Next Club Meeting

(2nd Wednesday of the month)!

Club Meeting - October 8

This is a must attend meeting. Picture yourself fishing on a pristine Alaskan river, landing huge trout and 4 different species of salmon surrounded by majestic mountains and sharing this scene with bears, elk and bald eagles nearly everywhere you look.. The plan for tomorrow is to catch trophy halibut and monster ling cods. Rivers Inlet Sportsmans Lodge is donating an all inclusive trip for two to the MDR Halibut Derby and Fishing Director Simon Kelly will be with us Wednesday, October 8 to share some of his incredible experiences with clients in the rugged and exquisitely gorgeous Alaskan wilderness. Please mark your calendars to be with us to thank Simon and to experience some of his adventures.

Club Meeting September 10

Professional kayakers, Paul Quirk and Mark Pierpont, will join us September 10 to introduce us to their world of kayak fishing. Entering the world of private water craft has never been easier. Kayaks are cheap and safe and, boy, do they catch fish. Mark and Paul both caught eligible halibut at the MDR Halibut Derby. Other kayakers caught legal halibut but less than the 26 inch minimum to be weighed at the derby scales, meaning kayakers caught a high percentage of the total fish on derby day. Mark Pierpont nailed 3rd place at the MDR Halibut Derby with a 36 pound butt from his kayak. This is fishing, up close and personal. Come learn how they do it and maybe join them on an outing.

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.

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.

Sample of MDRA's Volunteer efforts

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.
