It was 7 PM, already had a 3 footer follow and decided to finish the night trolling. 10" Jake at 6 ft. and a 10" Slammer shad diver at about 15' running the break in 25 to 35' depth. Everything felt right. Watching graph, hmm some nice baitfish, whoa BIG arc, zip, zip, zip…

Before I could get to the rod, I saw it fly out of the Salty rod holder, everything gone, blink of an eye. @#$%!!!

I have to say I'm not nearly as mad about the $300 at the bottom of the lake as I am about not seeing that fish.

Woe is me.

Poppy. I had kind of joked before about diving for baits in my dry suit, But if you have Idea where it went down I would love to get it back for you! I know the fish will move it a bit, but it might get hung up close to the lost point. If you want to work on it PM me. I will be heading out of town on Mon, but will be back on Thur Eve.

Total bummer… A salty??? Do you think it might not have been seated all the way in?

I would go back to that area and take a look around for sure.

That sucks for you but maybe more for the fish… I hope the fish can get itself detached from the lure.

I know, like I said, not worried about the gear, more about the fish. I hope it shook the hooks. I'm going back tomorrow for a look.

I don't think the holder was seated right at all.

I would dredge the area with a rope and weighteed hook of some kind. Should be easy to find a line and a floating lure. I just went back on a lure I lost on Murray and got it back. I also removed the Weighted Milk jug and rope depositing it on the beach of the guy who put it there. The jug was three feet under the surface. Mike

I've got some dive gear if you would like me to take a look. All so where I've hit snages. I've took a small peace of chain and tied it to some rope. them hooked some fish hooks to the chain and draged it around and pulled up the snage.

I'm going back with an AquaView this afternoon to see if there is any sign. I update later.
