OMG!! I need to get over this cold NOWWWWWWWW!! lol
Good job guys!
Great job out there guys!:Thumbs Up:
I was thinking about how you were doing this morning, pretty sure you were tearing it up and then I see a missed call and text from Bones........:Shocked:
What an awesome day for the SWAT Team wherever they fished.:Cool:
Looking forward to seeing you and Mike this weekend.
SWAT TEAM, you guys post some of the best photos. Would you guys every consider a GOPRO camera, for videos.
Another Sweet Morning Filled With Fish!!!
I wished I could have joined you and Jerry, but I need all the work I can get right now.
Great morning, with multiple species is always sweet...:Big Grin:
I look forward to seeing you out at Irvine on Saturday,
Robert
<><
Thanks Arthur it was great fishing with you my friend. I wish I had more time so we could have hit the other spots. It was a nice day to be on the water. Arthur brought up a good point that most people (non-anglers) live their lives never realizing the amazing places and great adventures that exist right in their own backyards. Can't wait to get back out there I sure would love to have another shot at that first fish.
I was glad to hear the news that Lt Bones had captured a BIG fish. Well done Mike! It helps provide a little redemption. We have come under the fire of some heavy hitters over the past week which has resulted in defeat and loss of artillery. Careful guys there are some BIG enemies lurking the front lines right now.

Arthur/Jerry,
Next time you guys head out let me know and I'll try to meet up. I'm trying to shake off a cold right now :(
Anthony
Great reports and pics. I always love seeing what ya come up with next. Major props
Another ho hum day(s) in the life of SWAT! Really getting tough for me getting all the up to the minute updates from the crew while I sit atop a mountain here and there with my crew dodging our enemy of choice!
I hope you all leave a few of the enemy on the battle ground for me to have fun with whenever I get the next opportunity to join you all!
Until then! Continue with the swift invasions of the enemy territory and over take them with brute force!
Steve
PS. We missed crossing paths by 3 days at the location and no lucky penny for me! But it was great to spend some quality time with the wife after being away from home so much this summer!
Hang in there Bill, you're gonna ahev a break-out session soon. :Wink:Quote:

Had a great time fishing with you Jerry. Good to get caught up with each other's ups & downs in the game of life. :Cool: I can't believe how many shorts are out there right now... probably around 20 to 1 ratio. :Neutral:Quote:

Stay well my friend and again, good luck with that new project. :Wink:
Feel better Anthony, we'll hook up and fish soon. :Cool:Quote:

Bonus Report #2
S.W.A.T. Extended Mission. Wednesday 9/21/11
I decided to stay in town this week to hit the surf for a couple more times to take advantage of the recent hot bite. The "Boss" won't be happy, but oh well... lol :Wink: Had a fantastic session on Saturday, followed that up with a great trip on Tuesday and I was hoping for a similar session today... BUT alas... all good things must come to an end. :LOL:
Mike (Bones) called me up and asked if I wanted to hit up his A.O. today to see if we can coax another mega Hali to play. :Envious: I said, why not, I'm already in trouble with the Boss so let's do it! Exfactor aka The Fishing Yoda gave me a call and wanted to drive down from Santa Barbara to join us. Come on down Mikey! :Big Grin:
We hit several spots in the Malibu area for a few hours and had a nice, relaxing lunch afterwards. Got Mikey on the road back home before traffic begin to build up. :Cool:
Conditions was pretty decent. A bit more swelly than the last few days, but still good. The salad condition definitely got worse though as some spots were difficult to fish. :Neutral: Mikey & Mike had a pretty good morning, but I stunk it up big time, lol :LOL: Didn't even get a hit on the LC all morning. :mad:
Fish count - All Released.
Exfactor: 2 Legal Halibut (22", 23") 1 short Halibut
Bones: 1 short Halibut, 1 short White Sea Bass
Wingnut: :Skunk:
Mike, thanks for being our guide today. Always great fishing with you my friend. You were still on cloud 9 and were smiling all day from the high that the big Flattie gave you. :Big Grin: Congrats once again and I'm sure an even bigger Hali is on the way. :Wink: See ya Saturday!
Mikey, thanks for making the long drive to join us today. You did great! Two legal Flatties... You are now on the board! :Big Grin: Good call following your Yoda instinct and finding the fish at grey light. My Spidey senses failed me today. :LOL: My turn to head North to fish with you buddy... :Cool:
Thanks for checking in everybody, enjoy the rest of your week.
Maybe I'll see some of you guys at Dana's Memorial Event at Irvine Lake this Saturday. :Wink:
Arthur (Wingnut)
Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquillity.
A few pics of our fun session.
Planning our course of action at grey light.
Mike got the first hook-up of the morning.
Here is the funny series... the fish made him work for it! lol :Big Smile:
Stumbling on the rocks...
More rock hopping...
The fish wrapped itself around a boiler rock... :Twisted:
After some serious maneuvering...
Success...
Mikey stuck two legal Flatties working down the beach from us. Measured and released without pics. I was too far down the beach...
Here he is with a Flat Fish of the wrong kind. :LOL:
Mystery fish?!? :Wink:
S.W.A.T. terrain... :Twisted:
Mike's short WSB.
What kind of plant/fruit is this??? :Shocked:
Gotta love Mikey's vanity plate. :Envious:
Lunch!
My plate... :Envious:
