Someone please give us some details on the theft that is going on around the lake. Felt everyone needs to know. Apparently a few places have been hit in the last few weeks. I don't know all the details. This is about all I know. Someone please bring us up to speed and keep your eyes open fro anything suspicious.

Peoples docks and so forth???

No, its mostly been Boat Storage facilities. Some on Holiday Rd and another ob Buford Dam Rd.

i keep my boat a Big Creek Storage and went up there last Sunday to check it out and my trolling motor and Lowrance was gone. Stupid of me to leave it on. They took transducer and everything

Sorry to hear that Bruner. Is there no security at these places?

Not really, just a pad locked gate, and anyone can jump over it. I've been checking craigs list and ebay to see if it pops up somewhere, but after listening to you guys talk about your fancy electronics it looks like i will be going to BPS to get me some, and also find a new place.

never used a boat storage-- is it standard for them to assume responsibility for theft or not? Seems like if the answer's "not", then there's little incentive for them to provide anything other than chainlink and a padlock (for which the number of keys or distribution of the combination is probably not very well controlled).

Really sorry to hear that the scum swam to the surface near your rig, bruner. As a recipient of a visit from such dirtbags myself, I really, really do hope there's a hell....

No it is not standard for them to assume responsibility. Had a high dollar prop stolen several years ago from a storage facility. Feel your pain.

So it sounds like only boat storages have been hit or have any of the marinas on the water been hit? I heard they are prying open the rod lockers and stealing high end reels.

Guys
Its been docks ,storage ,marinas and driveways at homes.They are cherry picking all the good stuff.Be careful and always unload your boat after fishing
