Dylan,
It was nice meeting you even though you had just gone through the ringer.
I didn't manage to find any of your gear after several drifts through the area you mentioned.
Keep your chin up, and take this expensive lesson for what it is worth. Much better to lose some replaceable gear then to get hurt or end up dead. I second the recomendation to take out the yak and get more comfortable with it before heading out with a bunch of gear again.
It was pretty choppy out there by the barge, and the cattle boats don't ever seem to follow the 10 MPH rule and kick up huge wakes, especially out near the entrance to the harbor. There were a couple of times when I was turned around getting a bait yesterday that I felt that balance shift happeneing but I was able to correct in time.
Keep at it and don't give up! This is just a speed bump on the way to killer fishing for you!
