Lost Rods / Reels LaJolla - Reward if found - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SoCalCJ · 11-16-2011, 01:00 PM

Left both my rods at the La Jolla launch around 11:45 today. First day out today, total rookie mistake. Went back at 1245 and their gone. Hopefully someone has been kind enough to grab them for me in the meantime. I also broke my mirage drive and rudder cable. Great day on the water though! This sport is going to bankrupt me. 12 pack of beer and cash reward if returned! Thanks!

I found two rods today, probably yours.

They were just sitting against the cement wall with a beam of sunlight on them,
not a soul around, I thought they were gifts sent from the gods to slay hogs.

PM me to confirm description.

Now that's some good karma... The fish gods will be pleased and will descend upon you...

Tight lines...

During our trip this weekend to San Quintin my wife noticed that the float on my camera had my name and number written on it.

Wife: why do you have your name on phone number on here.
Me: if I drop whoever finds will call me and return it to me.
Wife: you really think someone would do that with this digital camera?
Me: if its a another kayaker, yes.
Wife: cool.
