Things I've Lost from my Yak

Looks like it's time to wear a leash on those wedding rings.  Simply attach a loop of 60# braid around the ring and attach the other end to a silicon wrist band. 

Fling away!     

Isn't a wedding ring kind of a leash in and of itself? 

Found what you need to keep your ring on your finger!

some bummer stories here folks....sorry for all the losses.
 I too have lost some things from my yak...and will continue this trend.
 I lose all the stress of my daily life,
 I lose track of time while on the Yak,
 I lose the cabin fever our long, wet winters can bring.
 These are the things that mean more to me than any small monetary loss I can think of.
 rock hard...walk hard...Yak hard

 That is very well said.......and I agree totally.

Dropped something last weekend, but still can't figure out what it was LOL

Fish bonker and compass at PC a couple of weeks ago. Stupid partial hulis...

Spool of 30# pline.  It's in the video of my surf landing/crash and mocks me.

I was snorkeling and spearfishing out of my 13' Trident, and a friend who was rod fishing paddled over to say hi.  As he was leaving, he accidently dropped one of his rods in the water.  I swam over, and could barely see it on the bottom.  I unloaded the bands from my speargun, took the spear off the gun, lowered the spear on its leash, and managed to catch the rod with the barb and pull it to the surface on my first try.  That'll never happen again.  Hopefully the lost rod won't happen again either - my friend has become religious about attaching his rods to his kayak with leashes.  Now I need to persuade him to figure out a way to attach his tackle boxes to his kayak before he loses them.

Being relatively new to the sport, I  haven't lost anything, but last Thursday I got started. During a brief break in the crazy storms that rolled through, I thought it would be a good idea to go out to Dash point. (That sentence should be a long story, but I'll spare you...)
Anyway, I end up at the State park with a buddy, and we have the entire park to ourselves. I wheeled down to the water and prepared to launch on surprisingly calm water. I usually strap the wheels to the boat, but I we were alone, and didn't expect to be out long because of the approaching rain.  So I just left them under a picnic table. We came back  an hour later and they were gone.
It was totally my own fault for being lazy and leaving them on the beach for somebody to "find," but that doesn't really keep me from feeling like I got robbed. Lesson learned I guess!

Thats sucks.  Thats why I went with the C-Tug which isn't perfect but it DOES break down to where I can stow it up forward.....

 This is likely a first, but I lost 5 dozen duck decoys of assorted flavors this morn... I still want to cry. I had all 5 doz in a mesh deek bag loaded in a sled kind of like a little green plastic Jon boat. I tied the rope handle to the back of my predator no different than we've been doing all season. About half way to the blind I looked back to check on the deeks that were no longer there. Went looking for over an hour, but no dice. Between the dark, fog, wind, and tide, they were gone. I went back to the launch to spread the word amongst the other hunters in PB's and offered a reward, but still no deeks nor phone calls as of yet. Then could only manage one little teal since I had no deeks to lure them in. Expensive little bird...

Brutal. Sorry man.

Rav, that totally sucks.  Sorry for your loss.  5 dozen is a lot of decoys to lose.

That really really suck. 5 dozen escaped decoys should be easy to spot and picked up by someone. Hope they get back to you.

Thanks, I'm hoping for the best but not holding my breath. Pretty deflating,  but went back for some quack yak redemption today and hammered out a limit.
