Was fishing on the NW side of Gull Lake today at Sandy point beach in about 5 ft of water. List my prescription eye glasses. Could not see them as there was a bit of grass on the bottom. Tried a magnetic but no luck. If by chance anybody this year finds a pair of glasses. Pm me. Thanks again.

Hi "K" .... I know exactly were you where anchored, we were parked a bit further east near that pressure ridge. If you have or know someone with a camera, it's not all that difficult to get them out, in the past I've drilled 2-3 holes to make one large hole and used a telescopic golf ball retriever with a small aquarium fish net wired to the far end to retrieve something I lost. With the assistance of the camera and some surgical skills it's an easy extraction. As well, you could try a 4" Williams Flutter spoon with the large treble & side hooks, it would probably work to snag them. I would volunteer to help, unfortunately, I'm in Vegas on my way to California for the winter.

Hope you get them out .... best of luck.

Kinwahkly ... after watching the cell phone recovery video, was wondering if you fished out your glasses ?

if you were in only 5 fow you could use a painters extention bar with a wire on the end to grab them.
