"Launched into small surf..."

Take note of the "small surf" thread posting date: 12-12-2005, 06:40 PM

Phenominal job guys :cheers1: I really like the fact that the only ice chest big enough for your catch is the bed of the pick-up ,Right-On

Aaahhh, back in 2005, where was I???? oh yeah, Iraq.... now it is 2010 and I am in afghanistan.... at least I am not missing the bite right now:luxhello:

Congrats for back then, and thanks cabo J for starting this one anew. The funny thing is that I am wearing my BWE shirt right now.

Can someone drag out my old Hali post for old times sake???:sifone:

Congrats, thx for sharing. Wow! :cheers1:

Glad to see you are still checking the fishing reports Eric! Have a safe and Merry Christmas from across the world! I'll go and try to find one for ya this weekend:D

Launched around 5am today with high hopes due to this awesome report of a WFO bite.

Got flipped 3 times on the way out in the big surf and lost everything but one small bass rod.. even lost my bait tank! Didn't this guy say the waves were small? But I knew it would be worth it with such a good bite. I didn't do that bad though, you should have seen the dozens and dozens of others who tried and never could make it out at all! Only about 50 of us made it out.

Got to the grounds and with my bass rod tied on a small iron and made a squid, left him on the hook and dropped it down. 10 minutes later bendo... the fight lasted 30 minutes and I had a 52lb YT on deck with only my 12lb test bass rod. Still early morning so I made another squid and dropped it down again and this time, 20 minutes later I had a 74lb WSB. Good thing I didn't have my bait tank still, or I would have sank my kayak. I was done, so I headed in...

But the waves were even bigger than before and more stacked... I held on for dear life but it was not meant to be. I caught a good overhead wave and pearled right into the sand, cartwheeling, losing both fish and my last rod in the process.

Oh well, was an epic day anyway, thanks for the timely report that made this possible! Forgot to take pics... :sifone:

:cheers1:
no pics needed Damian
I believe you

Let me know if you need to borrow any gear

i woulda road the fish in

If you like wine like i do, 2005 is great year!! I caught more yellow tail on my kayak that year than ever before! 2005 really was an EPIC year!!!

The year 2005 was the warmest year in over a century, according to NASA scientists studying temperature data from around the world.

Note that the Arctic has warmed significantly. These temperatures are from Dec. 2004 through Nov. 2005. Previously, the warmest year of the century was 1998, when a strong El Nino, a warm water event in the eastern Pacific Ocean, added warmth to global temperatures.

unreal! a great Christmas tale...:luxhello::luxhello:

so true on the posts. PBrs are fair weather fans. Its not our fault we pay less and catch more. congrats on the epic day.:cheers1:
