I went out on the 1/2 day trip out of Danawharf Sportfishing on the Dana Pride. The crew was excellent and boat is super nice remodeled. We started off about a couple miles of dana point for some Giant Humbolt Squid. As soon as we got there there some insane boat traffic. Also the water was full of boils from the squid. As soon as I dropped my jig I was on like 10 secs. For the next half hour it went compeletly wide open on the squid from 15-40 pounds. We caught so many so fast we decided to move on to get some barracuda. We fished the remaining time moving around looking for barracuda. I managed to get 3 barracuda and 5 broke my line off. I used a stinger hook that helped trememdousley with the short bites. Overall excellent fishing experience. Fishing was excellent until the seals just would not leave the boat.
