Expensive LJ Lesson - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SailorDave · 07-23-2015, 11:52 AM

So the elation I had this morning after landing my first kayak YT (25.5#), was seriously dampened when I got home and found that someone had stolen my dry bag out of the kayak when I was off getting the car. Yup some Assh&1e, opened the center hatch, lifted out the tackle box, and then pulled out the dry bag (with fish finder, VHF, wallet and fishing licenses), and then replaced the box and closed the hatch. SonofaBi%ch!

If anyone happens to find a green drybag around the launch area with anything left in it please let me know.

Thanks

Lame! Maybe the LJ Camera at the launch has a recording of the SOB. Might be worth looing into. Sorry about your loss.

For future...I used to take anything not bolted down to my car with me when I picked it up. Especially during the summer. Lots of A Holes and Thieves at the beach!

That sucks man! Congrats on the first kayak yellowtail though.

This ^^^^ Plus I will greet a fellow yaker if I don't see anyone I know and ask them to watch my chit while I run to get the ride. Most will have your back. Getting stuff jacked sucks donkey balls.

That sucks, and I worry about that happening all the time. I take my wallet and FF with me to the car. Also, I tend to ask fellow yakkers on the beach to watch my stuff until I get back, then return the favor...so far, this has worked well. Sorry to hear about your loss.

Maybe iceman or adi can pull the video from the webcam

h2ofishfo · 07-23-2015, 12:34 PM

Zed · 07-23-2015, 12:57 PM

^Coincidence?
Inside job!

I hate hearing this. Theres so many people around and still some slimy jackhole still thinks its ok to go pokin around other peoples stuff. Never ceases to disgust me.

da22y · 07-23-2015, 01:09 PM

I am gonna bring a big cheap backpak, take most of the expensive staff with me to the truck next time.

Really sad to see this happen, I am gonna take my fishfinder off the kayak as well.

they are as bad as seal , they steal !

driftwood · 07-23-2015, 01:46 PM

I have a hunch the thief also knew the camera has been down.

so go figure.....

cabojohn · 07-23-2015, 01:47 PM

X2 - do NOT leave anything of value on OR inside your kayak...even on the sands of La Jolla. Carry it with you to the car!

Scandalous people suck and they are for sure looking for ANY opportunity!

* Time for a good old fashion LJ sting and beat down?

I am really sorry for your loss. Damn that Sucks!!

John if you needs some muscle I can round up my posse, Jaime he's a real tough guy so tough he refused to join TeamSewer. Kevin tough ex-military guy (never catches fish). I was going to offer up Jesse but he's a Navy boy.

Zed · 07-23-2015, 02:18 PM

Ive got access to an antique bear trap that still works.
Might be interesting.

I hate thieves. Sorry this happened to you and I hope the thieving assholes gets caught.

Iceman · 07-23-2015, 02:37 PM

Just maybe........ the bag slid back inside the hull when you loaded up. Can't believe somebody had that big cajones. If not truly shitty thing to have happen.

monstahfish · 07-23-2015, 02:41 PM

I can help! John might be too tired from wrestling some big fish!

Congrats on the yellow, and I really hope you get your stuff back.

I seriously loathe people who steal things. I find that low-life mentality hard to fathom.

BUTT HAY --- I have another idea: Since your tackle box was still in place, is it possible that your dry bag shifted locations in the hull?

In my Outback, on multiple occasions, I have put things in any of the three hatches and they have vanished, only to wash out with a whoosh of water at another time.

Things have a tendency to get stuck in weird areas of the inside of the hull, even when I try to crank my neck around the corners to look for them visually. There are blind spots I can't see or reach with my arms.

The easiest way to knock things out that I have "lost" is when I have a few gallons of water at either end, and slosh it back and forth. My flip-flops, lunch box, grapefruits rolling around, etc., show up like magic at one end or the other.

I hope you find your things.

EDIT: Sorry Iceman -- I responded before I got to your post. I should finish reading threads before I start blabbing. It's typical.

skrilla · 07-23-2015, 02:48 PM

Post up exactly what you had. Idiots have posted hot items and have gotten caught on here before.
