I was in about 25-30ft of water. I thought about diving down but there were some concerns.

1. My swimming suck, and I ears wanna explode going down 8-10ft in a pool, I doubt if I would be able to dive that deep.

2. Visibility: I doubt if the visibility is good enough for me to see them on the bottom that deep with the murky water in the bay.

3. Current must have drifted the gears quite a big too. I tried snagging them with a heavy sinker and trebble hook but had no luck because I had no idea where they are now. I tried the area where I flipped but couldn't hook into anything but eel grass. I gave up after over an hr because of the current, It would have me like 10 minutes to paddle to the spot, after I casted out and reel in i'm in another 10 minutes paddling away from where I cast. Repeated the process many time and finally gave up.
