5/27 LJ lost gear - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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....

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

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

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).

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.
