Re: Fess Up! 2013 Bloopers and Blunders
I was fishing up in the 1000 islands in about 60' of water back of the boat. The current was swift, both anchors out holding bottom. I go to sidearm cast, bait hits the anchor line, sling shots the pole out of my hand into the water! Whoever said cork handles will float the rod.... Wrong! To the bottom it goes! So I get out the back up rod, hit the tackle box for 8oz of lead, 2/0 hooks, yes about 4 and start fishing for my pole at the bottom! After 30 minutes i am at the "just 1 more cast" stage. So give it the ole college try, and I feel something at the end of the line, and not just 8oz of lead. I managed to hook the bail on the reel and up from the bottom comes my fishing pole!
A little WD drenching and it's back in action!
