Lost Gear 5-29 LJ

[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.

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.

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?

I didn't see you until you were tipped or I would've been out there, I at least watched your and about 8 other kayaks while people either looked for their stuff or went for their trucks. 1 of which nobody asked me to watch but got taken out and I had to run out into the surf to keep it from getting taken out and tipped. The only guy who ran out to help me was a scooba diver who helped recover a tackle box, so thank you scooba steve. Sucks when it happens, but it happens I guess. I am strapping my shit down for sure next time so I don't have to rely on help

Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. Nice to finally meet you. I have some equipment you might be able to use sometime. Not the latest and greatest, but functional. Call me.
