I keep my trotline bait in a minnow bucket tied to a log, it was full of bait AND THEY STOLE IT!!!
I checked a couple of boats but didn't find it.
!!WARNING!! if I catch you running my lines or messin with my bait, I will wrap a gaff hook round your head, cut your fuel line and take your boat plug!
Can't have nuttin these days!
Hate thieves. Sure miss the days when that stuff didn't happen.
I know what you mean JigginPoleJoe. About three weeks ago someone stole all four of my 11ft Wally Marshall jig poles out of my boat while I was in Brookshires buying some oil to fry some bream in. It was broad daylight at 2:00 PM. The only good thing was, they left my tackle box. Cost me around $300.00 to replace all of them.
nothing worse than a theif!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can top all that - some low life stole my 2 year old's motorized JD tractor and charger. Right off our front porch while it was charging. He rode it every evening for at least 2 hours.
I can't comment on this without breaking the language rules. But my best efforts is something like sorry bass turds.
I feel your pain JJoe...........My 13 year old son and i fished Nimrod about 5 weeks ago. I had to leave on Sat for awhile and he stayed with In Laws. He was tooling around on his 2 man boat and set his $ 120.00 (Christmas present and replaced the rod the day before) rod and reel on his Grandpa/s boat (pulled up to the bank). Three men in maybe late 20's launched a Bass Tracker and stole his Rod n Reel. Two boys fishing from the bank saw them take it and the men even ask the boys if it was theirs. When the men returned to the landing my son, his uncle, and My Mother In-law questioned the men at the ramp. My son identified his R&R based on is markings. One man said that it was his pole and would not return it nor admit that he stole it. With the situation being 3 men and me not being present these guys drove away and I have no names or license's or really a very good description of the truck. All I know for sure is the boat was a Bass Tracker.
I wish I would have been there for this little incident. My son would have his pole and my boat paddle may have a few more nicks and scrapes on the end of it. As my log in says, we are new to Crappie fishing and fishing in general. Its not an easy task getting and NOW KEEPING the equipment needed.
If you are the person or persons that had this encounter with my In-laws at the boat ramp at Sunlight Bay on Sat April 19th, I would like to discuss this with you. Thieven Bastards!
Doh...uh nevermind ;)
Maybe a coon walked out on that log and found his dinner already ready to go.
My buddy had his fish cage robbed of Catfish last year on Nimrod. If they would have been caught it would have been bad! For them anyway.
I caught a thief one day , walked out of a store and watched him lift three rods and a tackle box out of the back of my truck. Left him layin on the pavement. Then i was worried someone wouldnt see him and run him over .....so i went back and made him get up and get in his truck !! lol A thief is the worst.
Having lived on Lake Conway most of my life, I have witnessed alot of mischief on that lake. I have had people running my lines for me and I have had a couple of boats get tampered with. I lived on the water and I usually kept my flatbottom boats in the water all of the time behind my house. I have had them come up missing and found them floating in the lake with the rope or chain that had them tied up laying in the boat. I figured it was kids that was up to most of the mischief cause I always got my boat back with the motors and the trolling motors still attached, just drifting around with a empty gas tank. I was :mad: shot :mad: at out there on that lake two different times while out running my trotlines at night, there is no feeling like the feeling I got when I heard a 22 bullet bounce off the side of my boat and when I heard that famous zing that a 22 makes when it ricochets off of some thing:eek:. When I heard that zing and that pop of the bullet on my boat I turn my spot light off real fast, cause that is what they were aiming at. To this day I still dont know who was shooting at me or why. After that incident I moved my trotlines to a different spot, much further out of gunshot range. It was hard enough having to dodge stumps in the dark, but bullets was a whole different ball game.:eek:
I have a new 22 you need. Keltec 22 mag semi auto pistol. 30 round clip. comes with 2. You gang off some rounds from that thing and they will back off.Quote:
