Awesome Day!!! (sarcasm alert)

Precisely 40 minutes ago I thought it would be a great idea to take a break from work and fish a tailout close to my house for steelhead. 38 minutes ago I was at the river and walking to the tailout with one rod and one spinner. Three or four casts into fishing I hit bottom, get snagged and have to break off. As I'm walking back, contemplating my bad luck, I remember I have a bobber and jig in my truck and get excited to resume fishing. 10 minutes later I'm standing in perfect position to fish the tailout with new found hope. I see the perfect line to cast into and... BAM!!! bobber and jig are in a tree and i have to break off again. I think I better be done fishing today.

I was halfway expecting you to say your DB sunk again. Based on what you just described, probably a good thing that stayed home today. Ya know, with the bad luck and all.

Funny; I was thinking of another DB mishap too. Glad it was only trouble w/ gettin' your line wet (and NOT yourself).

I HATE when that happens, earlier this summer I was slumming it on the bank and got a 25 dollar lure snagged on the bottom... To make a long story short, I went in the drink after it and got it back! Luckly it was july

Sorry to hear, I cannot fish from the bank anymore. Lose too much stuff. Well maybe just drift fish with corkie/bait not much $ lost if busted off.

 

[troutmasta]

If your not loosing spinners your not fishing deep enough..???:dohmy attempt at comfort)

 

[Troutski]

Great story to be sure, it is great that we can share even the worst possible scenarios on this site. I think I know the area you were fishing in and have left some serious money on the bottom as well, thanks for the story and best of luck on your return....

I would have gone in for a $25 lure too. Maybe even in January?

I kind of had some inverse days of that situation this last summer....sometimes I drug in more of my lost tackle lost on previous trips than what I had with me!

One week I bent over to do something and lost my sunglasses that were setting on the brim of my hat, they washed down into a riffle and I thought "oh, well". The next week while fishing the same hole I snagged a wad of old line and drug it in and there were my sunglasses wrapped up in the snarl of fishing line....I guess sometimes you when a few!
