Just hit a bad day, I guess. I usually have good luck with Dana Wharf Sportfishing, but this day was bad - only a couple of sculpin caught for the whole boat, and my group caught one small rockfish between the four of us. Frustrating morning all around. |

Haven't been on a boat in a year and this was fun. Lots of activity on the boat. About 25 fish in all were caught among all anglers. Many more were released or lost while reeling in. Crew of the Clementine was really helpful and friendly. Seeing whales was an added bonus. Looking forward to another trip. |

The day was drizzling and overcast. The ocean seemed a little choppy. The captain and the crew picked to good spots for us to cast our lines. Most of the anglers were getting several bites. Most of the fish were too small to keep. However, most of the bites were calico and sand bass. The crew was very helpful. A handful of us were not very good at fishing but the crew was good at helping anglers who blew out the reels or tangled their lines. All in all it was a good day. |

Just wanted to hang out with my 13 year old boy for the day and have some fun. My son Joshua caught a 26" Halibut and won the jackpot. Every one on board was amazed. The crew and captain were great, very helpful and courteous. My son had a great time and was very excited. We will be back soon. |

The crew members were great and helpful. Disappointed because almost everyone came back empty handed. Are there any fish left in the ocean? |
 |
I was not a happy fisherman!! |

Beginning with front desk to "sign in" and get my tickets...find out info and purchase fishing licenses/rods and tackle.........."gentleman was unfriendly and rude........answers to queries were curt and not well explained !
Boat crew was preoccupied and not at all helpful....we were repeatedly asked for our "number"...and we were NEVER told our "number"!!
Having fished many times..I KNOW they are not always "biting" so NO complaint about that............but bait was not easily accessed.......and there was no contact with crew except for the fellow running the 'galley.'
I would not go on this excursion again.. |

Fun for adults and kids. |

It was a fun day. The trip length was great for our 9 and 10 year old and long enough that the adults got to enjoy it. The crew was helpful and friendly and even stayed out a little longer to allow us the chance to catch a few more fish. It was worth the money and we are planning a return trip. |

Great for a family event.. Try it everyone will en |

Took both my sons with me and it was a good father son event. There were other father daughters on the boat and they equally had a good time. Dress warm for mornings. I plan on bringing my wife for a more unique date soon. |

We had a GREAT time!!! I've been out fishing in Balboa Hated it, everything about it!! The person on the phone, the boat, the crew and I couldn't understand a word that they were saying on the speaker on the boat. The crew was so rude out of Balboa I swore I'd never go back and I did'nt!! Through a friend I started fishing in Marina Del Rey, which I absolutly LOVED!!! However this trip because I was taking other people from work it was too far to go, so someone suggested Dana Point!! From the first person I talked to on the phone to the end of the day was very enjoyable!!! The person at the ticket counter was very friendly and helpful. The crew on board was very helpful and friendly, they came around all the time and helped. I Love being on the boat anyway, so not catching any fish was disapointing, but the Captain and Crew are not at fault. I think the most important things about fishing is to make it fun and enjoyable as possible, and the Captain and Crew did just that!!! They all apologized over and over for not catching any fish, which said a lot, that they really cared!! The Captain talked on the speaker about a lot of things and I could understand him and the Crew (along with the Captain) actually talked to us!! I would go again for sure!! This summer if I can get them together we would like to charter one of your boats for our firm!!! Looks like I have found a new home, I go fishing quite often (usually by myself) and I will definitely be back to visit you again and I wouldn't even bat an eye about going alone!!!
Thank You So Much for making our trip so enjoyable. The two other people that I went with had never gone deep sea fishing and on the boat they were both talking about next time. When I arrived at work on Monday they thanked me for inviting them along and they could hardly wait till the next time!!! Good On YOU!!!
Please give a special thanks to the Captain and Crew and please tell the kid that got his wisdom teeth removed that I hope he's feeling better!!!
Thank you again so very, very much!!!

Third trip with no fish caught. There were only four fish caught the whole trip. I believe that your group should be experts on where the fish are. This was once again very disappointing for my son, which disappoints me. We will be going with another outfit next time. |
