Dana Point Headlands Area 6/12

[rvonkaenel]

Could you give me a little information. I have just started fishing Dana Point. I normally just go a little South outside the harbor and fish. I have heard of the Salt Creek spot. Is it just a little North of the harbor inlet? How long does it take you to paddle/peddle to the spot. What are the land marks? Thanks for any feed back.

Strands is the beach just north of the headlands (point), the next beach up is salt creek. I take it easy on my peddle up and it usually takes me around 30 minutes to get to the point/south end of strands. Usually good kelp to fish.

I did not see any kelp at all when I was there last week.

I've never used shrimp but have quite a few good sheephead out there using live sardines from the barge. I use a size two hook on a carolina rig with 25 lb flouro. Not sure if it's traditional, but it works for me.

There isn't much anymore, but there is some regrowth going on.
