lost rod and reel

[Falcone]

I remember a year or so back i was fishing on the north pier at Seaham on the drum, i heard a boat coming out so i walked around the lighthouse to let the boats occupants see me. once i was sure that he had seen me i sat back down , but to my horror the boat came belting out and ran straight into my line ripping the rod from the stand. i grabbed hold of it, luckily i had the drag set but as the boat pulled and i tried to pull back the drag let a lot of line out and i was left with a 6 inch gash in my hand.
Not a pleasant afternoon, i would of been gutted to lose my reelsport response, and even more gutted to lose my hand.

Nice one Micky, I wonder what the odds of anyone reeling them in would of been, never mind that person being honest enough to hand them in.

Great result - there's loads of good lad and lasses out there still, young and old. Fantastic.

A tourist lost a wallet containing Ł800 at Cresswell I think, recently - went straight to the Polis and it had been handed in with nowt missing. Tourist person said he knew it was worth giving the cop shop a try as he trusted the good nature of us Northerners (he might have used the word ge**rdies actually )

well done to the person who handed the rod ect in

Hope you get your gear back, always worth disengaging the gears on the reel and shoving the ratchet on if your reel is fitted with one !
