Another legal flat one for SWAT in the northern AO

[exfactor]

Dave and i did a recon of a new area this afternoon, with these beautiful flat clean conditions, was hard not to take the whole day off. The tide was a bit low when we arrived, and i did my best Arthur imitation of seeing how far out i could get throwing the new autographed edition to anything willing. We spent a couple hours attempting to entice the enemy, to no avail. As the moon started rising, and the sun tried to hide, it was a photo op for Dave, who decided the pics were more exciting. I continued to cast, and caught a nice perch, then decided to return to where I started for a few last hurrahs. With about 15 minutes of light left, i got one to commit, which turned out to be around 24 inches. Dave was walking back, and did a few pics, which I'll put in here when I get them. So, two legals for me for the year, and feeling glad i got out for the ride. We needed a little more H20 in the spot for it to be good, so may try in the Am this weekend.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/MailAttachmentcopy.jpeg[URL=http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/MailAttachment.jpeg.html]http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/MailAttachment.jpeg (http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/MailAttachmentcopy.jpeg.html)http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/MailAttachmentcopy2.jpeg (http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/MailAttachmentcopy2.jpeg.html)

It was brought to my attention that this was the first legal halibut caught on the new "autographed" lc pattern. I believe the fish never would have bit me if not for Arthur's signature lol. I did a follow up trip with Bill "WWO" to El Cap yesterday. We had ideal conditions, and ended up with another 25 incher, and 3 shorts for our efforts.

Dear Yoda,

One day, I would like to join you at your side on the Jedi-council. Sorry for flaking out last time I was out there...Seriously, I mis-read that PM. Very nice on the back-to-back flatties!

P.S. Bill - your mojo is still inside you brother...just gotta remember it's still there. That's what happens when you let most of 2013 go by before hitting the surf. Let's fish brother!

Yoda, indeed... you are the FIRST to catch a legal Halibut on the S.W.A.T. LC. :Envious:
You beat Don (Bachiboy) by one day and me, by two days... I got mine yesterday. :Big Grin:
I hope you know by asking me to sign your LC, you greatly depreciated its value. :LOL:
Hopefully, conditions will cooperate and I will see you this weekend! :Wink:

Hi Mikey,

"CONGRATULATIONS" on beaching the legal and for also being the first to achieve this on the SWAT LC!
