So.... anyone?

About 20yrs ago I was fishing pogy chunks and I had to take a leak so I prop up my rod with a pile of rocks and go into the woods to to do my business.As I'm walking back I see my rod starting to double over and promptly come out of my little rock pile and enter the ocean never to be seen again.
I rarely bait fish anymore but on the rare occasion when I do the rod is in a good quality sand spike.And I haven't drank and fished in many years anyway which eliminates the need to go for a walk.
