Thanks bro. I brought some extra gear to take my buddy fishing at LJ. He's a local there, but 1st time to fish there.

Crossing fingers~

Were you in a kayak or a portaboat? I helped out some guys that flipped their portaboat and they too yardsale'd it and lost a bunch of gear.

it was a rough landing yesterday, i don't have a mask or trunks with me, otherwise i'd be down there searching after work.

FishinKid...

That was us. We were in a Portabote. My friend is a sushi chef at Sushiya near Point Loma, and I was hoping to hook him up with a YT or WSB that day.

Were you the one who offered to lend me a snorkel mask? I should have taken the offer. After getting home I thought about it, and now I believe the camera, and the lost rods just sank straight down from the flip site.

I used to have a 8hp to get us through the surf zone with no problems, but this time I only had a 2hp, and my friend didnt want to paddle for his first time out. Entry timing was ok untill a huge wave built up far behind, and caught up to us too quickly. I had no more juice to avoid it. The stern just tilted, and lifted up in a matter of seconds, and flipped the 12x4 ft skiff.
I just took the motor apart today and it has a broken con-rod too.

Next time I'm paddling.

Anyway, if any of you come across some fishing gear or a dig camera in the surf... PLEASE PLEASE give me a call. If I can't ID the stuff. then its yours.

Thanks!

Yes, that was me with the snorkel mask. I usually carry one in my truck just in case for instances like these. If I ever yardsaled (knock on wood) I couldn't afford to replace my gear haha, so I always have one.

I'll be out there next week, so if by some miracle I find something I'll let you know. But you guys should definitely check with the lifeguard station incase somethings washed up.

Thanks bro~

Really appreciate it. I do mean it when I say I will reward.

And yea, I'm calling the life guard tower and LJ kayak rentals every day.
I might even have the exact point of the flip in my Garmin GPS...

Wish I could be back on the shores.

it was rather brutal there today
specially in the morning
tough launch

when i landed around 1:30
is was really crowded
tons of rentals in the zone
tons of swimmers too

having a swim mask and fins
is always a good idea
i bring mine now always

sorry bout ure lost gear
