My buddy found a nice kelp cutter outfit

(in about 65 feet) while diving La Jolla yesterday. Estimated immersion time 1-2 mos.; still in working order.

PM me with ID and its yours again.

Did your buddy hear any ominous clicking sounds while down there?

Dupree · 02-28-2012, 08:31 PM

He didn't mention any clicking sounds but he did report hearing the nearby dolphin pods.

with any luck the "Clicking" will be heard soon.

Underwater by the croakers and above the waterline the reel clicker...

65 feet. That's a long way to dive. Damn!

It's still in working order. Little bit of corrosion on the handle but otherwise you could fish it today. However, it will need a complete teardown in short order. Fortunately the SX is very easy to work on.
