We went on a whale watching trip in April 2008 and knew it was 'between seasons' and therefore weren't that surprised when we didn't see anything (apart from Harbour seals glued to a bouy). We were given a ticket for a free trip any other day forever we like. We booked for 2 days later, again zilch, and another ticket.... more

I went out last week on a 3/4 day trip out of Dana Wharf Sportfishing. I know that fishing is always slow in the winter. The water is cold and the metabolism of fish slows down.

Dana Wharf is notorious for leaving a little late and coming back a little early. I've been on several twilight fishing trips and was dissapointed by the lack of service from the deck hands and captains. Contrast that with my 1st twilight trip out of Newprt Landing on the Nautilus. The crew was fantastic, helped land fish, tie on rigs,... more
