It's Friday afternoon and I'm about to start my weekend and I start wondering what I'm going to do since I have a RARE weekend all to myself. Get nails done? Go to the mall? NO.....call a couple of Team 57 friends, grab my fishing gear and head to the beach! 5BassReaper7 had been wanting to get back out to the surf to try his luck again so I called and invited him. I also called Gavin310. We met up just before 6:00 am and headed to our 1st spot.

Working off our breakfast as we hike down to the beach. Later I was going to realize it's more fun going down than it is coming up! :Sad:

Nothing prettier than this 1st thing in the morning.

We settle in and get to searching for those halibuts. Gavin doing his thing

David (5BassReaper7) - I bet it's better with waders this time!

We aren't there 20 minutes when we see 2 looming figures in the distance coming toward us. Great, they have fishing gear also and right away they look suspicious, like they are going to bully us out of our spot. As they came closer we realized it was part of the S.W.A.T crew and they are known for coming in and taking over! J/K guys.....I was so happy to see John (Klocked) and Ramiro (Saltman) down there with us. They inform us that Wingnut and Bones are on their way. :Cool:

For the past couple of months I've been trying to make my way into this illustrious S.W.A.T. group as the first female recruit. Today I was even more determined since the pressure was on and I was concentrating hard on the task at hand. Wingnut is fishing close by and giving me some pointers. All of a sudden the end of my pole goes down and my line is being pulled. I was so excited and looked right over at Wingnut. He sees my face and starts laughing like a lunatic. He's laughing so hard he falls on to the sand and can't control himself. He hooked my line with his LC and is pulling on it while watching me. I tried not to strangle him when I realize what he's doing. I'm then told that he likes to pull this little trick on people. Funny guy :Evil: I'm telling him a few choice words and he's still laughing. His Poseidon must have been listening because not two casts later my line gets pulled again. This time it's a fish. Wingnut starts jumping up and down yelling "you have a fish, hurry, bring him in"

I did it!! I pulled in my very first halibut!

We fished this new area for a little while before all of us deciding we needed to break for lunch. The boys are already headed out. I guess grub sounded good

What an awesome day! Thank you Wingnut, S.W.A.T., Mike, John, Ramiro, Gavin, and David for making this an amazing day! Next......my legal halibut. You guys are great and I'm so proud to be a part of your group.

Donna, first of all congrats on your first ever Halibut and earning your way into the S.W.A.T. brotherhood... and now Sisterhood. :Thumbs Up:
Needless to say that I'm proud of you and I know Dana is too. :Big Grin:

Donna and I had an agreement. Catch a surf Halibut and punch your ticket into the S.W.A.T. Crew. For a month, your Lady S.W.A.T. gear has been in my car. Patiently waiting for the day that I can hand it off to my newest recruit. :Wink: I was telling the rest of the guys that get ready to welcome in the first female S.W.A.T. member... just watch, she IS GOING TO DO IT. Indeed you did it and I'm so glad that I was standing right next to you when it happened. :Cool: Never seen you so excited even though I was the one screaming like a little girl. :LOL: Coincidentally, you caught your first Halibut at the exact same beach that I caught my first ever surf Halibut four years ago. :!!!:

I'm sorry for playing that little trick on you just prior to your catch. But you should have seen the look on your face when I was tugging on your line with my LC... absolutely priceless! :Big Smile: But, I was punished for my mean streak and went without a single fish or so much as a strike for the rest of the day. :LOL:

You look like a seasoned surf fishing veteran in your new waders, even when you got knocked down by a rogue swell. :Wink: NO MORE fishing in jeans! :Wink: Be careful with that Shimano Sephia. Dana would freak if he knew you were using that reel in the surf. :Shocked:

Next goal... a legal Halibut! :Twisted:

What a fun day... Congrats again on your first Halibut, you will always remember your first.

Gavin & Dave, I enjoyed sharing the sand and hanging out with you guys... see you guys out there again soon. To my S.W.A.T. brothers Mike, John and Ramiro, mission accomplished! Thanks for your support and being a part of Donna's special day. :Cool:

Had a great time fishing with everybody. It was slow out there but we hit it hard. A few hours ago I started getting my gear ready to head out to the surf again on Sunday so I could get that stripe off my back, but then remembered I gotta head to the office to get ready for a big meeting on Monday. :Evil: Donna, you're up 2 to 0. Next time. Next time.... :Cool:

@John still on a hot streak I see, nice looking Calico too...very nice bro.

LoL @ Captain Morgan pose, you look just like him man!

@Donna Arthur didnt play that trick on me when I went out on our mission and I'm glad he didnt... I would have strangled him :Envious: :Secret:

Congrats on the Hali and on the invite to S.W.A.T. I believe being in the team brings out the best in us, hopefully we can hit the surf together one day :Cool:

Nice waders too, we definitely have a gracious and special commander don't we? :Wink:

@Arthur & Mike What happened guys, fingers to cold? :Rolls Eyes: :LOL:

@Ramiro Cant wait to share the sand with ya man

@Gavin310 & 5Bassreaper7 Whats up guys

SWAT to the rescue.

Police: Man with gun on Playa del Rey jetty was drunk
By Larry Altman, Staff Writer
Posted: 01/05/2011 09:21:53 AM PSTUpdated: 01/05/2011 06:49:09 PM PST

A man with a gun found slumped over on a jetty in Playa del Rey on Tuesday afternoon was drunk, police said Wednesday.

At first, police did not know whether the man was dead or alive when he was spotted about 4:30 p.m. near Pacific Avenue and 62nd Street.

He did not respond to them.

Police closed off the area and called in SWAT officers to handle the call.

It turned out he was alive, but had been drinking heavily. He was taken to jail.

Congrats for showing the BOYZ on how it's done "Girl Power" style. I know that big old legal is just around the corner for you and I hope all of the SWAT team is there to give you a Hazing when you put her on the sand.

Keep up the good work......

Wingnut did that trick to me once a long time ago. We were in the Santa Barbara surf and he casted over my line when i wasn't paying attention. Yanked on the line and i went for the ultimate phantom hookset. :mad: He rolled on the sand laughing. :Angry: But guess what, i got my PB 28" Halibut that day too. :Big Grin: Maybe laughter is the best medicine for the Flatties. :Wink: Welcome to SWAT, very well deserved. Robert is right, i wouldn't mind a few more lady members on the team myself. :LOL:

Donna,

It is with great pleasure to welcome you as our newest S.W.A.T. Member!

You stood you ground when the Team invaded your spot and then showed them how it should be done! :Guns:
Look forward to the day when you get the first Legal Flattie and hope to be there with the Team to witness it. :Big Grin:

It has been great to see the S.W.A.T. Commanders adding new recruits on what seems like a weekly basis. :Thumbs Up:I am also kicking myself in the butt for having to decline yet another invitation to a S.W.A.T. Mission. :Bawling:

As for Wingy's sick sense of humor! We can teach you ways of repayment for that moment! :Beat Stick:

Congrats to all for a great day on the waters.

Thank you Arthur. You are one of a kind (Not sure of what yet :Big Grin:) and I'm so glad you were there cheering me on when I caught my first flattie! I think the jeans were a curse. The waders work much more betterer. :Wink: I was so determined to do this on my own and prove something. But that just wasn't happening. It truly was much better being surrounded by friends/57/SWAT. You're lucky I caught a fish or I don't know if I could have forgiven you for that little Dennis the Menace stunt. :Evil:



Had a great time fishing with everybody. It was slow out there but we hit it hard.

Gavin, I was a little bummed when I couldn't make it out with you on New Years weekend so I was really glad when we could make things happen this weekend. I have no doubt you will even up the score board soon!



Congratulations on your first of many more halibut to come Donna. Welcome to the Team. Looking forward to fishing with everyone soon. I can’t wait to get out.. With the holidays behind us it is time to turn up the pressure on the enemy...

Thank you Jerry. Hope to fish with you soon.

Thank you David. I can't believe you missed it too. Leave the garage tool chest home next time and pack light!!! Kidding. Also, tell your friend Ray that when we say we're going to hike down to the beach.....we don't mean we are literally going to scale down the face of the cliff!! We use the stairs. That was crazy! I can't believe he didn't die. :Shocked:

I am so proud of you Donna! I saw the post last night before you had finished it and didn't know about the halibut. My Friend Wingnut told me about your accomplishment..........and I just had to check it out. :Cool:
Congratulations Donna!

Thank you Terry! I so wish you could have been there. Can't wait to get out there again and hopefully I'll be joined by a Legend!



Congrats Donna on making the SWAT TEAM AND YOUR FIRST HALIBUT Im sure thats the first of many to come.

Thank you!


Hi Nachofish,

Great job on the FFF First Flat Fish !! Congrats on graduating SWAT boot camp with the grade of (I'm assuming) private. Now to earn those stripes !!

JapanRon

Thank you Ron. I'll start working on those stripes right away.


Donna, I was glad to see you hook that halibut on the LC. Well done.
Saltman..

Thank you. Great fishing with you.


Donna,

It is with great pleasure to welcome you as our newest S.W.A.T. Member!

You stood you ground when the Team invaded your spot and then showed them how it should be done! :Guns:
Look forward to the day when you get the first Legal Flattie and hope to be there with the Team to witness it. :Big Grin:

It has been great to see the S.W.A.T. Commanders adding new recruits on what seems like a weekly basis. :Thumbs Up:I am also kicking myself in the butt for having to decline yet another invitation to a S.W.A.T. Mission. :Bawling:

As for Wingy's sick sense of humor! We can teach you ways of repayment for that moment! :Beat Stick:

Congrats to all for a great day on the waters.

Thank you Steve! I'm looking forward to the lessons on repaying Wingnut. Hope you can get out soon.


Great job Donna and congrats on becoming a member of the S.W.A.T and also on your first hali awesome report.

Congratz on your first of many surf halis! Good job showing the boys how it's done. :Razz: Haven't been fishing in a while.. you make me wanna get back out there! :Envious:
