Career Day in El Segundo

[the1astmohican]

The sun had just risen on a dusty path
Just then a figure had caught my eye
A man with a sombrero who was four feet high
I pulled over to ask were we was at
His index finger he tipped up his hat
"El Segundo," he said, "my name is Pedro
If you need directions, I'll tell you pronto"

Went out to El Segundo today to do some surf fishing with my wife and brother-in-law. After watching them catch all the fish the last few outings, I finally got in on the action. Got to the beach around 2:30 and threw the LCs (Flash Minnow and Pointer.) Moved up the beach a little ways and hooked up to a nice size perch...

About 5 minutes later, still throwing the same Flash Minnow... twitch, twitch, pause, and I got another hit. Turned out to be my first halibut ever! Measured 18in and was released.

Stayed on the same spot, feeling pretty good about everything. Another 20 minutes went by throwing the same LC , twitch, twitch, pause... Felt the hit, so I set the hook and then zzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ my drag started going nuts. After a nice fight, and a huge adrenaline rush, I bested my already amazing day: 24 1/2in halibutt! Got my picture and then released her.

Congrats on your personal best halibut!

Flyngby- No fish at tito's. There's only three items we order there: taco with cheese, all-meat burrito and guacamole. Chips and salsa are gratis...

Coffea- Those are the lyrics to the Tribe Called Quest record I Left My Wallet in El Segundo

[King Halibut]

Sweet fish, congrats on the "keeper" hali!!!!
Best part of the day had to be hitting Tito's on the way home.
Having grown up in Culver City, i've been going there since I was a kid.
Best beef and cheese burritos, chips and salsa in town.

Fish On,

KH

Nice hali. You should try manhattan beach. I have personally seen giant halis caught off the surf there.
