Lost gear (July 1st 2010) @ LJ shores surf zone - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

joemama15 · 07-02-2010, 04:14 AM

Hey folks... we had a pretty bad spill at La Jolla's surf zone (about 20-30 ft north of the yellow hotel bouys) today and lost a few items very very valuable to me. I know I should of had my gear together better (and I usually do), but after having a clean record of no crashes, I got overzealous and thought I had everything under control. Mother nature said no.

If any of you run into these and would be so kind enough to return them, I would be most grateful. Also willing to reward...
Please help.

Thanks~

-Fishing rods and reels. (x5) : They are quite nice ones and some are custom. They all had reel covers when going overboard. I can describe to match if you find them.

-Small blue Shimano jig box (6x10x8"?) Has various irons and jigs

-Digital camera. Silver in color. Can also describe in detail. It is in fact waterproof, and has some recent photo's of my 2yr old boy learning to swim which I didn't save yet... shame on me...

If any of you find this, you can have the camera, I'll even give you the battery charger. Just let me have the memory card.

-Green Burton wind breaker
-short handle landing net
-various dikes and needle nose pliers (I pray nobody gets injured by them... these probably sank into the sand)

I hope the community will be kind hearted enough to help return these items to the rightful owners.
PLEASE let me know if you happen to come across any of these...
Thank you!!!!!!!

**btw, thanks to all those who helped gather my gear that was recovered~
Really appreciate your kindness.

Thanks bro. I brought some extra gear to take my buddy fishing at LJ. He's a local there, but 1st time to fish there.

Were you in a kayak or a portaboat? I helped out some guys that flipped their portaboat and they too yardsale'd it and lost a bunch of gear.

it was a rough landing yesterday, i don't have a mask or trunks with me, otherwise i'd be down there searching after work.
