"SWAT CELL" Ambushed by the "Green Monster" and "Surfers of the Wrong Kind"!
After a long hiatus from the surf or any fishing for that matter, I was desperate to hit the waters somewhere and preferably in the surf.
I had sent out a hailing in my reply to Arthur”s (Wingnut) invite to venture up north to Yoda's (Exfactor) territory for fellow SWAT members who might go out on Sunday as I was working on Saturday.
Roberto (Murritta Angler) was kind enough to respond but he was not feeling confident in the conditions down south.
I chatted with Arthur for a bit about his day up north and any suggestions as to an AO for Sunday Morning. Pea Soup was suggested.
Well Roberto was kind of understandably reluctant to travel north and I was also to travel south if conditions were not there.
I tried to call Eddie (Hesbros) to see his plans as well as John (Klocked) but received no answer from either. Now I was really wondering what I would do.
Decided to go to sleep on it.
Beep, Beep, Beep! BSP will be at the AO at 0700. Beep, Beep, Beep! (John) Sorry I did not recognize you #. Will be there early!
Great to see I will have some company!
I am up at 0330 and there by 0445, suit up and head down in the semi dark thanks to a pretty much still full moon.
Conditions seemed pretty good and calm looking at them in the dark. Third cast produced a Queenfish!
Then a whole lotta salad was in the mix!
John (Klocked) was next to arrive, and was on a mission to return to Toad Rock for Lightning to strike twice.
After a short spell there we returned to the sand and I picked up a pancake.
Shortly after that Nick & Mark (BSP) arrived and conditions were deteriorating to even worse than what I arrived to.
Here is the Salad mix that greeted Nick!
Marc with his first ever LC Torpedo!
John was working the point very fast with the conditions. I hooked another pancake and farmed/ uhhhh released it at color.
Marc quickly followed with the largest Flattie at about 17"
I followed and was very much fooled that I had a nicer fish with a foul hooked Torpedo!
John was off working the bushes for some reason behind us when I suddenly heard some vile sounds and turned to see John trying his hardest to keep from vomiting! I will let him post up that pic!
We soon surrendered the location and made a move to Bean Central where it was very crowded with the surfing gang of the wrong kind by 0900. We made the walk down but after about 30 minutes we were back in the parking lots pretty much in agreement that today was not the day!
Nick, Marc, & John,
It was nice to be out on the water again with you guys! Conditions shut us down but still had a great time chatting with you out there!
Till next time!
Steve

At least you pulled in a few to help shake that rust off.
