Lessons Learned the hard way!!! FAIL
Biggest Bream FAIL Yet
Hi crew So my fishing and social time is very limited in Summer as I am on call 3 weekends out of 4 for 6 mths of the year. I try to make the most of it by ensuring our family camps on that off weekend and I attach extra leave to make it a good break. I also take the kids fishing before and after on call duties with it being a limited opportunity, before 9am and after 6pm. So I had been home on call all day yesterday, on call by my self as the family and 2 of my daughters friend's went out roller skating for my daughters B'Day. My job was to take the boys fishing once off call, so my daughter could have uninterrupted time with her friends. Its a hard job I know but some one has to do it. I had been watching YouTube fishing vids all day and I was keen to take the boys for an hour and a half. In the arvo I quickly smashed out all my wife allocated duties Ha Ha Ha Ha and loaded the rig with the yaks in preparation. The family +2 arrived home and I eagerly watched the clock like a race car driver awaits the flag drop. As soon as it was time we were off, its only a 5min drive so its a perfect spot. We arrived and I quickly unloaded and rigged up and sent the boys out first with me tailing behind. Josh was quick on the bite but couldn't manage to hook up, might have had some thing to do with the monstrous curly tail worm he insisted on using. I offered to re rig a deep diving hard body for him and that when things went south! Well that's the history behind yesterdays epic FAILED session! Watch the vid to see what happened!

Maybe you could have snagged the rod back with another rod with a vibe on it.

No mate I didn’t but I know where it is. To deep to dive need some other method.
Just the method I was needing, cheers.

Seems we have all done it. The rig in the "test" image is a Daiwa Gekobijin, together costing around $900. It replaces the exact same rig lost out of a boat rod holder after only three casts, or about 30min. after launch to try out the new rod!! did a coupla casts , decided to move, motored about half km fast and turned around to grab it out of the holder.....gone!!!Got ....I now lay them down onthe deck.
After reading many sad reports of losses now only stow rod in the tubes on the PA14. Just yesterday cast a lure, heard a "pop" and 3" gone off the tip of a Pflueger Patriarch that cant be replaced. Found the tip, put it on the gunwale and promptly brushed it off never to be seen again $@#t happens.........mostly to me😎 |

That coupled with say 20 mtrs of high test rope on a small hand caster (the 12 ball bearing models seem to work best imho), or just having a tackle back already set up, where you can cut it off and throw the grappling hook onto it when the dire circumstances require.
That little grappling hook would be an assuring thing to carry especially with a sunk rod.

Mark, I received your PM. Very generous mate, awesome, PM’ed back to you. Thanks mate, I am trying to make my reports and vids as interesting as possible. The vid has been a great success, reminding everyone how easy it is to loose gear, provided a good laugh for those that have done it in the past and yet to do it LOL and brought out the awesome generosity that exists with in the Bream fishing community.

Oh mate, since I’ve posted this to YouTube I’ve heard so many heart braking story’s, it’s providing some great knowledge to avoid future errors how ever. Cheers and mate sorry your rod got tipped that sucks.
