5/27 LJ lost gear
 

hey everyone, there was a rod and reel setup founded on the beach today, looks like Someone lost it launching on landing... I have info on its where about. Please send me a message if you lost your rod and reel today.

:)
 

Is it a Shimano Speedmaster IV with a green Iron jig and a Sabre rod with blue handle ? I flipped on the way back today and lost it.
:you_rock:

Nice looking out for the other guy! That's why I like BWE!

I keep hoping my 9ft super seeker rod washes up I lost a month ago. Any chance?

the guy at OEX said he got 4 that washed up last week alone. So worth giving them a call to see if you have your gear. I can see why people put their names and cel # on their gear.

Why not store your valuable reels under hatch especially when surf landing ?

I saw a high end reel (Avet) attatched to a broken rod few days ago just outsdie LJ surf zone(6 feet or so deep) in the morning, very temping to jump out and get it , but decided not to...

That's somebody's $300+ in the water....:rolleyes:

Thanks!
 

Thank you for the post. I just called OEX and they have it at the shop.

I think the going price of recovery is a case of beer. And no, I don't work there.:cheers1:

I stowed away my gear yesterday purely on the fact i might hit someone coming in. Sure enough i had one of those rental kayak turn in on me as i was on a wave and took a bath sooner then i wanted to. Kayak didn't flip though so that was good:ack2:

I never stowe my rods, though its probably a good idea. I always ensure the leashes are attached, line is cut (dont want a hook in the face), and gaff is stowed in the hull (don't want a piece of that).

good looking out
 

:kayak-surfer:

1) ALWAYS stow the outfits if surf is anything above 2 feet high, but at least put a bungee around them to keep from loosing them when less than 2 feet.

2) Never try to land when a rental is trying to land. Odds are, they will screw you up.

I'm still praying that my mine pops up, I lost it a year ago.

I'm going to get get a snorkel and open Mr. Adventures used gear shack

Cool!
 

Bigmozi, I am glad you saw the posting and will be able to get your gear back. Mike, you are right, folks from BWE are pretty cool, being fairly new to kayak fishing and BWE ( just sign up yesterday to post about the gear) I got some great information from BWE postings and I meet a few members on Sunday while I was waiting on the beach for my ride and everyone seem very friendly. BTW, don't forget to thank the guys at OEX!
Looking forward to meeting some of you out on the water in the future, good fishing!

Way to look out everyone....thanks to all involved, that's what makes it a family
