Post your DINGBAT Fishing moments - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I rarely bottom fish off the yak, and its the last Rockfish day of the season, so I decided I was going to try and soak some shrimp all day in 35' of water. Drag it around and possibly catch some stray rocks or maybe some of those famous MDR Hali's.

Well, I drift to my favorite Calico hole, grab my 2oz swimbait stick, load up for a cast and CRASH. I 100% catch my bottom rig that I forgot about on the back cast. I lose a guide on my bottom rod, get the worst birds next I've ever seen on my swimbait reel, lose about 50 yards of brand new braid and $10 lure that was unrecoverable.

You'd think after all these years I'd have this figured out. But NOOOOOO......
