Got BUTT? My Perfect Weekend!

[Wingnut]

This has been pretty much a perfect weekend for me. First I win second place at my home game poker tournament Saturday night $Cha-Ching!$. :banana:Then followed it up with a great surf fishing outing on Sunday. So I'm going to share my near perfect weekend with anybody who care to read this long report. Life is good... enjoy. 8-)

Playing cards all night Saturday and winning some discretionary cash with thirty of my closest friends & family members gave me the extra energy boost to hit the surf Sunday morning. Met a couple of FNN members, Brian_GSC and City Dad out in the North Zuma surf in the early AM. It was a bit windy, but the water condition was clear and salad free. Fished the incoming tide with low to moderate ideal surf conditions. I went to the Fred Hall show on Wednesday with Dana (Fisherman57) and we attended a surf fishing seminar hosted by Bill Varney, a renowned surf fishing instructor. So I was eager to apply a couple of things that I picked up from the class.

Looking at the near perfect conditions in front of me I had to make a choice. What lure should I throw first this morning... decisions... decisions. I had a 5/8 green mackerel Krocodile in my hand but put it back and grabbed the LC instead at the last second. The LC Flash Minnow 110 Zebra Sardine sailed through the air and landed behind the incoming set of surf and the hunt was on.

Today was going to be a great day. One of my best days in the surf. I worked the LC at different speeds to get the feel of the incoming & outgoing current. A very strong incoming surge and equally strong outgoing rip current. Automatically tells me that a slow steady retrieve was in order. Caught a couple of BSPs in the first ten or fifteen minutes to get the adrenaline going and then... thump, thump... I found what we really came here for.

My first of FOUR "Flat Boys" for the day. This one is a 14 inch shorty.

Kept working the shoreline looking for structures and got another shorty to commit to the LC.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r135/Wingnut32566/Picture002-2.jpg

I was getting Perch taps left & right and once in awhile, a sharp, vicious swipe that can only be from something more sinister. This is the results from one of those mean strikes. Yellow Fin Croaker, one of two for the day.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r135/Wingnut32566/Wingnut2/Picture026-3.jpg

The LC was HOT today. I made the right decision to go to it first this morning. I handed Brian one to throw so he can join in on the action. My third shorty came in at 16 inches. I kept running over to Brian for a quick pic snapshot and putting these guys back in the water as fast as I could.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r135/Wingnut32566/Wingnut2/Picture022-5.jpg

I actually saw this YFC chase the LC in the crest of the wave and took a swipe at it. Pretty exciting... good for the ol' cardiovascular system.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r135/Wingnut32566/Wingnut2/Picture024-4.jpg

Then the highlight of the day. As I was working the shoreline, I came up on an area of "funny water", where turbulence from the shifting currents causes a swirling effect in the bottom structure of the sand. My first thought was "Halibut ambush point". Halibuts are ambush predators, they love to lie and wait in these areas for the swirling currents to knock an unsuspecting and disoriented baitfish into their waiting jaws. On my second cast into the area, as I felt the LC wiggle in neutral, caught in the turbulence... something wicked this way comes... :twisted: A legal Hali joined the party. This is what we were looking for, these bad boys fight to the very end, they battle until the last wave washes them up on the sand.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r135/Wingnut32566/Wingnut2/Picture028-3.jpg

23 inches. I was planning to keep my next legal Hali, but something in the way those weird eyes were looking at me seems to say, "Please spare me Slayer..." I look at Brian & we both said... “Let it go.” Maybe the Fish Gods will be kind to me somewhere down the line. ;)

It was about 10:30 and Brian had to leave. Going back home to his wife and their newborn TRIPLETS. He earned his pass to get out and fish today, the first time in months. Brian, it was great fishing with you today and I hope to see back out here in the surf or on the lake again soon.
Take care of those precious babies.

I continue to fish with City Dad for about another hour. We were just tearing them up with the Gulp CSW. We must have caught a couple dozen hand sized WSP & BSPs in just a short period of time. I found a little hole where I was pulling them out on every cast. At one time, I counted seven casts... seven Perches. No matter what species you choose to target in the surf, catching Perch never gets old.

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r135/Wingnut32566/Wingnut2/Picture039-1.jpg

City Dad got himself another couple of brute Perch slabs again. One was 12 inches and another at 14 inches :shock:. Hey Tim, if you keep getting your PB every time that you go out... soon you're going to have a world record on your hand.
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r135/Wingnut32566/Wingnut2/Picture043-1.jpg

I decided to head home around noon just as a fog bank started to roll in. Kinda strange, one moment crystal clear, and then ten minutes later... foggy, really creepy.

What a fun day, a perfect way to cap off my great weekend! Until next time, bent rods to all!

I want to say hello to Jonathan, a young man that I met at the Fred Hall show on Wednesday. I told him that the next time I catch a Halibut I would mention him and his father in my report. Jonathan is ten years old, loves to go fishing with his dad and enjoy reading all the reports on FNN. :D

Arthur (Wingnut) :mrgreen:

"The best way to make all your dreams come true... is to wake up."

Oh yeah!!! More cash to feed my fishing tackle addiction! :lol:

Great report!! Nice catches!

Btw, I love how your gold necklace is glowing in the money pic :)

[Bluefinsearcher]

Grats on both $$ and $$ fishing!

[tacklejunkie]

Very nice Wingnut! I'm itching for hali on the LC in the surf!
Cash, nice fishes and good company! Looks like a killer day out there dude. Thanks for the pics and report!

[sansou]

Excellent report!

Congrats on the poker score and the nice looking halibut!

You're on fire these days......I'm taking you fishing with me when I go to the Sierras with hopes you will bring me luck!


See you around,

[one_leg]

Another great report by Wingnut.

Thanks dude.

O_L

[City Dad]

Dang, I gotta get in on the croaker and flattie action. Maybe next time I'll start at your end of the beach.;)

It really was an epic day. I got a bit creeped out by the wind and fog too.

After I left you I saw a sea lion surfing a wave the way dolphins do. I'd never seen that before. I also noticed more crab remains and more birds working the sand, though I've yet to see any live ones down there this season.

[tacklejunkie]

Last trip up to that area I brought in a 1/4" sand crab on the treble of my live jig. I think they're getting close! He was live and kicken. I was busy with the lure or I'd have tossed it out as bait..

[Theedanimal]

Great weekend.. nice report.

The best part of that poker picture is the looks on the other 2 peoples face in the picture. They are hating you right about then... haha.

[Fisherman57]

Multi species day!...... awesome Arthur!

Thos YFC's are niced sized!...... and congrats on the flatties..... always nice to C&R a few shorts!...

Im headed out this week, gimme a call and we'll give some of Bill's lures a workout!

Great to see Brian & Tim out there!..... we gotta get Brian down here more often!...... or we're headed your way Brian!

Arthur, it was good meeting you. I had a good time.

The fish gods have been looking favorably on you for some time now dude!! :) Then you go out there and release a legal flattie! The gods are definitely going to reward you again VERY soon!!! Way to go on a great day! Maybe next time we will target them in a shark-donut err float tube!



Great to see Brian & Tim out there!..... we gotta get Brian down here more often!...... or we're headed your way Brian!
Man. It was AWESOME to get out of the house. The salt air helped get that phantom diaper smell out of my nose! :p I am looking forward to next time. Maybe you guys can come kidnap me or something! ;)

[blackwater]

Sorry I couldn't come out there with you Art, the business needed some catching up. :evil: Nice job out there AGAIN, they're right, the Fish Gods are already kind to you. ;)

$2500.00 bucks for second place is a nice little bonus buddy. But how could you let a GIRL beat you out of first place!?! I shouldn't talk though, I donated my $250 buy-in and didn't even make the final table. :lol:

BW

[BBL2Baja]

Arthur, you know how to live!!!

Nice weekend! Winning money and taking trophy shots on the beach!

Great job!

Later,

[calico killer kevin]

DUDE! You left your Steez on the sand! :cry:
Nice halis and 25 bills by the way.



Calico Killer Kevin

[FishNFurious]

Damn Arthur, only you would use a Steez outfit to fish for Perch!

See, I joined the site like you asked, now you have to keep your promise and show me ALL your Halibut spots!!! :twisted: ;)

Heard that there were some hotties at your poker party (did Tina drop by?):lol: , POST SOME MORE PICS PLEASE! HA HA HA :lol: 8-)
I heard from Blazer that it was a rocking party and Vanni won first and $4000 bucks! We'll be seeing her at the mall soon I'm sure. You got second? LOSSSSERRRRR! :rofl:

[Native Gal]

Two thumbs up for a fabulous weekend.

[DiskoCrisco]

Congrats all around. Great post yet again. I'm curious to know what you learned from Varney, I wasn't able to make it to his seminar which was a the only dissapointment to an otherwise great trip to FH.

[newbefisher]

Damn man, now that was a nice weekend! :thumb:

[Santa Fe Eric]

That was an awesome weekend!
Dude, di you lay your Steez down in the sand for a picture with a fish?
It's a good thing you won big money, I get nervous putting my Storm reels down on the sand.
LOL! Good job!

Eric

[kpn]

That's a nice weekend alright. You did it again bud.
Congrats.

KPN.

[bullets_full]

[atomiie]

Great report. Congratulations on the beutiful fish. :D

[CAPT'N]

Arthur--another amazing weekend of fishing !!

If the fish gods are any nicer to you--you will be catching legal flatties out of the swimming pool !

SS:rolleyes:

C.D., There are two gates North of where you entered that takes you right down to the beach. Nice seeing you out there again.

Hey, shorts are fine with me, they're fun to catch too. Good luck tomorrow Dana, call me when you get home. Tim didn't even pull his fly rod out of the car because of the strong wind. Brian was like a school kid set free after a week of detention. He was so happy to be out there smelling the fresh air instead of dirty diapers. :mrgreen:

No worries Phuong, business first, then play. They'll be waiting for you when you're ready to come back out.
Yes, Vanni was red hot, she was killing me heads-up. That girl can flat out play. I hope she wins our qualifier and represents us in this year's WSOP. Oh yeah, thanks for your donation to the cause! :twisted:

The party was great, where were you?!? Yes, the babes were thick but don't even think about trolling in my pond buddy. :twisted: Yes, I'm sure Vanni is already out there spending her winnings. That's a lot of shoes that she can buy. :lol: As for the "loser" remark, you forget, I've played with you buddy and your poker skills is as bad as your fish slaying skills... As a matter of fact, isn't your nickname at the table "Fish". :rofl:

Bill is a very knowledgeable guy, Dana (Fisherman57) sent me a copy of his book when I first started surf fishing and it really helped me a lot. There were a few things that I picked up from his seminar. But one of the things was that he confirmed what I already suspected to be true about surf fishing. Most of the fish that you target is only within 10 to 60 feet from the shore. Most surf fishermen casts too far out and only get hits as they bring their offerings closer to the shore. ;)

I'm really bad with my gear. You don't know how many times I drop them in the drink or throw them on the sand to grab a fish or whatever. It freaks some people out when they fish with me and see me do that. I guess I get too excited sometimes. :lol:

You gotta have skills to be a guide. 90% skills and 10% luck. That's their bread & butter. In my case, it's the other way around. I rely more on luck and good timing than anything else. :lol:
