2 broken tips on my fly rods. 1 was replaced by Sage for $40. handling. The other was my grandfathers and I still need to fiqure out how to fix it. Something on my Jeeps suspension driving some road near Tashmoo. I think that is it.

So far i've lost an iPhone with no insurance available, broke 1 surefire flashlight and lost another one on a different set of rocks.
I've heard stories of some VS pliers being found on a beach so it got me thinking about what others have lost while fishing.

How do you break a Surefire?
Lost, yup. I had one swiped.
But broken?

I took a good fall on rocks and smashed it just right, it's not broken just not operating. I believe its the body that not working properly and im only saying that because the lamp,batteries and tailcap operates fine on a different body which leaves me to rule out the body as being defective.

that's what happens when you molest plovers!;)

first night trip of the season, I dropped a brand new trolling motor battery off the dock..... Mid summer I lost a Dwalt 18 volt cordless off the same dock...

Lost 5 or 6 plugs (1 Habs needle on 9/22 :(), a couple of tins and broke the insert on the top guide of a Lami. Probably would have been a little more if I had got out as much as I would have liked.

Swimmer 11-28-2007 10:22 AM

My mind................:tm:I'll find it, I just know it.

piemma 11-28-2007 02:20 PM

Not this past year but my biggest equipment loss was a brand new
10' honey blank Lami wrapped by Dave Hammock at Murats. I had it leaning up against the back of my truck and a bunch of the Thundermist Striper Club guys came into Murats. Someone said something about getting coffee and I said I'd make the run.

Yep, you can guess the rest....:wall:

Not hard to do. Fish 100 nights and lose one jig a night, with the tax---you're almost there.

dislocated shoulder, loss a VS 150 and a 9 ft J Kennedy Fisher after getting swept off a jetty Sept 21 2006. Plug bag I tossed on the rocks and a friend grabbed. Just glad to be here and still fishing

Rob Rockcrawler 11-29-2007 08:09 AM

All of my striper mojo this year. :crying:

johnny ducketts 11-29-2007 08:23 AM

about a dozen lures. to blues, false albies, and that errant cast you get when the bail closes on you. It's really enjoying to watch a 20.00 plug go hurtling towards the vineyard, and there's nothing you can do about it.

piemma 11-29-2007 10:01 AM

easy way to solve the problem:Remove the bail and put a manual pickup on the reel...

My worst season in the last 3. Started bad, stayed bad, ended bad. Been in analysis mode for the last month. Think I have a handle on it. Looking forward to next spring already!
