Finally got out and ended up exploring Dana Point on the wrong day. Red tide everywhere so i decided to fish inside the harbor. Wasnt too bad, managed a few short halis on flash trix and even a baby calico.
wierd tide levels today too.
Great exploring, probably be out there again soon.

Hey Nick,
Thanks for the report.

I bet it drives those Hali's crazy trying to look like a DRY rock when they're dripping wet?

Too bad about the Red tide.

Are you sure it wasn't the "brown tide" that DP is so famous for?

Could be, but i doubt it. Reason why i doubt it is because of the recent rain that we had that could have started it and the movement that it showed. Thats what I thought and the guy working the sportfishing shop said so too.

Whats the Brown tide like? u might be right, i dont go to DP nearly as much as you or Bullets lol. Ill pm you next time i head down and maybe you can show me the ropes!

Brown tide is when you see the nasty brown foam all over. Bullets and I have only been there about 6 times. We usually go to the Seal Beach jetties.

the water is just realy stirred up with the wind, a few calm warm days and the fishing should get alot better. i was at the pier yesterday but didn't fish, 20 mph winds and chopy seas. gona try the harbor soon as the water clears up a bit. you did alright for yourself given the coditions, you know what your doing bud.

Nice going on the shorts and the cali too.

Better get yourself a tape measure for WHEN you land the legal or larger.

...positive thinking, ya know.

Thank you for the report and pictures.
