THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING @ LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jorluivil · 07-17-2011, 02:38 PM

My yak got sideways on me after I exited the yak during the landing and it got tossed. Quick recovery but I lost two complete setups, found one about 30min later but no luck on the second one. I don't recall which rod is the one that's missing but the reel is and older black Shimano Speedmaster with spectra. I thought I had them tied down but.................If it pops up please let me know.....thanks!!!

Bro that sucks! But remember to fish the day after, as good things will happen after an offering of gear to the WSB God!!

George has "pretty" undies......I'll let him explain

Its not as dirty as it sounds....really!

The donated rod and reel aren't worth much, the one that was found was a Shimano Cardiff Reel on a Shimano Teramar rod so I was happy when they found this one, 30minutes later. I'll justify not worrying about the other rod and reel: 20yr old reel with a loose handle on a Big 5 special fishing rod. yeah, yeah, yeah....I know, a loss is a loss but at least it wasn't my Teramar.

jorluivil · 07-18-2011, 03:01 PM

Just did my inventory....rod wasn't a Big 5 special....its a Fenwick Saltist.

A fenwick with a saltist reel? thats not a cheap combo, hope someone finds it and does the right thing for you

Nice double hookup by the way
