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
