Combo monkey calling

nova385 · 05-16-10, 06:59 PM

So Im out Sat on the lake, go to change rods, grab one off the deck and BAM- a new Catalyst PT and a fenwick HMX right in the drink 15ft water.

Pretty sick feeling, I would have rather thrown it in. So off to BPS this week to replace it. Im thinking about another carbonlite combo. I have one of the reels now and seem to use it a lot.

should've dived in after it, what was the water temp.

nofearengineer · 05-16-10, 08:38 PM

Dang man....15 feet, I'm swimming for it.

Either that, or it's time to put the side imaging and some treble hooks to good use.

Bassboss · 05-16-10, 08:46 PM

How much You wanting to spend?

I don't know if they are still on sale but the abu garcia revo s on a bionic rod for 150 at bass pro. sweet combo for the money.

water was 54 but you can only see about 7ft down - 54 way to cold for me. plus no ladder on the boat to get back in- I maked it on the GPS maybe go back later with a buddy who is into diving.

Just tie on a big ol' treble hook with some weight and drag that spot a few times. With it only being 15' deep, you've got a good chance at dredging it back up.

I would have been swimming, figured if you jumped in right away you could probably grab it at 7-8 feet.

AUFred · 05-17-10, 10:08 PM

Heavyweight & large treble hook to the rescue. I have fished out quite a few over the years.

Like others said I would have went in after it.
