Left Coast Sportfishing Dana Point

Dana Point, United States
10+ reviews
Born and raised in the harbor family owned a boat, I fell in love with the ocean early on. Whether it was fishing, surfing, diving, sailing, tide pooling or boating, I tried everything I could get my hands on. This led me to work at local sportfishing companies and aquariums while in high school. After graduating from Dana Hills High School in 2008, I went to school for Marine Fisheries Biology and completed my degree in 2013. I fished commercially for Dungeness crab out of San Francisco for a season and that gave me great respect for the work that goes into commercial fishing and the power the ocean has. I love sharing the knowledge I've gained throughout my life in and on the water. This knowledge can hopefully help other people come to a better understanding of the ocean and the world around us.

    Best trip!

    10 Hour Trip - Catalina • 2 adults

    We had an amazing experience with Left Coast Fishing! From start to finish, everything was professional, organized, and so much fun. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great time, whether you were experienced or brand new to fishing. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. They worked hard to get us on the fish, and we ended up having a fantastic day on the water. You can really tell they care about their customers and want everyone to have a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a fun fishing trip with an awesome crew, I highly recommend Left Coast Fishing. We’ll definitely be booking another trip!
