68camaro Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Yesterday on lunch went to local fishing pier to play around with new reel, I had my tackle box in Jeep but just took small plano box with all my spinner/buzz baits with me along with rod. Left tackle box in jeep. Got to pier, made about 5 casts and started talking to some guy who was there. We spoke about 20 minutes and then I needed to get back to work. I picked up rod and left and didn't realize until 9 at night I left plano box on pier. Went back today and its gone. On the negative side I need to replace about $100 in lures, on the positive side I get to go shopping...... 4 Quote
Bassin' Brad Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 On the positive side you seriously made someone's day. Someone said "I found a plano box with $100 worth of spinner and buzz baits, it's my lucky day!" For reals though I feel for ya. 2 Quote
Super User RoLo Posted May 19, 2017 Super User Posted May 19, 2017 OUCH! We've all had our turn in the barrel, at least you have the right attitude Quote
lonnie g Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 wow that really stinks. hopefully its an honest person and turns it in to the sheriffs department or puts ad in local paper. wishing you a better year. Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted May 19, 2017 Super User Posted May 19, 2017 You have a great attitude...maybe....just maybe the guy you were talking to will have seen it and have it for you when you fish the pier again. I might try and be there on the same day and time as when you lost it. Good luck 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 19, 2017 Super User Posted May 19, 2017 Bummer. Don't for get to take the Bait Monkey with you when you go shopping. Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Well if they werent Cavitrons or Megastrikes spinnerbaits they are probably still there-or kicked in the river- If they were someone made out like a bandit- LOL Ok keep your shirts on people-- Ive heard of guys losing tackle or getting it stolen-if you need anything just jive a holla -we can help out a fellow BR member 1 Quote
2tall79 Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Great time to take up lure making. Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits are among the easiest to master and customize. I don't pour my own but there are many lure bodies available both painted and unpainted. Good luck! Quote

I hope the person who has them has better luck with them than I did....LOL 10 hours ago, Oregon Native said: I might try and be there on the same day and time as when you lost it. I will definitely do this.... Thanks all for support...this will one day make good fishing story.......I have to admit if I found the box, I would have brought to the little marina next store and asked to put in lost and found.
