Lost NRS Chinook vest on the Islander - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Socalrobt · 05-20-2013, 11:03 AM

I was unable to locate my NRS Chinock vest this past weekend on the Islander trip. I have a coast guard whitsle on it. The colors are black and orange. If anyone comes across please message me. Thank you for your help.

Still missing? Was hoping you would have found it this am. Hope it shows up. Good luck!

Still looking for two rods/reels, a gaff and misc tackle. Oh never mind, I just remembered it's in 100' feet of water.

I was thinking about your story, TeamFish, when vest was heard missing. Vest doesn't even close to your mishap on mothership. No one wants to lose any gear. Again, sucks big time!

When will the details be posted?

Still missing. If it doesn't turn I will grab another one. It is nothing to loose a vest compared to some really nice gear.

Just a stupid move on my part. I was getting bait on the side of the Islander and twisted around to help flip the bait into my live well. I was already off center and a little swell came between me and the ship and "bada bing, bada BOOM" I went over.
The awesome crew we had tried thier asses off to retreive my gear but it was too far gone.
Other than being tired, sore and a little lighter in the tackle department I had the best time of my life. Thank you Shane and all the crew.

Gentleman,

Check your home owner's policy. Some cover personal items. If you have an umbrella policy, then it will certainly cover the loss.

Good Luck.

Just got a call that my jacket was found. Very cool.

NIce. Glad you found your vest. It was nice meeting you on that trip Robbie. Hopefully we can fish together again sometime, especially when the fish are more cooperative!
