Warning! Beware of thieves at La Jolla Shores! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Holy Mackerel · 06-07-2009, 11:32 AM

F-n Thieves!! sorry!

Really sorry to hear about thieves on the launch. I've been nervous in the past about leaving gear on the beach while parking or running back to get my truck.

I often launch solo, as i am sure most of us do, leaving our gear vunerable to theft while parking the car. Between paddle, rods, reels, fishfinder and tackle we're talking about potentially thousands to replace this gear, just left on the beach for 10 or 15 minutes. Good arguement for the buddy system i guess.

Whoa... I found such a radio sitting on the beach, about to be lost to the tide, when I landed at 8:00am. PM me and it will be yours again - I planned to post that I had found it, but you beat me to it.

I sent a message to you Eric to see if the radio you found is mine. It was not on my kayak when I came back from my car when I strapped on my life jacket and saw it was missing. Someone had taken it off of my life jacket prior to my launch. It was strapped onto my life jacket very securely so it wouldn't have fallen off. Maybe they realized it was just for on the water or something and nothing they would need? But I specifically checked for it when I came back to the kayak before pulling the kayak to the water.

I hope this one is mine cause I really do rely on it when out there.

Thanks for posting! I will let you all know if this is it!

Alan C. · 06-07-2009, 04:59 PM

The one that Eric found is probably yours Maggie. I passed Eric and his monster WSB (Good Job!) at the launch and you were the first person I saw on the way out and you told me about the radio.
Your idea about the launch cam is a good one though. Does anyone know if the camera has any recording ability? It'd be nice to be able to catch someone on camera and turn it over to the authorities.

Hey there,

I sent you a message to try to arrange to pick up my radio sometime this week so I can use it but haven't heard back from you. Can you please contact me so that I can get the radio? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

habanero · 06-18-2009, 07:52 AM

I had a similar situation happen to me. I parked and launched but didn't notice my Icom missing until was well past the surf. I assumed it fell off because I wasn't sure if I had clipped in the strap. Now you have me wondering if someone walked off with it. I'll be thinking twice about what I leave in plain sight. I've been taking for granted my theft free record in the past.

BTW: I lost mine a long time ago and have since replaced it.

Alright, I'm not a regular on this site but I'm a bit surprised that more of you aren't backing Maggie up by asking this guy what's going on here.

Here it is over a week later and the guy has not gotten back to her..... what's the story here?

It should not take too much effort to at least have the courtesy to get back to her and let her know what's going on with this radio.

nunyabizness1 · 06-19-2009, 09:38 AM

My radio was returned to me yesterday afternoon! I am very happy to have it back! I go out on the water at La Jolla on my own very frequently and do rely on having the radio as an added measure of safety.

Thanks Eric for the return of my radio! Thanks to Brent at OEX as well!

ronbo613 · 06-23-2009, 06:14 AM

I almost always fished at La Jolla alone. Nearly every time I went out, I had camera gear and a radio. I always kept my rods and gear below deck while I carted my kayak to the beach. I took the cart back to my truck and picked up my expensive and easy to steal gear and took it down to the beach immediately before launching.
La Jolla is a ritzy place, but popular at night with the non-ritzy crowd; especially around the bathrooms by the main parking lot. That's part of the deal, gotta keep on your toes.
Of course, you can lose stuff just about anywhere.

tylerdurden · 06-07-2009, 12:04 PM

That sucks. I usually don't leave my radio or ff on the yak in the morning. Now I really have to remember not to.

What time was it Maggie?
