S.W.A.T. Quick Report 5/17

5/17/13

Thien(bloox8) had just finished up with school and finals so he was ready to go fishing again asap :Smile: We decided on hitting a couple of local beaches to do some recon and see how things were shaping up. I had hit this beach a few weeks ago for an hour and it was an all you can eat salad buffet and totally unfishable... Arrived to nice calm conditions and overcast skies, but there was still too much salad in the water. We worked it anyways and managed one 15.5" yfc (just short of counting for any points). We decided to packup and head south, stoping by one other beach on our way to there. We arrived at the spot at low tide and managed a few more fish to end the day with. No points for the rookies today :Neutral:

Fish Count: (1) yfc; (1) calico; (1) sand bass; (3) smelt
I did have a couple of halibut come up and hit my lure right in front of me but they didn't stick :mad:

16" sandie (from the rocks = no points)

Nice Sandie Daniel... and on the spinnerbait too, very cool. :Big Grin:

Nice job on the sandy with the spinner bait! Not something I woulda thought of throwing there. Way to think outta the box for the score!:Wink:

I fished a double willow spinner bait with a smimmie trailer many many times on the surf. Not even a bump. You should get double cool points for that...:) Keep at it bro!

[PTN]

Big Sandie there Daniel. Got to try a spinner bait one day. Think I'll be more confident in throwing one when I can go with someone that knows how to use one. :Cool:

-Peter

[Bob_B]

Nice turd roller, and on the spinner, very cool!

[madbass]

That's a jackpot turd!! Must be fun catching them on spinnerbaits.
Thanks for the porn!!!

Daniel, nice sandie on the spinnerbait. I've always been wanting to throw the spinner in that spot. I think it's time to use my Bass Pro giftcard on a few spinners I've been eyeing out.

Hi Daniel

I had a feeling that you where going to buy a spinnerbait when we met at Action Fishing Tackle about to weeks ago. Nice sand bass keep using it, your big calico is just around the corner. Great report.

Nice sandie Daniel, too bad doesnt count as points. What lure were you using, it has a big plastic hook or something.
Thanks for the report.

[blackwater]

That's a nice turd roller, too bad you got no points for it. :Sad:
Maybe Arthur should allow one points for fish not caught off the beach?
Keep up the nice job Rookies. :Big Grin:

Thanks Arthur! I always like trying out the spinnerbait when there's bass to be caught :Big Grin:


nice fish i need to add one of those to my list

Thanks! I hope get one of your own soon. They're strong fighters! Gotta make sure you turn them away from structure right away.


Nice job on the sandy with the spinner bait! Not something I woulda thought of throwing there. Way to think outta the box for the score!:Wink:

Thanks Don! I've always wanted to catch a saltwater bass on a spinnerbait and I knew it could be done so I gave it a shot :Smile:

Not sure how effective a spinnerbait would be from shore unless the you have calm conditions. I've tried it too, fishing for halibut at night. I thought the extra vibrations could trigger a strike but so far I haven't had any success, but bass is a totally different story :Wink: We need to get a surf session together soon!

-Peter

I was just letting it drop down against the rocks and slow rolling it on the bottom. You should give it a try next time you're targeting bass :Smile:

Thanks!

Thanks it felt great getting it on that bait :Big Grin:


Daniel, nice sandie on the spinnerbait. I've always been wanting to throw the spinner in that spot. I think it's time to use my Bass Pro giftcard on a few spinners I've been eyeing out.

Thanks Jason! Make sure you get some heavier duty spinnerbaits. I was using a freshwater spinnerbait and that sandie totally bent out the wire lol I've ordered some heavier duty saltwater ones for next time.


Hi Daniel

Thanks Ramiro! A calico on the spinner would be cool. I'll give it another go next time.

Thanks for the report.

Thanks Albert! I was using a grub trailer. It looks great in the water, especially on the drop.

Keep up the nice job Rookies. :Big Grin:

Thanks Phuong! I don't mind that it didn't count for any points. I think Arthur may have us youngins beat in that category all by himself :LOL:
