Trip Summary

Medium Calico, Sculpin and Sand Bass bite, a strong white fish and sand dab bite and Sharking has been tough. The Makeral just showed up yesterday in abundance which is a good sign because that is what they prey on. The water temp in April never got above 57ish and yesterday it hit 60 so things are moving in the right direction!! 65 and above things really come alive and when we hit 70 degrees it ON! They say we are looking at a super el nino thus season which coukd be epic fishing right around the corner.

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.
