Deep Sea Fishing - Marina Del Rey

Got a travelzoo deal for a 1/2 day Deep Sea Fishing trip in Marina Del Rey. I was a little worried that it would be too crowded to be a comfortable fishing trip, but there were only about 30 people on a 90 person boat, so my first deep sea fishing trip was looking good.

About an hour before getting to Marina Del Rey, I took my motion sickness pill and thought I'd be ready to go....well, I wasn't. Maybe halfway to our first fishing spot, there goes breakfast. I'll spare you the details. But motion sickness is a crazy thing, you feel completely helpless haha. (On the way home, we saw this kid sitting with his head down....I feel ya kid).

Anyway, we started fishing, and I was a little woozy, but I figured this was my first time deep sea fishing, can't just sit around. Hooked up some live anchovies and dropped a line in. 30 seconds later, got my first bite, and here came my first fish. A couple fishing spots in, I started to lose the motion sickness a bit, and caught a couple more.

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty good trip. I caught 3, and Sophy caught 4 (She got the biggest one). All Rock Fish, or Pacific Snapper, or Rock Cod, apparently they're pretty much one in the same. I'd like to think I would have caught more, but considering I felt like there was an earthquake the whole time, my excuse is that I couldn't feel the fish nibble very well. Okay, maybe I'm just getting the hang of this deep sea fishing thing, cause it's definitely a different feel. Maybe next time.
