Catching feisty barracuda & toad calico bass!…read more For over 30 years, "Sport fishing with Dan Hernandez" has been airing weekly on TV, teaching viewers how to catch & cook fish. Dan is a fishing expert with over 50 years of experience fishing the California & Mexican coast. He also founded the Dan Hernandez Youth Foundation over 18 years ago, in an effort to promote & spread the joy & love of fishing to the next generation. Besides TV taping fishing charters, he also provides private charters on his 31' Tiara Express boat, the "Mi Sueno". Specializing in 1/2 & 3/4 day charters, the trips target local reefs, structure & Catalina Island. Occupancy is limited to just 4 anglers (3 minimum needed), and all bait, tackle & fishing equipment are provided. Anglers just need to bring their fishing license, food/drink, proper layering of clothing, camera & a good attitude. Normally, Dan offers a 50% discount on open party trips in the spring. However, due to the lockdown & subsequent reopening phases, he also offered discounted trips this summer. Not having fished for many years, and the shutdown making me stir crazy, I secured my spot on a trip & was eager to hook into fish. We started the day fishing by the Catalina Sea Ranch mussel farm. The target was yellowtail, the most sought after gamefish in SoCal. My goal this year is to catch my first ever yellowtail, but alas, they weren't biting. Dan then brought us to Izor's Reef. On my first cast with a lively sardine, I instantly hooked a well beyond legal barracuda. From there, it was wide open on calico bass. They were so thick, the bass would congregate by the boat. Just drop a baited hook, and it would be fish on. I even managed to land a big, toad calico bass. It had some shoulders on her, and I had a blast landing it. Limiting out on calicos, our catch was filleted on our way back from the 1/2 day trip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2890uz3YNwE&t=0s Pro tip - I strongly suggest consuming ginger/motion sickness meds prior to boarding, for those w/o sea legs. During our trip, swells were around 4-5 feet. I almost got seasick, which quickly dissipated once I starting catching fish. Dan Hernandez also offers bay, harbor & Catalina Island cruises, for those looking something other than fishing. Parking is adjacent to Shoreline Village, in which Dan will provide a parking pass for the day. Service from Dan & his deckhand, Richard, was exceptional. I'm hooked on fishing, again! Dan put us on the fish & we muscled them on in. I was fortunate to land the biggest barracuda & calico bass of the trip. He provides everything needed, including a lifetime of knowledge, to ensure a successful fishing adventure. I'll be booking again, soon. Highly recommend!

Jetski Fishing the Pacific Ocean...heaven indeed! Definitely booking another trip soon!…read more The booking process was a breeze and the marina was conveniently accessible from the parking lot at the Hotel Maya. We were quickly checked in (make sure you arrive early), suited with our gear, and briefed on the plan for the day. Renting gear from Jetski Fishing was perfect because we didn't have to haul extra stuff to/from the parking lot. Our guide was very knowledgeable about fishing locations and provided great guidance throughout the trip. We hooked some keeper sand bass within the first hour. After 15 minutes or so of inactivity, our guide had us start up the jetskis and we rode at 40 - 50 mph to our next location (you don't have to go that fast, but when in Rome...). Our group fished around a couple of spots at the second location, but the catches had to be released due to species restrictions. We then bolted to our last fishing location where I hooked on to a thresher that snapped my line. And just like that - our trip went way too fast! Some recommendations: - Read the info email from Jetski Fishing after you confirm your trip (everything you need to know is in it) - Bring sunglasses (because the future's bright), sunblock, snacks, and drinks - Bring a fully charged phone, connect to the Bluetooth speakers, and play some tunes (fellow AT&T users: I was at one service bar most of the trip, so I wasn't able to stream itunes or Pandora) - There is plenty of storage space for a backpack, jacket, and small soft cooler - Take advantage of the 'filet your catch' option - Don't forget your GoPro (the views and marine life are incredible) Catch some 'Fresh Ones' and tip your guide!
