LostAnotherOne Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Its happened to me a few times where your cruising along the shore making casts and you look down and find something cool. I've found many lures, but two years ago found a cool leather jacket and sunglasses that I'm sure weren't cheap. Have you guys found anything cool while fishing?
limeyangler Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 I found an unexploded World War II incendiary bomb on the shores of the River Thames in London, England, the cops and everything showed up. I also had a collection of clay pipes and roman coins I would also find.
i2cool2fool Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 I have only been blessed to occasionally find inner peace. Sadly, it was lost when I went back to work.
Musky or Specks Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 I found a green frog suick while Musky fishing I already had the exact same one so I gave that one to my fishing buddy. Lost mine about two weeks later. I think he's caught at least 15 musky on that thing and it's still his go to bait. Another friend snagged a dead guy on Pittock something I always dread finding.
manitoubass2 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 old native pipes when the water went really really low about 4 years back. megessi (eagle) feathers which are very valuable here(in a spiritual sense) I found a old johnson motor about 5 years ago hundreds of lures and old rapalas. nothing too awesome oh we stopped on some random island on an inland lake for a shorelunch. and somebody had put an electrical outlet on a tree, and my daughter tried to plug her phone in. hahahaha that was awesome
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Found a flat bed 3500 Dodge Ram once in Whitehorse. It had been stolen and burnt in the woods beside a portage between two lakes. We went on to our destination and went fishing, then reported it to the RCMP when we got back to town. The desk SGT started giving me grief for waiting so long to report it. I told him it was burnt and the fire was out. It wasn't going anywhere and wasn't a danger to the woods. I said there was no way I was giving up a day fishing to go back to town to report it. I also said with the attitude I was getting you can bet yer a$$ I won't bother to make a report if I come across another crime. He changed his tune after my tirade and all was good.

Old Ironmaker Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 While stealthily maneuvering along on Lake Bernard we came across a canoe with 2 beautiful 30 something women sound asleep music blaring, with nothing on but lotion. I didn't have the heart to wake them, my idiot buddy did. He wasn't such an idiot after all as he made a date with one an was MIA that night.
Acountdeleted Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Was working on Lake Wilcox when I just started and we happened to pull a sawed off shotgun out of the water. I thought it was just a kids toy. When the cops came they confirmed that it had, indeed, been used to comit a crime and then was dumped there. Good thing it was jammed with sand when I was toying around with it.

lew Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Years ago my grandparents owned a water front home up in the n/w corner of Simcoe. I was fishing out in front of the house one day back in 1961 and found a wallet floating in the water and inside was $37 cash along with all the usual stuff. The owner lived in Toronto so I called him to tell him I'd found his wallet. He was obviously happy and asked if I could mail it back to him and for me to keep $7 for myself. Doesn't sound like much now but 53 years ago $7 was a big wad of loot to a kid. Like everyone else who spends time on the water I've found lots of other things floating around but that wallet is something I've always remembered.
Garnet Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Found a 14 ft princecraft on Lake Scugog a mid sixty's model. Learn to never turn anything in police. Found a Yamaha 25 hp tiller on Balsam Lake that I owned in 30 days. Un fortunately blown up.
lew Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Found lots of Tims cups!!! Ain't that a sad truth.
Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Last May when the water was really cold and it was very windy I was fishing for pike and walleye when I saw a canoe in the middle of the lake, thought to myself I'd never be crazy enough to canoe in those waves when the water was this cold. I was driving past and noticed nobody was in it, figured it blew loose off somebody's dock. Went over to see and noticed rods, a cooler of beer and a radio still going inside, plus a life jacket, but nobody inside. Went looking in the direction it was blowing from and after a few minutes found a guy's face poking up out of the waves, boy was he happy to see me! He was so cold he could barely talk and I had to pretty much carry him back to his house where his wife promptly gave him crap. No life jacket, wearing jeans, boots and a sweater, he probably only had a few minutes left before he was going under for good. That was my best find. Didn't catch anything that day but I didn't mind, that was enough action for me. I've also found rods, clothing, a boat ladder, lures, etc...while trolling for lakers.
Beavertail Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Dontcryforme.....wow, that's one lucky dude. Good on you for investigating further. I spent some time in the water after flipping a canoe, also in early May so I know what was going through that guys mind - not a fun experience.
Acountdeleted Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 We fished a woman out of the inner harbour in Toronto in mid February. Thankfully she was still alive and she made it. She was just very cold. She told us she was trying to swim to Rochester to see family. We learned later from the police that she had escaped from her 'place of care' and that they were looking for her.
BillM Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Was fishing Lake Gibson the day Leslie Mahaffy was found, not something I like to remember.
fishindevil Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 2 bodies while ice fishing on lake scugog as well as a few boats a canoe a paddle boat and many things I have taken off the lake while I was fishing like beer bottles and barrels and even floating lawn chairs !!!! The list just keeps going .... But the seeing the 2 dead guys that drown was not nice when they pulled them up ..... I seen it all and will never forget that .....
lew Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 My brother used to be a volunteer fireman and they got called out one night when someone heard screaming coming from the ice on Scugog. Ed & 3 others drove to the shore then carrying an extension ladder and any other gear they needed started walking across the thin ice towards the screams. The ice was cracking around them as they walked but they kept going until they reached the spot where the guys went through. One man was already dead and the other not far from it but they got him out and into shore where an ambulance was waiting. He was taken to hospital where luckily he survived.
manitoubass2 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 so alot of us have seen dead bodies or helped in a rescue. thats disturbing we rescued two people that anchored a bassboat in the rapids, gnarly experience how fast things happened. second was a guy that swam the rapids. OPP and local anglers all helped in the search. my neighbor found him 4 days later and like many said, ill never forget it
