What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Dana Point, California for the first time?

Hit up captain conor, and book a full day. Half a day is definitely not enough time because it goes by quicker than you think.

Book now and stop looking! Yeah his is the trip. Took my two boys on their first trip and we caught 30+ fish!

Call Steven at rockin reel if you really want to catch fish. Steven worked hard for us and put us on fish all day. Great guy that knows what he's doing.

Easy to find lots of parking, clean rest rooms(!), vending machine, and cheap ice vending machine, nice harbor in, and out access. Bases are pretty much there for you.

Learn the equipment you'll be using before you leave the dock. Don't try and figure out a complicated reel set up without asking questions first.

Dana Point is a beautiful harbor with all the amenities and not too crowded! If you're going for your first time, make sure to look up Rocken Locken, He has knows the spots!

They made the whole event simple from planning, getting ready and the trip itself! Followed up to ensure that they had everything they needed to have a great experience.

It is a beautiful place, I had never been too! I plan to go back and explore the shore soon!

Maybe it was a bit too cool yet. Another 5 degrees probably would have helped the dishing.

Weather can be cool and wet, not necessarily what one envisions for southern California.
