Another Fisherman Cleaned Out


Recommended Posts

Just trying to help someone out a bit here. Got an e-mail from a woman today whose husband had all of his fishing stuff stolen when his garage was broken into a couple of weeks ago. She got my name from the wife of a fishing buddy and she was wondering if I knew of anyplace where he could go and start replacing his stuff - like tackle sales, garage or rummage sales, etc. or if I knew of anyone who was looking to sell some of their tackle.

Here is kind of what he lost so you can have an idea of what he might be looking for: " I know that he had 2 of the St. Croix rods, retail $250-300. I bought him a Shimano Reel , retail $100.00 a few years ago. He had a ton of the Rapala walleye lures, some Musky baits (not too many). He hasn't replaced any of the spinners yet. He bought some of the jigs this weekend along with a Gander Mountain brand combo rod.

He doesn't like a "heavy" rod. He also had a few other reels that were $150-250.

And he had a really nice soft sided green tackle bag/box that held 6 of the plastic organizer deals."

Sounds like he is mostly a walleye and pannie guy.

Anyone know of anyplace or anyone who might be able to help this guy out?

Or - on the other hand - if you hear of anyone trying to unload stuff like this let me know and I will pass it along.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
