I remember that. As I was paddling away from the bait dock, I hear splash!

You did stick it out James and fished all day.

Mike, if this event had actually happened, I would have been happy that you and your brother made it through the incident without losing more than just some gear. Just by telling the story, there will be some good that comes of this. Whenever something like this happens, dozens of other yakfishers take notice.

Some, after hearing your story, will be more careful the next time they are out on the water. Others may offer to help you replace some of the lost gear. Still others will offer useful advice to you and others which will help reduce the pain for the next guy who has a problem like yours.

Probably the best thing that has come from last Friday's adventure is that you and your brother have discovered BWE. Welcome to the family.

Bob

Must have all been a dream, Bob.

There's no fish in la Jolla!

Hey Bob-

Funny how my wife doesn't see the same humor in the story. For some reason, $2K gets brought up a lot more than the fish lost or our near death experience on the water... Definitely not getting a lot of luv to go get a bunch of brand new gear. Thinking used is likely the way to go.

Looking for good deals on the following-

- Rods + Reels for YT
- Sabiki rig
- Malibu Kayak 6 pt hatch
- Leatherman
- Surface and yoyo irons
- Gaff is taken care of- buddy at work heard the story, laughed his asssss off, then started the official Ryan Bros charitable donation...
- TIE DOWNS!!!

Mike

Mike, I would think that finding a way to tie things down to your yak would be near the top of your list. Here is the best rod leashing solution I have found so far.

I have to thank Fongman for this great rod leash idea. I modified his idea a bit so it works best for me. Go to Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe's or just about anywhere and pick up some tarp tie-downs. You can use them right out of the package or modify them as I did by adding a rubber sleeve which makes them rigid.

Attach them to every rod holder. When you have a rod in the holder, simply stretch the bungee over the reel handle and your gear will stay on board during just about any disaster. Here are some photos.

awesome read, thanks Bob!

Sorry about the mishap guys. It happens. Jasmin ate it the other day, pulled too hard on a kelp, on a side of the kayak. Got too comfortable on a new kayak. Broke off, got ejected on another side of the yak. Lost some gear. It sucks.

When it happens, we need to be there for each other and help out. Wear a life jacket!!!
You all had a great day, and no one was hurt.

Fishing Tale

The only reason you had this great experience is because I cancelled our Oceanside trip. You owe me! No pictures of your fish? Way to go Bob!

Wayne, if this were a true story, you would have missed out on a really fun day, (the Ryan brothers might have a different perspective). As for not having photos, sorry, but no one was around when I allegedly caught my fish.

You will just have to trust me on this one. Of course there is a chance that I made up the entire story... maybe not.
