superman saves the day! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

CKallday71 · 08-04-2013, 04:35 PM

I love the fact that I keep running into REALLY cool people the deeper I get into this hobby. The same, unfortunately, is not true of some of my other hobbies.

Way to be a Good Guy Greg!

That's amazing, Greg!

It was more entertaining than most of my recent fishing outings. It also gave me a good push to get the App working correctly. Bob, I use a 4# downrigger ball on a downrigger to keep it at depth. Drake, the delay was what I was talking about. But the WiFi does not work thru water either.

Greg,

now that's a fairly advanced use of multiple technologies AND equipment there.

very impressive technical/mechanical achievement !!!
as well as a very cool gesture on your part.

Take me to VEGAS!

Greg can pretty much damn near catch anything in the ocean....

We need a Catch of the Week section

Just curious but what type of damage should one expect on a reel thats been in the water that long?

GregAndrew · 08-05-2013, 11:26 AM

Funny you should ask that Raskal. The hook, while showing signs of rust, was still mostly shiny. So those of you that think a hook is gonna rust out in a few days might need to rethink. There was little to no corrosion apparent on the outside of the reel. But then again, it was a Sealine, and they really are bullet proof.

i soaked the reel in fresh water over night. the next day the reel feels as good as new! i was planning to take it in to be serviced, but now i may just use it... like greg said, "bulletproof"!

i'm impressed

looks like this is better than a fishfinder, you can actually see at the bottom

wiredantz · 08-08-2013, 07:38 AM

Greg is one amazing guy

467echo · 08-08-2013, 07:52 AM

That is just badass, to see your setup sitting on the ocean floor. Too bad you didn't hook something at the same time. If I ever drop gear in the drink I won't feel bad, I'll just call Greg!!
