Thought it would be a good idea to post up some lost and found, or anything you see. Maybe we can help reunite some of these things with the owners.

:moon: I lost my mind a few years ago. Does that count?
Over the weekend I talked to quite a few people who lost stuff. I felt bad for them. Thanks for starting this thread.
Feel free to post it up, whether you know the person or just saw it posted somewhere else. The more places we can get this info out, the better the chances of getting it back To them. :thumbsup:
Met a fisherman driving around looking for the owner. He brought the bag to the PP police station, but still wanted to get the word out to as many people as possible.
If you or someone you know lost a bag in that area, call the Point Pleasant police. Describe the bag you lost and it's contents, if it's yours you'll get it back.
Good karma to the guy who went above and beyond to try to return that bag to its owner. :clapping::clapping:
Someone sent this via e-mail.
Lost rod and reel.
Call Wally at (732)-458-3663
:clapping::clapping: for Wally!
Wally is a good friend and great guy:thumbsup:
Here's a tip ....just takes 5 min...but your name and contact number in your bag somewhere.:thumbsup:

It wasn't a high-end setup, but I'm sure whoever lost it is bummed out. For obvious reasons I can't give more details. We posted a note on my van with my phone # as we went fishin.
However, no one called me yet, and I would really like to see this returned to it's rightful owner. :thumbsup:
If you can contact me via PM or e-mail and tell me the street you lost it on and the make of the rod and reel, I'll be happy to return it.
If people read other message boards and want to post it up there as well, feel free. If I can't find the owner within 7-10 days, I'm gonna give it to someone I know who doesn't have much gear, or money to buy gear.
So please get in touch with me before I do that. Thanks, people.
Good mojo on you dark. I hope it gets back to whoever lost it.Quote:

Another 7 days and I'll be giving away to someone else, so I would really like to make sure no one is actively looking for it before I do. Thanks, all. :thumbsup:
I thought you had to hold it for 30 days before it becomes yours. At the end of the 30 I'll email you telling you it belongs to my long lost uncle Joe.:D
I'll do ya one better than that. If you can produce your long lost Uncle Joe, and he can tell me the street he lost it on, I'll give it back to ya with a brand new plug attached to it! ;) :HappyWave:Quote:

Still waiting for someone to claim that Platte River cap, though.
:clapping:That rod and reel belongs to me and it was returned to me on xmas eve by darkskies. Unbelievable. Thats all I can say.
I found a cell phone and fishermen's knife after fishing this morning, Monmouth county, Raritan Bay.
Phone: T-mobile
Knife: fisherman's knife, name brand
For obvious reasons I can't give more details. The phone looks like the battery died and may have some damage.
However, I believe the phone contacts may still be able to be transferred or downloaded. I really want to get this back to it's owner. My phone took a dump last week and it was a bummer to lose my contacts. :( I can imagine how this guy must feel.
Feel free to let anyone at any site out there know about this. If anyone can pm or e-mail me here at the site with details of the phone and knife, I'll do my best to get it back to ya ASAP.
Bump for this guy's phone. I'lll try to hold on to it for another 30 days before I get rid of it.
This was somewhere in Monmouth county today, in the afternoon, around 1pm. We and some others used it a few times to get our fish in, and realized as we went to leave that someone left it there.
I can't describe it for obvious reasons. If you or someone you know lost one on today 5-2 in that area, e-mail me with a description.
I would really like to see this net get back to it's rightful owner.:thumbsup:

This was sent to me by one of our members.
"Found some gear yesterday and would like to get it back. Tell me where you lost it and what you lost."
BillDude, a kayaker friend of mine, found some kayak gear on 10/7/10. If you lost it, please contact him and he'll be glad to return ASAP.
Good mojo on ya Bill!
The guy who lost it posted it on another forum. He lost it in Wildwood on Nov22, and hey, you never know, the more forums you post it on the better your chances are.
"Fishing in N. Wildwood today. Left the beach using the 1st Ave. exit. I lost my Aqua Skins surf bag somewhere along the way. It's the small, black, 4 tube bag, it had a wooden needle eel plug, krocodile, hopkins with a spro bucktail attached, x-rap lure, and 2 snag hooks. If anyone finds it, I would greatly appreciate its return. I'll even throw in a fishing trip by truck or boat to anyone who finds and returns it. You can reach me at: 609-425-9401.
Thanks!"
I saw this on another site, and maybe some one might be able to help this guy. His internet name is jlapenta, here is the post-
"Had a senior moment this week, left a cabellas tackle bag at Cliffwood Beach last Thursday evening. Had a couple of containers inside, one with tackle, second one with a few plugs, headlight, sweatshirt.
I know its a long shot, but I thought I'd put it out there, in case someone ran across (or over) it."
lost bag in AH, the guy posted on aother site
Reward if FOUND and RETURNED!!
Went Fishing out of the Highlands (108 Marina Bay Court) last week with Cpt Ray Burke of the Madd Gaffer. Had a great trip but left a small black tackle bag some where at the dock or in the parking lot. It had a lot of winter flounder rigs in it as well as some colored sinkers, circle hooks and leader material. I wouldnt be as upset about it if most of the winter flounder rigs in the bag weren't made by my father right before he passed. Any help in finding it would be greatly appreciated and rewarded. Thank you!! please email me at ConlonandCo@hotmail.com or call 610-385-3091 if it is found.
Good karma to you for posting that. He said those rigs were made by his father. He may never see that bag again but at least its worth a try. Thats one of the nicest things about this site, strangers trying their best to help each other.
Just a fyi, dudes, there is a $100 reward for that bag.Quote:

Its still out there some where... "
Found a kayak cart at the Allenhurst Boardwalk this afternoon. They are at the Police department. Call and describe them. 732 531-2255.
Capt loses tuna gear and dog when car is stolen.
Man if they took my car with my dog, God help them if they found them, I would break thier legs with a baseball bat! Ristori reported this on Tues. Hope you get the dog back, Capt. "Capt. Lou Grazioso of Striper Mania suffered more than a material loss when his car was stolen in Hazlet a couple of days ago, as his four-year-old yellow lab, Dusty, was in the car. Grazioso's tuna tackle, including Shimano rods and reels, was also in the car. Anyone hearing of Shimano tuna tackle being offered for sale by individuals should get in touch with the police and call Grazioso at 732 687-7673 as that clue could lead to recovery of the one thing he's most concerned about -- his dog."
Cart was claimed over the weekend. A fellow kayker who was with me when I found the cart was at Allenhurst over the weekend and saw a guy dragging his yak down the cement ramp. He made a suggestion to him about getting a cart. The guy replies that he had left it on the boardwalk at Allenhurst a few months ago. My fellow yaker told him I had found one and it was at the police station. The guy who lost his cart described it perfectly. He was one very happy and thankful kayaker!Quote:

^ Wow how much of a coincidence is that! Great story shorelady, may that act act of kindness bring you a giant fluke this season.
As the world turns, one good deed deserves another. Good for you shorelady, must be a great feeling to get that back to him.:clapping:
Judy is someone who has always been considerate and thoughtful of others. Great story on the return, Judy, thanks for sharing. :clapping: :thumbsup:
Nice to see something returned back to its owner, good job shorelady!
One of the Kayakers that came in at Monmouth Beach on Sunday 10/2 had a pretty rough landing and lost his mirage drive. (a mirage drive is about 3 foot long, has pedals and fins and propels hobie kayaks) They are also very expensive. If anyone finds it, please call him at 973-896-5377.
Very nice of ya to do that, Shorelady. :thumbsup:
In my travels the last 24 hours, I passed by there, no sign of the drive.
I'm thinkin it would be a good idea to post a sign up by the entrance there. Maybe I'll call him and suggest it. The thing is, when something like this happens, the intel needs to get out there ASAP, and delivered in different mediums. There are many out there who have no use for the internet and are there every day. I talked to 3 such fishermen this morning. If they found something like that they would be more than happy to get it back to John, if they only knew he was looking for it.
Thanks as always for doing your part. :HappyWave:
Good mojo on you guys for trying to get the guy his stuff back.

The owner of the drive (JKAY) finally got slim's number from the kayaker (Gus) that Slim had talked to. Slim had been dealing with a death in the family and will contact JKAY (the owner of the drive) very soon to meet him and return it. The magic of the internet and word of mouth! Thanks to so many people for asking others about the drive!
^ Good news, the drive was returned, I found this report-
UPDATE - The drive was returned today. I was finally able to meet up with Slim today and he had the drive with him. He found it over a mile north of where I crashed in the surf. I gladly parted with the $100 reward that I promised him and gave him a bunch of thank you's. He then said, "let me show you some of the rivers and creeks in the area." I spent the next 75 minutes following him around to some great looking fishing grounds that had kayak launches right there or nearby. What a great guy. I got an off-the-water guide service to boot.
