Davys Locker 3/4 Day Trips On LivingSocial - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I went on a trip out of there. I received free tickets from my father in law so me and a buddy made reservations showed up 45 minutes early went to go check in and the boat had left an hour early due to captain changes. And there was 20 of us that they had just left. And I drove to newport from oceanside. Was determined to use the free ticket and booked another reservation this time for me my buddy amd my wife. Made it on the boat this time and one of the deckhands was constantly hitting on my wife and trying to "show" her how to hold her pole correctly. I had my right hand in a bandage because I had just had surgery and he attempted to poke fun and asked me if I got my ass beat in a fight. I informed him that I was injured in Afghanistan and that if he had any more stupid questions he could ask me in the parking lot after the trip. He finally shut his mouth and didn't talk to us for the rest of the trip An overall terrible experience and will never go back to either.

Its a decent boat if it wasn't for the groupon type deals. They pack the boats to the rim and people would be fishing two-three deep during these special; I hear 80 easy. And on days it isn't jamp packed they would try to charge you a fuel charge. On top of that they don’t count the groupon customers when deciding if they have enough people to even go out. I've tried going on off days to try to miss the crowd using their specials and it’s a waist of time. I perfer the boats going out of long beach.

eh.. I think these boats are hit-or-miss..

I did a half-day Davey's Locker on the Western Pride with my son, and frankly.. had a good day. I think it's luck of the draw.

Here's a short video of my trip:

My main issue with them, after-the-fact.. is that even if you save a few bucks on the *Special*... you have to pay a lot for parking. I've heard recently.. that the Native Sun out of Long Beach is a better experience, especially for kids, newbies (like me), etc.. and FREE PARKING. Plus, it's really close to me.

Happy fishing...
