Lost irons

No offense but, it's kinda hard to have sympathy for someone who loses unsecured gear on the highway. I always make a point to doublecheck stuff like that. OBTW I have made a few offerings to the ocean myself and now I tie everything down for when it is perfectly flat and I'm launching out of the harbor lol that's when it usually happens. Or when you have your rod leashes on but not clipped!.

No offence taken and not looking for sympathy. My fault I lost it. It was like my 3rd time out and I forgot to hook the bungees down on the bait tank. Lesson learned. A costly mistake on my part.

Just sharing a lesson learned

I have a long list of pliers, bait knifes, and lobster gauges that I've donated. Including several "floating" varieties. Some do float, but that only helps if you've realized you dropped it.

Once I dropped a beer over the side, really pissed me off. Fricken salty.

Then when going diving 2 wks ago I remembered that the $300 GPS was on the edge of the boat when I pulled away. At least someone put it on craig's list but it was run over. Bummer. Lucky that I just downloaded all waypoints.
Then last SAT I dropped my $$ camera on the dock and snappped off some impt parts going on the Big Game 90 to San Clemente last week.
