You two looked like you had a lot of fun. I haven't had any luck on charter boats so I never went again. Do you have any recommendations? I have a lot of time the next few weeks, would love to catch something. Thank you for sharing.
Hi John, it depends where you're located, but if you're in SoCal in the Orange County Area, you can never go wrong with Dana Wharf Sportfishing (danawharf.com/fishing-trips/) or Davey's Locker (daveyslocker.com/deep-sea-fishing/?_ga=2.152821626.27173850.1629746957-507091658.1629746957) If you want to make a trip of it, Hook's Landing charters over in Ventura, CA (hooks.fishingreservations.net/sales/) produced good amounts of fish last time we went. If you really really really want to make a trip that will always produce excellent results, my personal favorite is the charters out of Monterey CA. I've gone with J&M Sportfishing (jmsportfishing.com/) every time I'm in that area and have yet to be disappointed (caught my PB Vermilion Rockfish with them as well!). Few recommendations based on my experience, 1/2 or 3/4th day doesn't matter, try to stick with early morning or afternoon trips. Twilight trips for some reason have never produced good results for me. I also like to fish the bottom more often than anything so bring at least 4 oz torpedos to get down there and keep your line from swinging too much with the current. wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Regulations/Fishing-Map/Southern ^Here's a list of fish size limit regulations for SoCal. Always good to familiarize yourself with it c: A few fish caught from shore are open year round but have season closures when out on a boat. The deck hands on charters will help out as well! Hope that helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask. Good luck when you go brother 👌🎣
Glad you enjoyed it, I went for a more sit back and relax approach for this video, there was definitely no shortage of fish and it was just such a nice day!
I’m going on the Dana wharf twilight for the first time next Friday, do you have any tips as far as size hooks and weights sizes? It would greatly be appreciated
It would depending what your charter might be targeting for, they may have live bait so for that I would recommend a size 2 or bigger hook, with a 1 or 2 oz egg sinker. Sometimes that doesn’t pan out, if that’s the case I always enjoy using a high low rig with a size 4-2 hook paired with the squid they provide. Use at least a 4 oz torpedo so it doesn’t sway too much, and you can fish all the way at the bottom, or after you hit bottom just crank up 1-5 times for different depths. The captain will provide you supplemental information at every spot you stop at to give you a general idea for what you can or should target c: you can definitely bring your own bait as well, I would recommend shrimp because I always like using shrimp, or anchovies as you don’t have to cast it, just drop it down, good luck! Let minnow how it goes :D!
@@SvenGoesFishing no luck with bottom fishing the whole boat basically struck out but we did catch lots of bass and barracuda and some Macs. Overall fun experience and someone caught a huge Black Sea bass he battled it for a good 30 minutes lol

Glad you enjoyed the video! It was a super fun day out in Dana Point, I always love the fishing in those waters, so many beautiful fish too!
