| 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. |

| 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. |

| Please let the owners of the Reel Fishing boat know how much we enjoyed the trip. We were very impressed with Zach and the rest of the crew. Their attitudes were great, they were very helpful, and made us feel like they were there to help with whatever our needs might be.
I will come back. |

| I called ahead and asked about poles/tackle and they gave me the wrong advise so I brought the wrong stuff for the trip, so that kind of sucked. I wish I would of been given more accurate information so I could of enjoyed the trip better. Needless to say, I didn't catch anything! |

| It was my sons first time and i wanted to start him off slowly. It was great for him and me although the water was rough which i think made it a slow day, but it was overall worth while and plenty of fun. We are looking forward to the next time we are able to go out. |

| I booked the 1/2 Day fishing trip and was anxious for an exciting 5 hour expedition full of action. Instead I ended up on a boat with 30 other disappointed people.
Fishing was terrible! The combined fish count for the entire boat was less than 10 fish on the day, and none were more than 14 inches long. There was no seating available on the boat so everyone, including small children and seniors, were forced to stand for 5 hours and fight the rocking of the boat. Several people gave in and sat on the wet slimy deck in order to rest their legs. The 3 man crew was friendly and courteous, and our boat was witness to a whale that surfaced nearby and numerous seals, but those are the only positives I can muster for this adventure. I would NOT recommend this activity during this time of year. I understand fishing conditions can vary which may have contributed to the lack of success, but with todays sonar technology and other fish finding devices, I feel the crew could have put us in much more action. |

| large fishing trawler (30 people ) gets you out on the water for a good five hours of fishing, even though the catch at this time of year is not very good. Well worth the value. |
