That's just a small sample of the total number of baits I've found this year, many I found were unusable or in bad enough shape that I didn't want to try to sell them. Also found a nice digger anchor 20' up in a tree, a rod and reel cover, a bow fishing arrow, a zebco 808, a BPS rod and reel combo, a rain coat, 3 duck decoys, a drift sock, and I'm sure other stuff I'm forgetting.

I messed up by not taking my canoe out during the very low water conditions we had around here early in the fall.  I'm sure I could have collected a lot of baits off the exposed wood when the water was down three feet or more.

Wow! Quite an impressive haul you scrounged up this year!

Deep, what about the plastic Mallard duck decoy we found
