| It's always a pleasure to go out on the Twighlight trip with Dana Wharf Sportfishing. 4 hours is a perfect amount of time with children and/or folks trying out fishing for the first time. It's short enough that if it's not working out or you're getting seasick you'll be back soon enough but it's long enough to get some real fishing done. I've done this trip several times now (I think that this was my fourth) and for the first time my son fished the entire time instead of playing with the bait fish in the bait tank for the last part of the trip. He was a fisherman instead of a fisherman's son. We'll be thinking about a longer trip now but will still go out on this once in a while with newbies. The crew is great. The galley is great. You don't have to get up early in the morning to go. I recommend it. |

| The 5 hour fishing trip run by Dana Wharf is very well organized and is a real fun day. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and attentive. They provide more than enough live bait for the whole day of fishing. Although we did not catch much fish due to the early time of the year it was still a fun trip and we did see a lot of marine wildlife like sea lions and a whale. Everyone in my group is interested in doing this fishing trip again. |

| Many in our group were very inexperienced. The deck hands were so VERY patient and friendly. They repeatedly untangled our lines with a smile. They took the time out to explain things. Although we didn't catch any fish, we had a very good time. I believe that we owe this in great part to your crew. I am not very good with names but I believe that the lead deckhand was named Mike(?)...short brown hair, raised in San Clemente, tatoo on his calf....friend and warm personality.
I would recommend your fishing outfit to my friends. |

| The weather wasn't great, but the crew was. They moved around to increase our odds of catching. They were great with our children. We will be back! |

| My father-in-law told me that the only thing he wanted for his 94th birthday was to go ocean fishing, so my brother-in-law and I obliged. It was a wonderful day of fishing, and he caught a Sand Bass. The crew was knowledgeable, energetic, polite and helpful, and we look forward to going again on his 95th, if not before. Highly recommend this half day trip. Dana Wharf has a great website, easy to find location and parking, great captains and crews, and a beautiful coastline to enjoy, whether the fish are biting or not! |

| Went on the 1/2 day fishing trip with my family. Bought 5 tickets for us. Me and my wife just helped the kids for the most part. Our kids couldn't even fish without getting pushed out of the way by other fisherman. Way overbooked. I expected it to be crowded considering it was half price tuesday, but it was a little ridiculous. Fishing was pretty good and nice fishing crew, but too many people. |

| We had an excellent time on the water. The captain and the whole crew were friendly and helpful to everybody. Our 1/2 day fishing experience included catching sculpin, rock fish, macerrel, a variety of bass, one guy caught an eel, I myself caught a crab. So all-n-all our friends and family would highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to have a great time for a good price!!! |
