SmokyOkie, sorry to hear about your lose. It really makes anyone mad who has had anything stolen from them. I remember back in my youth years a friend and I were bowfishing an area. We were using my dads 14' aluminum boat that had a 9 hp motor on it. Well we got to an area that we could not bow fish out of the boat so we pulled it up on the bank. the lake was really high at the time and where were in an area that no one had access to. Well guess what, a car came across an open field and went directly to the boat and stole the motor and gas tank. I was never so mad in my life. Had to face dad about it (which he was good) and plus all my hard earned money for the summer now went to replace the motor and gas tank.

Smoky, you state a $500 reward to whom ever leads to info. What if the person who took it brought them back to you and then asked for the $500. He would still be money ahead. Sorry just trying to enlighten the situation a little.

PS: You are welcome to anything I am not using as well. I would hate for a fellow crappie fisherman go without being able to fish.
