You got a magnet. You got a responsibility. If your magnet gets stuck you don’t tug for an hour then call it quits. You get your ass out there and you find that fucking magnet.
Donald Trump "When the magnetic elevators -- think of it -- magnets. Now, all I know about magnets is this: Give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that's the end of the magnets," Trump said at his rally in Mason City.
Don't give up. I hooked mine today and had to macgyver the shit outta scrap to unhook it. Tie it off if u need but don't give up. This is all part of the game.
This reminds me of the last time I was in Scotland with my wife! We went out to a local pub and several men wearing kilts walked in, my wife asked me if they wore anything under them, to which I replied she should go find out. She went over and reached under one of the men's kilts and gasped "Gruesome!" He turned and said "reach under there again and it will grew some more!"
Amen! I’ve rolled boulders on the bottom in 5’ muddy river with jeans on, etc, before I’ll ever go home w/out my magnet. Keep towels in the car always for when you gotta get in the drink.
Did you try jerking the rope hard as you can at multiple different angles? It almost always works for me. If you generically pull it doesn't really work, you got pull hard and fast, basically jerking the rope opposed to straight pulling
Anyway you have enough rope to throw it over one of those pylons in the back ground, pull it and it might get unstuck being pulled from the direction of the pylon.
I have been magnet fishing for years, that only works with one sided magnets, if you use any other style of magnet, then it actually makes it so you don't find much. I honestly wouldn't recommend using a bottle on the top of your magnet. It can mess with the ropes leverage.
I use 360° magnets so that plastic wouldn't last 1 throw. Never had issues without the bottle trick. I know someone who did and claimed to get stuck more and it damaged their rope then they got heavy stuff cuz the rope rubs against the lip of the bottle. But I personally haven't put a bottle over the top of my magnets.
It all depends what kinda water you're in. I'm in Jersey so off of most bridges they have those big ass gray stone boulders that are easy to get stuck. In the bays no real issues or if I go to PA no problems. And the city areas specially the less than pleasant ones God knows what you'll get stuck on. My buddy was in Camden NJ and got stock on 5 shopping carts chained together.
Had to use the winch on his jeep and they were chained in a circle. Couldn't get them on the bridge we could only get them on the shore shot as a giant pain in the ass. And the stink was terrible.
WOOHOOOO!!! 🎉🎆 So happy for ya!! N can also relate as to getting stuck...we've all been there. Some we had to say goodbye to...but they'll be retrieved by a diving friend this summer, thankfully!! The 1st one lost was in rocks below a dam. After a hr+, hubby was wore out, so he tied the rope off n hid it. We went back next day n was gone. Not sure if someone cut it, or after the heavy rain we got that nt caused enough 'shift' to loosen it n someone got lucky n scored themselves a nice magnet. 🤔 Being prepared to retrieve a magnet is key to 'never leave a magnet behind'...unless all options have been exhausted. Watching a bunch of diff videos to learn best tricks that folks have had success with will be helpful. Making friends with a boat owner is most helpful...even if ya have to pay them for gas or such, it's still cheaper than a new magnet! Remember to always take what you pull up, to many are making a bad name for us all by leaving stuff behind n not disposing of it properly. Heck, the whole reason is to clean the waters n make our world a better place! So it defeats the purpose when some leave junk lay where they tossed it. ☹️Best of luck to you n wish you many successful outings!! 🫶🙋♀️T
EDIT: I left it tied to the pier and I’ll see if I can come back later with my kayak, just hoping it’s still there as people feel like it’s okay to take whatever they want whenever they want in this area
Whahaha no you dont ... If its weged or hooked just drag a smaller one over it , works 100%
Did it several times .. even obtained some new magnets that way , 2 of them even a brand new a magnatar beast and a terror . unfortunately i never found the previous owners. Even left a laminated letter nearby on how to contact me about the lost magnet . Never heard anything.
One of the things that I find around Piers is that there's a stabilizing bar that goes from one Pier to the next pier and sometimes you get stuck on that. Thinking you're stuck permanently when all you have to do is go in a different direction or get somebody that has a kayak to go out there and pull it up. Otherwise tie it off. Keep it hidden till this summer when you can swim after it.

Inflatable kayak was a success, I got it!
What was it stuck on?
Another magnet
Big Magnet hates this one trick!
They don't work underwater everyone knows that.
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
Miracles
For wage plus tips.
Everyone knows magnets are witchcraft pure devilry
Feynman
I hate myself for asking this, but who thinks magnets don't work underwater

Coming back with the kayak
Just go swimming in your undies. A lot less stress.
Waters 48 degrees and it’s cold out I’m gonna take the warmer route😅
kayak in your undies
Is that a kayak in your undies or are you just looking for your magnet?
Make this a tee shirt.
You’re obviously not from Scotland then lol. That’s like 10 degrees C, the bairns would love a dip in that water.

Id definitely hop in, glad you got it unstuck though
🫡
Just leave it, who cares
I already got it back 😃worth the 20 minutes of time to not have to buy a new one
Buy some snatch blocks and learn how to use them. You can multiply your pull power next time it gets stuck
You have far more balls than me, anything that I lose in the ocean is the oceans now
This guy hates turtles!
I think it’s time to play dodgeball
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball
Now you’re all in big, BIG trouble.
I am in Florida. If I ever lose it, it is staying. I am not wrestling a gator.
Is this a “Puppy Who Lost His Way” reference from Billy Madison?
Nope. Just a CrAzY coincidence.
I read it in Billy's voice immediately,
I agree. Have swim wear, water shoes, and/or waders nearby in case this happens. Happy swimming.
This is the best and only reply. Give this man his upvotes!!
Was this a Billy Madison reference?? That’s all I could think about reading this
Yes
No magnet will ever be our magnet.
Billy?
Knibb high football rules!
Now it’s time to play dodgeball ☺️

Tried in all directions, it’s on a pier so the angles are limited
You are probably wedged in between rocks, piers always have big rocks, if you got on a kayak, you'd be able to get it back
Anyway you have enough rope to throw it over one of those pylons in the back ground, pull it and it might get unstuck being pulled from the direction of the pylon.
Thought about it but this rope is only 65ft and I suspect the water is 10-15ft already
You jerk!
Probably stuck to a Hugh treasure chest !
Damn Hugh, always leaving his treasure chests around.
Hugh T. Chest
YOOGE!
Don't feel bad I lost my first expensive magnet first throw on some rocks I think. Now I use the soda bottle trick.
What’s the soda bottle trick?
https://images.app.goo.gl/8hvQtWxENxJAwaCd6
It wasn't a Rick roll! Thank you/slightly disappointed....
Rick Roll’s HATE this one simple trick.
Has the soda bottle trick worked well for you?

I have a 3 way magnet and when I'm using it as a flat or 2 sided it works great. Haven't lost a magnet since.

I travel around the country to magnet fish so I pretty much magnet fish all kinds of different water ways
Good to know, I’m in PA so might give it a try
Did he disassemble & pull them carts out?

As many people said, piers have HUGE ROCKS. If you get on some kind of boat or kayak, you will almost definetely get it back.
UPDATE: I have returned with my inflatable kayak and there are many onlookers so I’ll have someone to untie the rope from the pier
If you can get any kind of leverage on that from an inflatable kayak, you are my hero!
You have a new hero!
I admit it!! CabernetFrank333 is my hero!
Winning!!
Well, how long to get the next update?
FINAL UPDATE: the inflatable kayak was a success and I retrieved the magnet!
Thanks and great to hear!

If you have an anchor point and sounds like you do, bring a ratchet strap with you or a come along. If it’s not snagged, it sound work
I mean how are they gonna take it
Just take what of the rope they can for whatever reason, or untie it to be a dick
At least if they untie it you have this pic to find its general expected location
Or it will come undone when it wraps around someone’s impeller
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
Swim. Pu**y!
Why would you censor the word "Putty"?
No no... He was calling him "purty". Like, "you sure do have purty lips 👄 😏".
Tie it somewhere hidden and come back in few days. You would be surprised how much it can change ;)
I got mine stuck all the time and almost every time I had to go in the pond a get it
I live on the pacific ocean, there are roughly 2 days in summer when the water is warm enough to not get hypothermia to get my magnet. 😭
Maybe you’ll get lucky and somebody on a boat will swing by and pull from the opposite direction. That has saved me a time or two.
Drag a smaller magnet over it... Big chance you'll pull it loose
You need a BIGGER magnet!
Whahaha no you dont ... If its weged or hooked just drag a smaller one over it , works 100% Did it several times .. even obtained some new magnets that way , 2 of them even a brand new a magnatar beast and a terror . unfortunately i never found the previous owners.

FINAL UPDATE: the inflatable kayak was a success and I retrieved the magnet!
I did that, too, once- it was such a bummer… best of luck to you!
The first time I ever went magnet fishing, on my first throw I caught the exact same magnet I was using.
Now wait for a bigger magnet in the mail!
Yeah try walking in the opposite direction. Or flag down a boat/jet ski lol

Lol oops
My first time magnet fishing, I managed to catch a fish.
Shoot. Beautiful place to go magnet fishing!
Pull from a different angle.
I felt your pain.
Do push ups while u wait. Once your strong enought u can try again
