- In this video, I meet up with my boi Trey Fishing, and we do some chill harbor fishing in Dana Point Harbor! Trey catches huge spotfin croakers, except the funny thing is that we are using the exact same bait and he's catching all the nice huge fish haha. But overall, we had a lot of fun trying out different spots of the harbor to fish. Thanks for fishing with Sven Trey! c: We also caught some opaleyes, Trey caught a rock wrasse and a nice Sargo, a few butter perches, some calico bass, and Trey also caught a 16 inch jacksmelt. Overall, pretty cool day of fishing :D Thanks for watching, have a blessed day! c:
Check out Trey's Channel! :D

09:51 Outro And Concluding Thoughts, Thanks For Fishing With Sven Trey! :D Also thanks for watching, have a blessed day! c:
#firstfishfreedom is a tradition that I started a while back. The basis for this tradition is to release the first fish you catch, regardless of what it is (prized, PB, good eats, maybe even world record someday haha). I will only keep the first fish if it is gravely wounded or gut shotted (and a species I can legally keep). If I keep the first fish, then I will pass on the tradition to the second fish, and so forth. Any day of fishing is a blessing, catching a fish and beating the skunk is another blessing on top of that, so I want to return that blessing and luck back to the fish, so they may live another day, get bigger, and maybe I catch them again in the future c:

The Sven is a custom rod that Amber got for me ^-^
amzn.to/3K7tq9C (Penn Conflict II 4000, you can choose different sizes as needed, overall great saltwater reel, very smooth cast and reeling!)
amzn.to/39dNdHF (Okuma Celilo Salmon/ Steelhead 8'6" Medium, a really good solid beginner rod in my opinion, I'd use it for surf fishing and jetty fishing. Good flexibility for casting far and feeling bites and good reach fishing over rocks for me :D)
amzn.to/3ED5ERL (Penn Pursuit III 3000) Choose the correct size for your needs! Clam = Package Type c: This is a good budget reel for beginners, I like the way it handles and it is very comfortable to use. It has great line capacity for 20lb braid so it's a great go-to reel for medium to light setups.
amzn.to/3vCCgGX (Fishing Bait Thread, very helpful for securing non-sturdy baits to your hook, highly recommended if you use bait such as mussels!)
amzn.to/3Kgo38c (I normally use braided, my default line for general purpose is 20 lb Power Pro Spectra Braided Line, Moss Green. Choose the lb you need for what you're targeting, but you can never go wrong with this brand).
amzn.to/3EDRdNh (GoPro Hero9 Black: The GoPro I'm currently using. Great battery life, especially when filming in 1080p. Favorite function is the stabilization option, keeps footage from getting too jumbly :D)

Hey that's me! :D Thanks for coming out to fish with me. We gotta do it again soon! 😄
For sure Trey! I still gotta catch me those chonky spotfins haha, tell me your secrets 😂
Great video as always Sven. Your buddy Trey is a natural, those were some really nice fish that he landed. Good to know that there's many decent fish swimming around in the harbor. I'll have to try to find some time to go fishing there myself. Keep it up Sven, I'll be looking forward to where you will fish next.
Thanks John! Yeah Trey should change his name to Trey Be Slaying Fish or something because it was crazy to watch him pull up fish back to back 😂 I still think it’s silly that we were using the same bait and he still caught almost all of them haha. I’ll give you a hint for the next video, I catch a for sure PB fish ;) and it’s also in Dana Point! :D
very nice.. get em dudes..
Trey definitely got them all Werf 😂 with barely any left for me 😉
@@SvenGoesFishing happens sometimes.. nice work regardless
The funny thing was though Werf, Trey and I were using the exact same shrimp 😂 that’s what got me thinking a bit more but I didn’t mind, he seemed like he was having a hella good time lolol
@@SvenGoesFishing no doubt.. maybe he was casting closer or farther, maybe less/more bait.. maybe a lot of factors.. hard to tell ..
@@werftv4580 oh yeah there are always a bunch of factors in play, Trey also fishes more finesse while I like to opt-in for heavier lb line
Yeah nice croaker
Very nice croakers :D I still can't believe I didn't catch one myself but now I know there's some chonky bois lurking in the harbor haha c:
Love your vids hope to see you down in Dana point one day
Maybe one day! Fishing has been a little bit more difficult to plan for me as of late but that also means you never know when I'll be out there or not :D if you see me, feel free to stop by and say hi! c:
I'm pretty sure you only caught three because your buddy caught all the fish in the area Sven, dude's got a gift for fishing I tell you. Looking forward to another Sven and Trey collab!
😂 thanks for watching Cook, I don’t think he caught all the fish, might have just not been my day Lolol. I still do think it’s very silly that we were using the same shrimp and he was pulling out fish left and right though XD oh well, that’s fishing for yah c:
the bonito are biting at oc piers! theyre fun to catch! i got quick limits at balboa and saw at least 50 caught! lets goo
With feathers ?
Thanks for the heads up jkim070 :D I forgot to keep track of when the bonitos were gonna start running again haha, gotta plan a trip out to get them c: very excited!
Feathers would work, I've had luck on krocodiles, kastmasters, anything that mimics a baitfish. Bonitos are highly aggressive, especially if they're in a feeding frenzy so as long as you toss out a lure and jig it in while they're there, they will tackle it c:
Do a catch n cook next time 😊
You right Jiggstah jigfishin, as of late, most of the time I don't plan to do catch and cooks because it's going to be extra gear to lug out and it's already a bit rough to try to find time to start fishing haha, but I definitely need to do another catch and cook soon! Always fun and the results never disappoint c: maybe I'll try to work a catch and cook in soon but we'll have to see how my schedule works out c:
View spot nice.., best fishing..like 👍
Thank you 👍, it was the best day of fishing, at least for Trey haha, it was still good fishing for me c:
Longer leader on the bottom hook gets the Croakers
Thanks for the tip, will have to try that next time c: Love to catch croaker bois haha
@@SvenGoesFishing They like a 3’ leader on top of a 12” leader to sinker. The hi low is good for surf perch I found out.
@user-jc4yv7eg7c that it does for sure, high low is always one of my favorite rigs to use c:
that was super fun to watch trey caught a lot of nice fish and he was very funny cant wait for more collabs with him sven keep it up
Thanks for watching just a ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ :D, more fishing Trey is currently in the works, I just need to find time to go. Fun fact, this trip with Trey was actually super last minute, I think I mentioned to him I was able to go fishing like several hours before we met up lolol
haha trey stole all the fish. at least you guys were able to catch nice ones and dinner! you ever use jerkbaits (lukcy craft) or jigs?
Yeah I’m pretty sure he stole all the fish too 😂 jk, there was definitely plenty of fish in the harbor, I’m just curious why he caught most of them even though we were sharing the exact same shrimp Lolol. I fish more bait and waits but Trey does fish with crappie grubs and such, he would be able to give you much better info on using lures and jigs than I will be able too 🙃 thanks for watching Brandon! c: 👌🎣
Where can I find spots to fish. I only know of the Jetty near the fuel station?
Ooooo this is the fun part :D! First you search up the MPA regulations map for the area you plan to fish. Googling like “SoCal MPA fishing regulations map” might pop it up, or you can try Fish and Wildlife’s website.
From there, look to see where you plan to fish. If it’s not in an Marine Protected Area, you’re good to fish like normal. If it lands in an MPA, that’s where you need to double check. From at least my understand of how I think it works 😂 each MPA could have a subclass to it, like State Marine Reserve, State Marine Conservation Area, etc. Each one has its own specific regulations, always double check before you fish out there :O
Some allow fishing by hook and line only, some allow spear fishing only, some might allow bait collecting. Be sure you know what you’re getting into 😂
Then go on Google maps and turn on satellite view, look around where might look nice to fish (don’t forget safe too!). If you’re not sure, see if it looks like you can get there safely. If not don’t risk it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Then get your gear and pack light, maybe a few things you’d like to try and one rod. Head on out and scout the area. If it looks good, safe, and you are aware of potential regulations, it’ll be a fun spot to try :D!
Is this ghost shrimp?
Nope, just good ole reliable regular shromp 😂 great general purpose bait all the time in my honest onion c:
How do you get the spotfin?
Spotfin like a wide variety of baits, including good ole reliable shromp 😂 I’ve heard mussels and bloodworms work well for them too c:
@@SvenGoesFishing where in the heck are people finding Lug Worms, Blood Worms and Ghost Shrimp in North County and Orange County?
Local tackle shops will usually have them when they have the stock. Most of them are usually close to the beach but you may have a few established ones closer inland. Google tackle shops near me and see what pops up, you can check their websites if they have one to see if they have bait selection, or you can always call during business hours and ask 😁
Where is that the harbor?
This is Dana point’s harbor
@@SvenGoesFishing where can I park for cheap?
Parking is free my friend 😂
@@SvenGoesFishing I had to pay $1 per hour. Where is there free parking near Jetty?

Great video!
Thanks Saltwater Therapist :D it was a great day of fishing c:
Do you need a license to fish off that jetty?
This area specifically yeah you need a license to fish :o
@@SvenGoesFishing I thought so. I know I’ve legally fished over by doheney at the little pier/ dock before without a license
@bluedoggum8373 any public pier in CA doesn’t need a license, also any longer jetty of 2 that protect a waterway also doesn’t need a license :D! Now question is, if 2 jetties are the same size, which one would be license free 🤔
@@SvenGoesFishing I wish they’d increase the # of free fishing spots, but more importantly, have free fishing spots for spearfisherman. I have actually contacted them about this on numerous occasions; the fact that pole fisherman have license free spots and spearfisherman dont and how they rationalize that. They get back to me which is nice enough of them I suppose. They never have an answer however. I guess they just don’t care.
@@SvenGoesFishing I also have a real problem with the # of species limits going down in some instances, *and* geographical areas being restricted (eg laguna) all while our licensing fees actually go up! Seems they have these equations backwards… any other business the less the customer gets the less they pay. But I don’t think they care. They are the true crypto of the world “up only” with their fees.
Are you fishing by baby beach.let me know.great videos
At the first spot, we were close by baby beach but not there exactly. Thanks for watching Gary Wolfe c:👌🎣
