Thank you to everyone who has signed up. Rossman, you rock!
Prize update: We have Big Bass and Big Fish trophy medallions from Ten Crows Forge, and yesterday friends at Okuma and Hobie Fishing said they are in. More info as we get it. Whatever the prizes, however big or small, all of these generous donations are much appreciated.
The area:
Dana Pt is unique on our coast, with protected launches, a bait barge near the harbor mouth, and solid Big Fish and Bass options. I'm not going to give away too many secrets. There's still plenty of time for scouting trips.
Big Fish: Halibut historically targetable along Doheny Beach, inside a no motor zone. Watch out for the surf! White seabass and maybe a yellowtail at the kelp zones off the point and north towards Salt Creek.
Bass: Too many options. In shallow among the rocks of Capo Reef, out at the kelp, along the breakwall, etc. Please beware of surf in tight.
Launches: Event HQ at Baby Beach a mile deep inside the harbor. If you've pre-registered (you should!), launch anywhere on this picture. Options are the boat launch (bring a $10 bill for the automated gate), Doheny State Beach ($$$) and launch along the eastern breakwall, and Baby Beach. Just be sure you're back at Baby Beach by 1 pm if you want to score a fish.
