Lost Shimano Trinidad at the launch - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fritz · 03-02-2007, 01:51 PM

After a horendous attempt at landing that resulted in flipping my kayak this morning, I was able to salvage all but my Shimano Trinidad on an old brown tuna stick and my red tackle box. If anyone finds either I would be forever grateful for their return.

The rod/reel will still be in its white rocket launcher as it broke off completely when I flipped.

I hope the film crew that was following Jim Sammons around today didn't catch my landing!

No fish other than 1 nice calico for me this morning.

That surf had some bite to it today. Sorry we didn't find your stuff, how long did you look for it?

A good number of lost items end up appearing on this and other boards so keep your eyes out. Sorry to hear about the lost gear.

He was still looking for it when I left at 100pm.

Eric, I hope it comes up. It might be on it's way out, but I let Nate know. So, maybe it'll come up on a dive site somewhere.

Dennis, thank again for your help; it will come around as good karma on your next trip.

I think I am going to bring a snorkel tomorrow and see if I can pick it up~ if a tourista hasn't already.
