I don't think it is the end of the world. Fortunately the guy is OK.
But like mentioned in this thread, what do you do when you're the guy that finds all the gear - fear for the worst and call the CG, eh?

Gotta be a lot more to this than we'll ever know.
When I play it back in my head, (my idea of how it may have happened)....it just don't make sense.
Dudes' GOTTA have a lot of coin or something psycho going on in his head.
For $1,000.....how long would you stay on a gnat infested beach?
Not only leave your rod, but leave your plugbag and frogskin top? HUH??
I'm thinking he was on an Acid trip, ......got out there started fishing....then when he really started tripping, he thought the gnats were blood-s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g vampires coming to kill him.......he stripped down and ran for the hills.....they also found clothes scattered along the beach...  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Actually anyone who uses any type of VS, bailed or not, is a novice.

And I think we can safely say the same about those who use a Newell 
On top of that, What *(*^& is he doing at the Naps at the beginning of August. That's late November water, man. |

Jesus, it took long enough for someone to respond to a VS bash. Guys must be losing it here. Either that or they're all buying Saltigas....   |

That may be true but there are easier places to fish in August with no bugs, few people and no 1 1/2 mile r/t walk.
Novenber is the time to hit the Naps. Week before Thansgiving and the Big Girls will stack up around the corner. |

I'm sure that all of the self-styled internet experts here in this thread can tell you--they've doped it all out without even being there. Hell, he was using a bailed reel, after all.  |

Or maybe it's because he couldn't handle the situation he put himself in, he lost over $1000 and then left it behind - all without informing anyone.
If I lost that kind of gear, I'd head right over to the police station immediately in hopes someone found it and to be sure another surfcaster didn't find my gear with the thought of me being face down a mile out. |

Are you the guy?
I have certainly found myself in very scary situations - most due to me being stupid. |

Ahhhhhh...let it pass. After all, I think someone just compared me to a blind squirrel looking for his nuts.........which except for the bushy tail probably isn't too far from the truth.
