StarLost Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 As I was cycling in the Guelph area this week, I found something that one of our bass fishing colleagues seems to have lost. It appears that some equipment was blown out of the back of a truck or a boat. In all, I recovered 56 crankbaits and spinnerbaits along with a couple of carriers. There was no identification in the carriers, but if you can sort of identify what I have found and perhaps where I found it ... I priced out what I found and it looks like about $400-$450 worth of gear. Since I'm a fly fisherman I know how I'd feel at the loss. You can contact me at [email protected] . Please, only serious and honest responses. Cheers all
mbosh1980 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) its not mine, but you sure are a standup guy for trying to get it back to its owner Edited August 18, 2009 by mbosh1980
hockeyplayerz_14 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Thats very nice of you to do that. I bet if you loose your stuff they will do the same. Good luck
TC1OZ Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 That is very admirable of you! It's nice to know there are other genuinely good people out there!
Radnine Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 You are doing such a wonderful thing that I am not even going to carve you over being a fly fishing type. Welcome to the board! Jim
rbaquial Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Its always nice to see that there are still some decent people out there - Good on you dude for doing the right thing! .... Now go play the lottery, and share your winnings with us! .... (Karma)

Muskieman Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Let's start off by saying "WELCOME ABOARD THE BOARD" !!!! Honesty and Integrity are traits that someone acquires . Hope you stick around...Good on you. If ever I lose anything of value I hope that someone like you finds it. Can't really help you with the find.......but if there are no takers you can get an inexpensive spinning combo and start a new way of angling. CHEERS right back to you!! RFS
GBW Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 WOW, good on you! I hope you get your good deed back 10x as you deserve it for what you are doing. oh and welcome to the site too!

Lunatic Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 56 crank baits. whoever lost it,must be a very serious fisherman.or he has been collecting for along time
danbouck Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 56 crank baits.whoever lost it,must be a very serious fisherman.or he has been collecting for along time 56 lures is what falls outta my boat glove box when I open it. Don't tell my wife!
Garry2Rs Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 I have seen plastic boxes levitate from the floor of a bass boat and fly away... Fortunately I was checking the mirror at the time and was able to go back and get them.
ohhenrygsr Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 is it ok if i post this on other fishing forums?
ohhenrygsr Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 We should have a lost and found section
JohnF Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 is it ok if i post this on other fishing forums? Hell no! I'm tryin' to collect enuf clues to convince him they're mine. JF
StarLost Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Posted August 19, 2009 is it ok if i post this on other fishing forums? I've posted this on a couple of others that I know, but no honest response yet so, yes, feel free to pass it around. But, honestly guys, enough of the accolades especially for someone you don't know. To the fellow who suggested about Karma, thankyou and I can only hope that the good seeds watered in this life really do have a positive effect, if not in this life then perhaps the next (just so happens I am buddhist so I understand the concept fully, just don't go on too much about killing fish ... I'm mostly catch and release). As for honesty ... well, remember no good deed goes unpunished. I try to be honest to a fault, but even I have spent some time as a guest of Her Majesty the Queen by right of the Province of Ontario ... By the by ... I'm giving this about a couple of weeks to resolve itself. After that, I have a nephew that looks to score a few ... little rat even had the gall to remind about "birthdays I had missed" ... damned starving university students !!!
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 let us know if you find the owner! classy move friend.
