How far have you gone?

carzy, not for me......................keep my toes dry for a couple of bucks, i do agree about exposed tackle top marks for trying to retrieve it!!!

Not a lure, but an ancor for me..
Had an overnighter in the Hawkesbury river NSW as a younger bloke.. In the morning the tide had turned us and wedged the anchor onto something and it was not coming back
Anyway, I had a pair of goggles like the swimmers use in the front hatch of the boat, so after a good nap I decided that as daylight improved I would put the goggles on, and dive down along the anchor rope to try and free the anchor.

How stupid was that ? the place is full of tiger sharks..
Down I went, the sounder said 25 foot, it felt like 50 and half way down a 2 foot hammer head said hello, I warded him off with a rear passage discharge, and decided I could afford a new anchor. Cut the rope and let the boat moving with the current to assist my exit... stage up !!

As Nagg said "no one gets left behind"(which has no relationship with the USMC.Watching to many movies).Even go to the extent of walking the shore of Arthurs Lake etc retrieving lures when the water levels drop off.Its bloody amazing what you pick up,they stay in reasonable condition in the cold fresh down here.
Have fun
