Fellow Anglers-
If anyone snags a Diawa rod & reel near the eastern most hump out in front of Troy Beach, please let me know as it is probably mine. It went overboard today when I gave the motor some gas, & I discoverd the lure was not secure & in the boat! It’s my favorite pole for trolling, so just in case you snag it, please send me a post.
Other than that, it was a fun day on the river, catching some saugers & silver bass in 20-30″ water depths.
Thanks,
Eleclady
Where’s Troy beach?

Hi. I’m ‘new’. I’m Karl and I’m married to eleclady. I act as her ‘captain’ when we fish the riv.
Troy Beach is due east of the ‘humps’, or what we have called the ‘sunken islands’. South of the I-94 bridge.
We were on the southern end of the larger, eastern hump when her rod went bye-bye. It has my DT-16 shad colored rap on it 
We’ve been reading the posts here for a while. Great site!
See you on the water.
Karl
OK that’s where I thought it was. I didn’t know the name of it. I do here a little South of that area called the scout camp though. I think we’ll be in the area Wed night for our league night.

Welcome to the Best Fishin site on the web Karl & eleclady, hope you find your rig
Karl & eleclady, we were out there today, no luck with your rod or eyes. I’m glad you started this lost and found post!
Let’s see.
Lost:
Green boat bumper last Sunday – Catfish Bar area
Transom mount trolling motor, this spring – somewhere between the humps and Afton.
Ice strainer, last winter – on the north break of the Afton Channel
#14 blue rap – a week ago – south of kinni outside the mouth of a muskie
red handled needle nose pliers – this spring – forgot location.
And fishing partners wonder why I wear my life jacket! 
Wow,
You lost your trolling motor! Guess losing my rod & reel isn’t so bad. 
Weather permitting, we’ll be going out on the river tonight, maybe with some luck we can get into those ski’s.
Eleclady
Well, I should be honest. Out of all those items, my neighbor lost his trolling motor and not me.
I think I’m going to go trolling with a magnet one of these days. Good luck with the Muskies, remember big blue rap…. 
Ok — So I didn’t find your rod and reel, BUT — I fished up a really nice Abu Garcia baitcaster on a 7’+ rod last Sunday on the bar out in front of Bluffs park. Looks like it just went in this year.. reel was a prrrty green color and the eyes on the rod were all in tact. It was loaded with fireline. 
Anyways, if it’s anyone’s here… I didn’t keep it. I leaned it against the signpost the outside the porty potty at the launch. 
…at least I was on the bottom.
Sounds like a nice rig you found. Awfully good of you to leave it for someone else. 
In my search for a new reel, I ended up buying a Abu Garicia Ambassadeur C4. Haven’t been out with it yet, but it should be an upgrade from my Diawa. Now to break it in with a fish
