Went salt water fishing in Indian river today from a walkway, river empties into the Atlantic by New Smyrna beach. We were fishing from a walkway under 4 lane state road 44. It was very windy with gusts 25-30 mph, a gust blew my brand new $15.00 sun hat off my head and into the river, current was so fast I was unable to hook it before it got out of range.
I decided to try to run to the last pier visible a 100+ yards away to try to hook the hat, because the current was so fast I had to run the entire 100 yards with rod to get there before my hat did. I got there just in time to retrieve my hat with a cast before it passed.
Good news I retrieved my hat. Bad news, I'm older than I thought, a 100+ yard sprint was not as easy as it use to be 20 years ago.
