Fresh Dana Point Fishing Reports

A bunch of Calico Bass, 40 lb Black Sea Bass-released successfully and a nice Mako Shark today on a 3 hour charter! 3 high school young men and the birthday boys dad. Beginners lit it up...lots of high fives. The bass wore them out trading off the pole- the tug is the drug!

80-200 Bluefin Tuna and 25-70 pound Yellowfin Tuna have been swarming our local front yard for weeks. They have come as close as 2 miles out and have been abundant 7- 14 mikes out. Their is a possibility to land these fish on a short trip if they are close- ever day is different. Our 5 hour trips give us a better chance- we can cover more ground. The fish are boiling in hudge schools some days, smaller wolf packs up and down on others and of course ..well...some days scarce or none to be seen. You gotta find them, get them to bit then the real challenge..get them to the boat!

My nephews came out from Texas with only two big coolers to take fish back to their fire stations. They are both lieutenants. They got the fight of their life. Fought the beast until 4 am. Hours of cleaning fish at Doheny under my motorhome canopy. Filled four hudge coolers and took home a jaw estimated to be worth upwards of $$$. Filled my entire commercial freezer to chill it before their drive home. Tons of work.

Water temperatures are nearing 75 degrees and we have entered the awaited EL NINO! The off shore Paddys are holding big fish and it is getting better and better every day. Blue Fin Tuna in the 100lb class, big Dorado and Yellowtail, Marlin, Mako's and Yellowfin Tuna are sometimes only a few miles out! We have been seeing an Abundace of these large sportfish only 12 miles straight out of the harbor and at the 14 mile bank only 18 miles from the dock. Now is the time and RockenReel is ready to Roll. Five to Eleven hour trips allow us enough time to put you on the targeted spots however on the right day even a two hour trip can land you a beast. Mako sharks are your best bet for a shorter trip- they are right here in our back yard only a half mile out and its mako time RockenReel Sportfishing is skaying them right now. We are fortunate to have a dropboff from 500 feet deep to almost 2000 feet deep only 2.5 miles out RIGHT in FRONT of Dana Point Harbor only a ten minute journey from the boat slips, giving your charter a chance at landing all these BIG Sportfish at what we call the ridge. Good luck and good fishing my friends! DA A piint is most definitely the best place ti fish locally...ask anyone. This is because Salt Creek and tve Point are only five minutes from tve harbor and all the structure and kelp hold an abundace of fish waiting to be caught. RockenReel Sportfishing has a large luxury yacht and a fishing machine Off Shore Scarab so you have choices. Safty first, fishi g second and always GOOD TIMES my friends. Our 5 STAR reviews speak volumes. Please, come check us out...you will not be disappinted.

We are 5 for 5 and going strong on the fierce and furious MIGHTY MAKO SHARK. Delicious white meat that tastes and looks identical to swordfish. Bring your coolers! Water temperature is 74 degrees- tons of bass, barracuda, halibut, sheepshead caught on a quick local trip today. It is so much fun when the bite is on with this warm water.

Great weather. 50 + large makeral, 9 calico bass, 1 sand bass, 1 croaker, 11 sand dabs, 1 rock fish dolphins and whales
