Lost Gear 5-29 LJ

[wade]

Let my guard down on the way in & paid the price this afternoon ...
Right in the front..in 5'-10'

Looking to possibly recover my:
Seaguar Premiere 30# & 40# Flouro spools if someone found them today..
Also, I lost (two) 12" hand poured prototype Squid lures.
One is orange color with flake/ 5 oz carolina weights inside
The other, is natural looking color, 1 oz weight inside.
both are rigged with nasty trebles, watch out..
& to make matters worse, I busted in half almost all of my good rods/quiver, camera..
Ill probably be outta commission for some time now..
(probably lost & broke more, but i haven't done a full inventory yet..)

Thanks

Ouch man, that's rough

[Badtaste2k]

That sucks Wade. I hope some of the La Jolla crew can help you out.

Good Luck and don't let it get you down!

Major bummer Wade. Sorry to hear that.

[jorluivil]

The wonderful world of kayak fishing. good luck getting your gear back.

I think I saw you flip, that sucked being so close I heard the rods snap, and was like, shit!. I was the skinny guy with the tattoos. I was looking for anything visible, but didn't see anything pop up. That surf got me and my buddy too, but I only lost a small box of hooks and weights and a couple of walkie talkies. Hope you find some of your stuff, and maybe see you out there sometime. Aaron

Sorry to hear that...sounds like my last yard sale when I accidently left my rudder down...next thing I knew I was in the drink, hopefully someone will return what is found...

[slobslayer]

Dang that hurts sorry to hear that. I'm no longer taking any chances with the rods up. How do you guys store rods if you can't put them down below?

[da22y]

Always sorry to know someone lost their gears.
I had my share of lost gear in the past.

In surf landing , I prepared myself as I will flip for sure.
If I am not flipped, it was my lucky day ! ( most of the time I am lucky)

Hope you find your gears !

[fknricter]

sucks.... sorry to hear,,

[dorado50]

PA 14. Just getting used to it along with my lame shoulder.
I made it on all the way in, just into the black wall, and hopped out ..
I tried to grab the back handle and just superman it the rest of the way right after I stowed the mirage drive & rudder,...
then a nice solid open one took it, flipped it & said bye bye before I could even grab her?!..that hull can sure move.....

[Azbasskilla]

You got to ride that baby in

[StinkyMatt]

That sucks Wade. The fishing is too good to be taking time off right now. I don't own fancy gear but you are welcome to a couple rods till you get replacements. Don't have much reel wise that I would not be embarrassed to show. Let me know.

[yakrider]

ouch...
I feel your pain!!!
CRAP!

[sharonkayak]

Its never good to break gear unless its a fish responsible, even that is not a happy ending.

If it makes you feel any better. I cant go fish either, since my truck got hit parked outside my house on memorial day.

[dwntwnall4u]

Sorry for the lost n broken stuff. Was out there too but came in earlier than you. There definitely were a few big waves mixed in yesterday.

[PapaDave]

Wade, I have a PA14 and flipped it yesterday as well. I actually could have avoided it, was trying out the idea of coming in backwards, facing the waves. Worked pretty good until I thought I'd be clever and try to turn around in between a set. Sorry to hear about the loss, LJ sure has a high price tag for fishing there. And if anyone is out there looking and find a pair of persciption sunglasses and a VHF radio, give me holler.

HA! I thought that was you?...
I was the ONLY guy who jumped in after you, and picked up all the crap I could and gave it back to you..hat, lures, bobbers,tackle box,ect..
All the kayak anglers on the beach just sat,watched and laughed at mine & your slam?!...WTF?

When you see a fellow plastic fishing brother bail, lend a hand and help grab whatever ya can..I probably could have avoided my rods getting snapped if someone stopped my upside down freight train from running aground..

*(Note to self: The PA14 has horizontal rod holders. 6 to be exact.. )*
& thats 2 more than I even needed!?..Double

Sorry to hear Wade. I'll be out tommorow and I'll look for everything I can.

I ALWAYS ALWAYS put my rods in my horizontal holder. It takes 2 seconds and gives me assurance. They make horrizontal holders for the Revo and Outback, have you looked into them?
