my girl had work today so after i dropped her off i was in the area for a few hours so i headed down to the sandy beach to fish for the halibut. i arrived to an incoming tide and slight wind with white caps off the coast. i fished the first spot for a while with no bites then decided to get some drive thru lunch and give it a try again. i pulled up to my third spot and sat in my truck to eat my lunch and scan the coast for a bit to find my final fishing spot of the day. As im eating i look out the window and see two guys fully geared up walking the surf and i say to myself.....is that Wingnut... cuz i remember what his surf gear looked like and i saw his 9' carrot stick a mile away...lol so i get out my truck and ask...is that wingnut?? and the other guy responds....no its .." "...i dont remember the name he said but i guess it was funny to them...so we meet and introduce ourselves....it was the halibut legends themselves "Bones and Wingnut"...boy was i excited.. so we talk and chat it up a bit..me and bones were talking bout a spot that we both like and fish offen and me being a rookie butt slayer i was asking lots of questions and showing them what i was using to see if i was on point....i told them that i had not bought a L.C yet because i was scared to lose it and it was expensive..not a minute after saying that Wingnut opens his pack and hands me a brand new limited edition L.C and says here you go....i was in shock and could only raise my hand and thank him... now my tackle pack was complete and i felt just having it in my pack already increased my odds of catching a legal halibut this year...but that wasnt it....after talking with bones about drop shotting i showed bones and wingnut my plastics and asking questions about them.. wingnut then opens his plastic pack and hands me a big hammer swimbait already rigged and says try this color.. i could not thank him enuff..."thanks again Wingnut" so we continued to talk and i continued to pick there brains a bit an after a while they were off to go eat and i was off to fish the last halfhour before i had to pick up my girl.
I didnt end up catching anything because the conditions were wrong for the time i was there but i did meet some new friends, learn more about the spots we fish and got a lucky wingnut edition L.C... now im scared to lose it even more because it was givin to me my MR L.C him self....its probably worth some money....j/k....actually...the girlfriend has the couch and the L.C is sleeping with me..hahahahahaha.....j/k....im gunna scrape all the paint off with the teeth from all the halibuts i catch with it and as i release them im going to whisper thanks wingnut.....
It was a pleasure to meet you Bones and Wingnut.....hopefully i will see you guys again and we can fish together soon..........Fishbones
