Got all excited about Lake Griffin so got up early, found boat and truck bed with a lot of water sitting in them so pulled to front yard to drain, at 6:30 got in truck and noticed no rods and reels in my holders--someone had helped themselves to 9 rods and reels setup with jigs ready to fish. Just finished with police report and started to wonder what the replacements will be. MAD=yes, about 1/2 sick that people won't leave stuff alone--shu
Sorry to hear this Shu.
Some just figure that anything that just shows up in the front yard early in the morning is scheduled for the trash man.
Too bad you cant hide a rattler in there.
I am absolutely disgusted with some people these days. Shu, I am so sorry.
I can picture the culprit. Stick the poles in him, ties some concrete blocks and show him a good place to fish 40 ft deep.
Bummer, hate to hear that:banghead
get speckanator out of the donut shop and put him on the case--REWARD dozen donuts
Wow.......shu!!
I protect mine with an alarm system sold by Harbor Freight. They run $12.99 specials. Regular $19.99. Used mine last weekend at Crescent. I will be at Crescent Wednesday - Saturday. If you are around, I will show you. Use this in my tournament travels, works. You will probally find that it is someone from the neighborhood or their friends. (words do not describe such a low life's.)
Chuck
Yes chuck they work really well
Shu I am spoo sorry.
Worked most of day on 'the pile in the corner' now have 9 'spider rigging' poles ready to go in the morning(rain or shine). Thanks for the good words and encouragement.--shu
Hate to hear that. Pray for karma,it`s going to get them. Sorry men, good luck when you get out.
hey chuck, I would like some info, we have a harbor freight near. thanks

Sorry that happened to you. I know exactly how that feels. last year my boat was in the water under cover at a fish camp and some low life stole my tackle box and all my rods and reels out while I was charging the batteries getting ready to go out early. First comes shock, then anger, then more anger, then you REALLY get mad enough to kill something!! You work hard for a little time on the water then some low life steals your rods and reels. There's a special place in hell for anybody who steals fishing equiptment!!! Check the local flea market if you can. The cop who did my police report told me that's how they caught the last one's who were doing that.
I will take some pictures and post this evening.Quote:

+hey shu, why not describe as much as possible. some of us might see them ngling a minnow out on the lakes we coud sink their boat and retrive the rods or less fun guess we could call the police
keep checking craigs list in your area.
Probably find them at the Webster flea market.
Can't keep a good man down, hope one of them old one's bring back some olde luck, just plain stink's some people steal !!Quote:

"The wireless receiver in your home will chime when the infrared driveway alert sensor outside detects motion, so you’ll be prepared for that unexpected knock at the door or beep in your driveway. Wireless motion sensor mounts outside on a post or wall, and you can set the receiver anywhere in your house (within 400 ft. of the sensor)."
I might just buy one of those instead of fixing the door bell in the house!
I have one on my driveway......works great we like it.
So I guess that when you are on the road, you put it in your boat and the reciever in your motel room?Quote:

I know several people have had equipment stolen while on the road, let alone the man that was shoot and killed in Jackson, Mississippi. Just looking for some new ideas.
I have been at th Crapppi USA tournament. I will take pictures and post this afternoon when it warms up. Sorry for the delay.Quote:

Sorry too hear about that Shu. Someone bagged an outboard of mine years ago, that still burns. Good luck when you go with the resurrected ones.
You find a place in your boat that the senor will detect someone in your boat, not walking around it. I place mine in the center console and aim it at my storage box. This is where they will attempt to steal from. Every boat is different, it you have a tarp, the unit can be placed anywhere and if someone removes your tarp, it should set off the alarm. Work with it, place your alarm on the ground or trailer and play with it.Quote:
