What anglers said about fishing in Orange County

Less of a traffic fight from Huntington vs Long Beach. Mostly at the end of the trip. Great area to leave from. Long Beach was also a great location though.

Yes. It’s close to deep ocean and once conditions are right pelagic species are easy to access from Dana Point

Dress in layers, started out quite chilly at 0600 and wished I had brought something other than cotton sweaters for myself and the kiddos. Otherwise, the trip was pretty carefree!

Don’t keep setting hooks a lot of people missed fish because they drop down pole and pull up which gives fish a chances to get off.

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!!!

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!
