Fun Fishing but overcrowded boat 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Sun, Aug 3, 08 12:00 PM	rynousa	Male	30-39	Local	Family Without Children
The fishing was pretty good and the staff was great but there were just too many people on the but. I have taken this trip two other times with not nearly as many people and it was much better.
thanks for the memories 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

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

This is the second time we have been out whale watching from Dana Harbor. We enjoy it very much. The staff or courteous, and still care a lot about what they are doing.

Not a lot of action but a good trip!
Awesome Overall Catamaran Adventure Cruises

The boat was extremely clean and fast! It was a blast. The only downsides were that the cabin smelled of sewage and the man at the snack bar wasn't super friendly. Overall, it was a great experience. We saw many dolphins and even a few blue whales!
Confusion 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

Dear Dana Wharf Sportfishing, I missed that the 12am i thought is was booking was actually 12pm. So I showed up at midnight and nobody was there. It was totally my mistake but I think it would be appropriate for Dana Wharf Sportfishing to give a small discount on another trip when it is missed by a passenger. I know there are costs for fuel and labor that must be accounted for but there is also a profit on services not rendered. This would allow Dana Wharf Sportfishing to offer a small discount to encourage patrons like me to go on another trip and not just leave disappointed after having to incur the expense of the trip (even though it was my fault) its just good business to have happy customers. I drove all the way from Moreno Valley before I realized the mistake. It would be great if you could send an email a couple hours before departure so this would not happen. Thank You. Rodger Smelcer
a little disappointing this year Whale Watching in Grey Whale Season (Dec - Apr)
Wed, Mar 25 12:00 PM	rritchie	Female	50-59	Local	Other
it was a beautiful day on the ocean. the crew was nice and tried to find a whale for us to see. but, no luck. we got whale checks just the same and will try again next year. i enjoy whale watching but was sorry we had no luck. though, like i said, it was a nice day at sea with my friend.
LOVE IT. Whale Watching in Grey Whale Season (Dec - Apr)

I TRY TO GO EVERY YEAR AND ALWAYS ENJOY IT. THE BOAT RIDE IS ENJOYABLE AND I HAVE NEVER FAILED TO SEE A WHALE THOUGH THIS YEAR IT DID TAKE A WHILE TO FIND ONE. WE FINALLY DID. WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. THEY ARE A SIGHT TO SEE.
Sum Fun is NO Fun! 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Wed, Jul 15 10:00 AM	rr2132	Male	30-39	Local	Family Without Children
Honestly, I would have to say that the 1/2 day trip on the SUM FUN was NO FUN! I go out quite a bit but mainly out of San Diego. This was my first trip out of Dana. Maybe I have been spoiled by the excellent service recieved from Point Loma, and H&M Landing, but the boat "SUM FUN" out of Dana was terrible. The deck hands were awful, sure I cought fish, but again the service from the hands was horrible. I would not reccomend this trip at all. The main problem was the crew, they were not good at all.
Request for more advise and information 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

This trip was with my son and his son. All were first timers on a commercial sport fishing boat. We rented poles. It seems the most success by others was with spoons or lures. The live anchovies were mainly eaten by the seals and pelicans. A suggestion to those renting equipment that maybe different types of bait (lures,etc.) might increase the catching would be appreciated. After all, persons renting equipment must be novices otherwise they would already have what is needed. The boat was fine, very clean and the galley and prepared breakfast sandwiches were very good and reasonably priced, which is appreciated. We enjoyed the experience and will do it again. But first I will need to get my own lures etc. The crew was fine and provided help when asked.

Someone on our boat caught an endangered species fish and the fish was filleted at the end of the ride.
Truly a fun day. The crew was excellent 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

My 10 year old son is now hooked (pun intended)on fishing and can't wait to go again!
packed boat 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Sat, Aug 2, 08 6:30 AM	rowens	Male	30-39	Unspecified	Unspecified
The boat was over packed I think with around 50 fisherman. The fishing was very poor, but this is not due the the crew tring to find the fish they tried very hard to find the fish moving serveral times. The main issue was the fast moving current and people not following there lines. The breakfast Burrito was very good.
Great Family outing Whale Watching in Grey Whale Season (Dec - Apr)
Wed, Apr 8 12:00 PM	Roubina	Female	30-39	Local	Family With Children
We had a great time on the whale watching trip, however, we did not see any whales or any dolphins. Maybe next season.....But overall great outdoor event with the kids.
Lovely Day for being out on the water. 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Sun, Mar 15 12:45 PM	rosh2009	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
The weather warmed up from previous days, so it turned out to be a lovely afternoon in hopes for a great or somewhat successful fishing trip. Met a lot a friendly people, but that was about it. They don't tell you really about the success rate of catching fish until about 1/2 through when you have not really even gotten a bite that the water is still to cold for fish to be caught. They should just let you know upfront that many excursions are coming up empty handed to say the least. This was on a Sunday. My other family members went out on their 1/2 price special two days later and it was worse, they didn't even have any bites. Your just paying for a boat ride. Might as well go whale watching for the same price, that way you know you are only going for a "scenic" ride. Most people on the boat caught nothing only 1 or at the most 3 people caught 1 fish each.
