That's basically what we do. We usually fish out of a canoe which makes it easier to find the other end of the line. I'd have to say we get about 90% of our lost hooks/lures. If anyone has fished around the islands just south of Green's they'd know what kind of snags, milfoil and other aquatic hazards exist. Many of the lures hooks we get though are just hanging from the branches along the shoreline. It's just a matter of responsibility to your environment.
