Big fish a few this time of year. Still a good time!

We volume fished for Rockfish. Not a lot of fight but a lot of catch. We were pulling fish out after most of the casts. This gave those in our group that didn’t fish a chance to partake in the experience by preparing/ eating catch. Other fish may give more fight but fewer catches. Angler’s choice.

This boat was fantastic for first time fisherman Gavin was on top of everything and took care of us. We can’t wait to come back.

Dana Point is a beautiful harbor, short ride to get to the fishing grounds and plenty of action! Highly recommend these guys

Plan on at least 4 hrs and patience and persistence! The Captain make the trip- catching fish is a bonus! Enjoy the ride!

Bring a jacket it can get a little chilly! And don’t forget your sunglasses! :)

Be flexible and listen to your captain/guide. If you want to target a specific species you. A but run the risk of not catching anything. The captain will know what is and is not biting. If they make a suggestion I would listen because they want to put you in position to catch some fish and have some fun. So talk to them and make a game plan before your trip and take their advice into consideration and you will make some great memories just like I did!!!

I don’t know much about it but we had a ton of fun and saw some tuna but they just weren’t biting

The fish we caught were fillet by the first mate. They were absolutely delicious. Thank you so much.

Not as good fishing conditions as other months, but you can still catch fish. We weren’t able to catch any fish from the dock on Bethel Island where we were staying but much of that was limited by stormy weather. On a bass charter we were able to catch 1 largemouth bass and 1 striped bass. In February fishing is OK but not as good as spring and summer.

It was perfect for catching a variety of 10 to 20 inch fish, my first time fishing off shore in 20 years

Give your self extra time as the shop is small and takes a little time to get your license

Don't hesitate to ask Matt any questions you've got, but don't have unrealistic expectations. Sometimes the fish don't bite, but most of the time they bite a whole lot!

Be patient, be adaptable, follow TC's lead, ask questions, above all relax and have fun. Development of angling skills takes time. It's not an overnight success. If you are serious, jot down notes if you need to.

If you have never been on a boat follow the Captain’s recommendation about motion sickness prevention. Tons of different fish species to catch.

Weather was perfect for a T shirt and jeans or a lightweight sweater. 10 out 10 would recommend

Get upstanding about parking and the time you need to be so that you are not to early

A nice captain and a well run boat BUT the captain is a chain smoker and in the confines of the forward cabin we found that a MAJOR problem.

Action was good but not being able to keep Rockfish in October caught inshore is kind of bummer. But this charter did well to put us on keeper fish (whitefish) so still fun!

Layers of clothes. Process matters - keep an open mind. Bluefin is a little risky, but very satisfying.
