lost rod & reel at the shores

I guess the only good news is that your father-in-law will owe you a favor for life now.

There ought to be a lot of items there right now after all the flips. Hopefully it shows up!

Yup, an original P-series my dad picked up in the 80s. Damn good reel.

as for where it got lost was just to the south of the wood pylons...maybe 20 yards. I shuffled around that area for a good hour with no luck. Funny how currents and waves can make something as big as a rod and reel disappear in seconds.

Here's a picture of the rod.

thanks again for keeping an eye out.

Thanks! I would be amazed if it were found. By the way, I insist on a reward if it does get recovered! $$$

Dude, that's rough. Sorry to hear that. I lost my GoPro right there, too. Got lucky and found it though in about 6 ft of water.

Sorry mike on getting back to ya late... but i didn't find any go pro's or anything else for that matter floating or sunk around... including my reel.

on a brighter note, i found a newell 229 p series for sale on ebay out of florida. 200$ got it yesterday and i'm pretty sure it's been in a garage its entire life. stoked on the find. just hope the yellow tail hang around long enough for me to break it in.
