Keep a sharp eye out for a new club shirt that is in the works.  It will be great.

The 2011 shirt was great

Stay informed County of LA may take parking or some access away from boaters at the MDR Launch Ramp.

Up until recently the small boat access at Mothers Beach was imperiled.  Public input and pressure helped save the parking and access for all.

Our Mission

To promote the sport of fishing and to be champions of conservation and good sportsmanship.  Examples of how we do this would be our Youth Fishing Program and our Ocean Resources Enhancement Program (aka the Fish Grow Out Pen full of white sea bass).

Along the way we have a lot of fun and go fishing often.  Mostly Salt Water species in Southern California.  But we also recognize and reward member anglers who fish any where in the world.

MDR Anglers members were early supporters of Tag and Release of marlin and efforts to ban gillnets in the near-shore waters of Southern California.

The MDRA monthly meetings are typically held in Marina Del Rey's Burton Chase Park in the community room.  Most have interesting speakers.  Some meetings have meals.  All meeting include lots of fishermen and fisherwomen sharing info about the sport we love.

Marina Del Rey, in Los Angeles California, is home to the largest man made marina for pleasure boats and fishing boats.  The boat launch-ramp is large and has excellent docking facilities.  This web site is for the fishing community of Marina Del Rey in general and the sport fishing club Marina Del Rey Anglers, Inc. specifically.

We love Fishing for all types of saltwater fish.  Marlin, Halibut, Tuna, Yellowtail,  Dorado, Wahoo, White Sea Bass, Calico Bass, Sand Bass and many other ocean game fish.  If you are a saltwater sport fisherman drop us a line.

Examples of MDRA's Volunteer efforts

Discover Marina Del Rey day on Oct 10th 2010- Volunteers manned the docks at the fish pens and the information booth.  Teaching about aquaculture at the fish rearing pens.  Or members also mentored kids at the fishing dock.  Helping to teach new fishermen how to cast, bait a hook and generally having fun at the docks.  What else would a fisherman/sportsman want to do on a Sunday?

See the 2004 Discover Marina Del Rey Day photos On that day we released 2300+ fish AND taught a few kids how to fish. We did it again and in each year since.

The White Seabass grow out pans have released over 1 million fish up and down the coast.  Our two MDR pens have the lowest mortality rate of all the grow out pens. You can volunteer to be a Pen Pal and help raise baby fish too.  Contact Darrell if interested.  Our latest release was 2,850 fish and brings our total to date to 78,400+ juvenile white seabass released.
