Expensive LJ Lesson - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Waterâ€™s Edge

Mr. NiceGuy · 07-24-2015, 02:20 PM

If someone is working that area looking for targets of opportunity, it might be fun to set up a beach chair and umbrella as an incognito stakeout.
Volunteers could set up shifts and take turns for the sake of the the community. Stick your GoPro on a stick in the sand under your umbrella for extra evidence.

Sitting at the beach in the shade is not a bad way to spend the day.

When the culprit is caught in the act, give him a suitable and justifiable beat-down then tie him up with an anchor rope and sit on him until the police arrive to arrest him. If he tries to get away, gaff him.

Post the video of your trophy catch in the Manly Man thread

The thief does sound like he knows the in's and out's of a kayak. How would someone know if something is under the center hatch tackle box? Perp must have seen you store your dry bag during launch or you took the dry bag out to grab your keys when you landed and spotted it then?

I say catch him / them, and cut then down to good size bites for the seals. They have to eat and then they might leave our macs alone.

I agree with what's been said so far.
This thief obviously fishes. And if I remember correctly I think the guy
Had his girlfriend helping, when the
Mirage drive got stolen. I also think he got busted for posting the item for sale.
Shady and sad if he's back in action.
I remember fishing a squid bite and someone pointed this guy out to me. That same day some rods went missing.

Don't we have a photo of his truck/suv? I thought it was posted. I think I remember the vehicle was
Gray with stickers.
