| My son was celebrating his 12th b-day and as a tradition he chooses what he would like to do on his b-day with me (dad). He always chooses fishing. The weather was wonderful, but the fish weren't biting but the crew and captain were excellent and my son and I had a great time. It's all about building memories and our experience with Dana Sportfishing has always given us good ones even when the fish don't bite. |

A fun day trip

| We took our three children, ages 14, 12, and 10 on the 1/2 day fishing trip. We went on 1/2 day Tuesday to save a little money ($19.95 each), also had to pay about $13 each for rod & reel, and anyone over 16 needs a fishing license for about $14. The weather was chilly, so glad that we wore long pants and had sweatshirts on. The boat was a little rough, and our youngest got sick. Should have taken dramamine.
The crew was very friendly and helpful and gave us simple lessons, helped us bait our hooks in the beginning, and took our fish off the hook. For those who wanted to take their fish home, the crew also filleted the fish. It seemed as though most people caught at least one fish. There was quite a variety - one man even caught a small octopus. Our family caught a total of 7 fish, but threw them all back. They had food available in the galley - breakfast burritos in the a.m., and burgers at lunchtime. I thought it was reasonably priced. We all had a burger, and they were great! You can also bring your own food on the boat, but no alcohol. They do sell beer on the boat. We all had a fun time, and were happy that we caught some fish. glad that we only did the half day trip, as it was even a little long for the kids. |

| The crew was nice and helpful but nobody caught a fish. Seems a bit pricey ($119 bucks for all of us) for nothing. Kids were discouraged, probably won't do it again due to the cost verses output. |

Easy and enjoyable - Just, where are the fish?

| Easy to buy the tickets, the boarding process is quick and efficient. the boat crew were friendly and the weather was great. Now if only the fish would have cooperated but overall it was fun and enjoyable. We plan on goin again. |

| From leaving the dock, to returning our needs were met. The crew was right there for advice, helping to untangle lines and take fish off the hooks. The Capton did all he could by taking us from spot to spot to find fish that would cooperate and bite.
The Galley was good, and the food also good.
I will be back out when the time allows it for me. I will recommend the trip to anyone wanting a great fishing experience. A great day for the kids also. |

| The weather was good and the accomodations were good also. The staff was helpful in setting up the proper gear and bait. Although the catch of fish was minimal, there was a grey whale pup that was seen, dolphins, and an awnry sea lion (I expect he was catching fish), All in all a good trip and reasonably priced. I expect to go on another sea fishing adventure this summer when the fish are a little more plentiful. |

Good overall trip, could have been better.

| Crew was friendly and courteous, however I would have liked to see them do some chumming. While we were fishing, the crew sat around fishing with us when not doing other work.
No complaints, otherwise. |

A good time in spite of cold overcast weather.

| It was the first time on the water for my grand-daughters age 6 and 7. they had a great time. The crew was very professional and helpful. My grand-daughters and
son-in-law especially enjoyed the great bugers. |

| When individuals from outside California call to make a reservation, please share more information about fishing conditions and how they are different through out the year. Also we were unaware that food would be available on the boat. |

| I booked the trip knowing that fishing would be questionable. Your web site held true and that was OK. My son's had never been on the ocean fishing and it was worth the looks on there face's. We will be back....
Thanks |
