Well the fiance, the daughter and I finally had the chance to head up to lake tarpon and try and catch some crappie. We put in at Anderson park around 1 and drove down to Tarpon Bait and tackle for minnows. Which gave my 3 year old plenty of time to scream as much as she wanted while we drove (one of her favorite parts since she like all little kids likes to make lots of noise). We wound up drifting minnows in 10-12 feet off the pasture point area. The wind was a bit more than I had hoped and I'm aparently lousy at the open water crappie stuff since despite having 6 baits out at different depths we didn't get a single bite in the 2 hours we fished. Not sure what I need to change in my strategy there. Despite that we had a good trip since my daughters happy to catch minnows and the fiance's just likes being on the water.

When we got back to the ramp our day turned sour though. Found the window of my jeep busted in and my car gone through. Not sure how they picked us since we were the only car hit and I don't ever leave anything good visible in the car. They did find the fiance purse pushed under the seat and made a royal mess of everything. Wound up having to cal the ex wife to get the kid since her car seat was covered in shards of glass and we had to start dealing with all the crap that comes with a stolen purse including the only set of keys to our other car.

The cops said they've been there with as many as 5 trucks smashed so wanted to give everyone else a heads up.
