Icefishing mid-March and neighbour brought his brand new radios too keep in touch on the lake. These were a Christmas present from his son and I leaned over the hole and down it went. Thank god I have an underwater camera as I sent it down the hole and sure enough there was the radio 20 feet under water. Hooked up the biggest 5 of diamonds I had and hooked it on the 3rd try. Brought it up but too much water. Gave it back to neighbour at the end of the day and he took it apart and dried it all out. He says it is working just fine but I don't think he will let me use it this spring ice fishing.
Dropped a few lures in the water changing hooks this summer. In too much of a hurry but only lost about $15 worth of stuff so a good year in my books.
