I was fishing at Breezy point yesterday and left a pair of VS pliiers in the parking lot. They had initials engraved in them and a date. I know there is a slim chance but if anyone finds them I would appreciate a heads up. They were a gift from my Dad. Thank you.

This guy lost 2 inflatable PFDs. On another site, his name is m5n465. Either contact him directly if you know him or pm me for the details. His post--

"Hi All, stupidly I left 2 manual inflating CO2 West Marine PFDs on the dock yesterday evening at Millburn Creek Ramp in Baldwin/Freeport while loading my boat on the trailer, and left them there. $25 reward for anybody who picked them up and returns them. Thanks"

Lost in LI
Found on another site, the guy lost it on the south shore.



"if there are any good samaritins out there I lost a plug that has a lot of sentimental value to me. It's a saltys conrad jr. painted gold with gold surf candy tail hook. If you get it back to me, I'll make you one of your choice." Thanks. Rich 516 680-8061

Rod and reel lost 2 miles S of Atlantic Beach in the ocean -
(not mine, just trying to help this guy)


I lost my 7' Tiger - Ugly Stick and Saltist 20 reel on July 3, 2011

This could only happen to me

I was fishing in about 40 feet of water south of the atlantic beach inlet about a mile south of the bell bouy

I had 2 lines out with live bunker and wanted to get closeer to the bunker pod. I reeled in the rod I lost and threw the bunker back in. and left the rod leaning against the gunwale with the hook dangling in the water and the sinker on the gunwale. I had another rod on the opposite side of the boat also with a live bunker on it. The bunker swam under the boat and up to the surface on the opposite side of the boat and somehow got the hook that was dangling in the water. I started reeling in the line and heard ker- plunk. I reeled in the other rod. I saw the hook on the line for a second and then it was gone. My favorite Bass Rod and reel. If anyone snags it or catches it I would love to get it back. It has sentimental value it was my Dad's rod. I saw someone else posted the lost their rod so I thought I'd do the same. You never know....

Thanks...John

Another needle in a haystack, but maybe someone will find it and get in touch with this guy. Posted on another site.

Fished north side of montauk last night and lost my watertight plastic bottle with hooks and cigarettes...not worth a lot of money but it was given to me by my fishing mentor...
Will give reward in new unobtainable BEACHMASTER plugs!!!

Lost to King Posideon.....VS 200 (silver) with St Croix Legend 10'6" rod....

I just got a call from my friend Antero.
He fishes in SI.
Today a friend of his was bait fishing at Great Kills. A boat came by too close and snagged the line, taking the rod and reel into the deep......

The guy who lost the rod is devastated to say the least...
$1000 worth of gear lost in one brief moment in time....

If anyone comes across it or knows of any intel about someone who recovered it....
The owner's name is Mark....his internet handle is PassionForFishing....

I have a contact phone # if anyone needs it...and I'm told there will be a reward if found.....
Thanks people....:thumbsup:

mighty expensive snot slinging outfit,

Yeah dark no offense but a $1000 setup to sling snot?
I feel sorry for him but he should at least have been near or holding his rod.

I'll never understand guys who use $1000 in gear to bait fish for schoolies. to each his own I guess. Hope he gets it back.

Someone lost a pair of chota boots at montauk, his screen name is seasand. Hope he gets them back


Upon leaving Friday morning in a haste I left my Chota boots in the lower lot at Light House. If any one picked them up or has information on the boots it is appreciated. They were a gift and only used for this week.

Posted by schoolman on noreast. If not ok to post here please delete.

I realize that this is the fishing report section, but I figured this would be the best way to help out a long time - good friend, who has misplaced a valuable item. A Canon DSLR 50D camera was "possibly" left @ the DEC Forge Pond/Peconic River launch ramp on June 22nd (???). If you or anyone of your friends has seen the camera as mentioned, please contact me through a PRIVATE MESSAGE on this site. I am quite sure that you will be justifiably rewarded and, at the very least, you'll be appreciated by the friends of St. Anthony. Thank you.-Jerry McGrath :-) <:)))))>< :-)

He lost a tsunami and abu to a shark hope it gets reunited with it again
"Fishing today Jones Beach Field 6, must have had a large shark, but I forgot to set my drag and my rod and reel shot straight into the water. 99.9% of the time I set my drag, this is the .1% of the time I didn't. The rod shot right into the water at about 90 mph. If you happen to run across a Tsunami rod with an Abu Garcia reel please call or text me at 516-610-4839."

That has to be at least 15,000 dollars worth of tackle! sounds like he was targeted or someone knew him that he had all that stuff, hope you find it and they prosecute those creeps.
