Best tackle find

[sarg]

Hi all,

Wondering what your best find is? The reason I ask is I lost an outfit years ago it was a Calcutta 250:'( and a 6kg live fibre rod:'( I was >:( but I expect that the person who found it was ;D .

I lost it at Coochin my brother locked his keys in the boot of his car so we had to take the back seat out to get in there and somehow it was left out when everything went back in. Curious if anyone on here found it? My dad found a 15kg overhead/boat setup at moogerah (why they needed that I dont know), and about 15 lures, when it started to dry up years ago and we found an old ski boat that had sunk about 10 years before near the mouth of the gorge up there as well.

the best I ever found was an rusty hook and sinker :)

At hervey bay i used to always find lures. At walkers point (Near Woodgate) there a few rocks exposed at low tide and when i am down there i quite often find wire traces there, some already set up with a set of gangs:o

This would be going back near ($h!t)20yrs for me.

I used to have a lil 12ft tinny with a 6hp on it, My thinking at the age of 11 or 12
was that dads boat couldn't go up up the smaller canals on the gold coast so I would fish sith some success. I was forever out on the water driving around looking for new spots to fish and land that Troghy Flatty or whiting.

One day I was trying to get the tinny through this very shallow and narrow underpass. As I was up the front of the boat trying to paddle my way through
looking into the water to see how deep it was, I saw this ladies beauty case.

First thought was there is going to be a head or something in it,
Ever so nervously I pick it up and opened it, Let me tell you this lil fella
could not beleive his eyes. it was full and I mean full of gold jewelery.
Glistening in the sun with water covering it. The first thing that came to mind was I had found treasure. To say I was over the moon would be an understatement. 6 Knots what 6kn's!!!!!!!!!! I had that lil tinny pinged until I got back home.

End of the day we reported to the police, it was never claimed and was return
to us how ever many months later. The Down side was that is was all cosmetic
jewelery and was all corroded and not worth a cent.

Not tackle, but to this day I can still remember that feeling when I opened it up.

Not a really impressive story but I remember losing a lure to a jack then about 10 mins later finding a more expensive lure tangled amongst some rocks that some other poor person had lost.

Not really a find but surprising none the less...My best find was when i bought my shimano curado and T-curve baitcaster combo from #######. The combo was priced at $500 which i thought wasn't too bad a price as I needed a new one.

I went through the checkout and paid via eftpos not even looking at the price I paid..when i got home to photo copy the receipt(which i always do for warrantly etc as the originals fade) I found out for some reason I was only charged $19.95 for the whole thing.I didn;t even look at the eftpos machine when i was paying for it.

My conscious is sort of getting the better of me and im contemplating heading back and telling them..But i live in central QLD and its a 2 hour drive back....I'll see how i go.

Obviously someone has stuck the wrong barcode on it..which brings me to thinking. how many people are overcharged for stuff that the ####### staff have wrongly barcoded?

G'day
Good find flex. I dare say, because you had paid for it, I dont think they'd be allowed to charge you the correct amount, because it was their fault.

Give them a call maybe.... you never know?

Nearly right.
An item's price ticket is only an advisory notice of the price of the item. You have the right to pay more or offer less then the ticketed price.
Not many people pay more but lots haggle to go lower.
Once it's gone through the checkout or the price is placed in the till the item is considered sold for that amount.
So in short Flex, the item is yours fair and square. ;D
