I contacted Mike H, and sure enough it matched the description exactly..
Mike tells me the story went something like this:
He & is buddies went out for a early morning dive. Before getting to twenty feet , Mike spots my set up clean as day without even a piece of kelp on it.Mike was the leader of the dive, so he descended to pick it up, and sat on the sea floor pretending to be bendo while waiting for the group to come upon him! :reel:
What a sight that must have been..:eek:

Big Thanks out to ROYAK, Mike H and the Divebums crew..

1000 Good Karma points have just been delivered to your souls..

Wade

I found a very clean looking rod/reel in front of Vallectios St. Friday morning.
Describe it and it’s yours.

(Reply to mike H. for info; I know nothing more.)

[Nic D]

great news.

[GregAndrew]

Too kewl!!

[lamb]

nice, glad to hear they found your rig :cheers1:

[SoCalSwami]

Hi Wade,

I'm glad I could help. :cheers1:

Finding fins, masks and even an occasional knife are routine at the shores, but a full rod/reel?!? Even I was surprised.


Tip: A $20 label maker at Office Depot makes a perfect Christmas gift for the wife/GF ;)

Thanks again Mike, very classy hooking up our rastaman with gear he lost. Great tip for a label.

Amazing under water photos on your blog, jaw dropping!

Tough to pick a favorite as almost all of them are 1st class... I got a kick out of this one :D
