Lost Gear.....

[JeffB]

Went out to SD Bay today for a little fishing trip. I caught fish, but lost an $800 Bass Rod/Reel setup. I was about 35'-50' out from the "Danger Shoal" maker on the west end of SI. It happened right at dark, rod was wet as well as my hands. When I went to cast there was a slight back lash in my braid and the momentum of throwing the 2 1/2 bait shot my rod straight out if my hand. I started to jump in, but hesitated at the last sec bc my iPhone was in my pocket. I paddled over to it and watched it bubble down to the bottom as it sank. It was right on the edge of the shoal before it started to really drop off in 11.5'-13' of water.

The rod is a custom bass rod with a red/black spider wrap and the red is a Calcutta 400D.

If anyone happens to be fishing the bay this week and snahs the line sreels it in I will give you $100 to get it back. I will post a pick of the rod as well. If it wouldn't have been dark and/or the fact I was alone with out an anchor, then I would have swam down to try and find it.

Again I will give you a $100 if you catch my gear.....
