Coming back in on a Cobra Fish N’ Dive. Thought I had tied everything down for the surf. Poor timing got the best of me and I found myself frantically steering down the face of a wave with my paddle. Knocked the only non tied down rod/reel into the water, and stared in that direction to try and get a good location in my memory to swim back out to it. Ended up rolling on the wave and a large yard sale ensued.
The LJ tourists enjoyed the show.

Wow!! This thread really made me feel better Some expensive and pride-crushing mistakes y'all experienced..
But if kayak fishing's taught me anything, it's to always stay humble and err on the side of caution no matter experience level.. Keep the stories coming!!

Reading some of yours made me feel better too! I got one story for the book of kayaking screw ups. I went out to the big lake in castaic and paddled out about 1/2 a mile when some youngsters in a speed boat flew pass me and created some massive wakes.. now at the same time I had just put on a $20 dollars led lighting recharging bass lure. And set my pole down to grab a drink out of my cooler.. when the waves hit.. the kayak rocked hard and my pole, reel, and new lure went over board and slowly sank to the bottom of the lake! Now I invested in a leash and some nicer rod holders to save me the embarrassment in the near future. Last edited by Newyakfisher; 08-02-2021 at 08:51 PM. Reason: Spelling errors x3 |
