    Then i stand corrected. I just bought a new shimano Cumulus rod and curado reel and I wont ever leave it in the boat after hearing this story, although I dont think I would anyways but i will be bringin the rest of my stuff back to the cabin for sure.. Stinkin little punks eh? They gotta ruin it for others, its good you got ur stuff back!

     

    yea i learned my lesson for sure, and was honestly suprised we got our gear back, you'd think they would have stole it and left - not use it the next day! I guess I'm lucky they weren't very bright haha :thumbsup_anim:

    Hmmmmm, i dunno JBZ, are you sure it wasnt the marina guy who attempted this and then since you complained he returned it to you that night? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmm!

     

    haha the thought crossed my mind but we heard the kids pull up in the boat and watched them leave within the 10-15mins we were at the truck and they were the only people to come off the dock - also he was gone for the night

    So on the weekend I was up near Whitestone fishing, a friend and I rented a boat from the marina. We finished fishing for the day and docked the boat, left our gear in the boat and walked to the truck which was maybe 80-100m away. We were setting up a propane BBQ when I decided I would go back to the boat and get my camera to take a couple photos. I get to the boat and my stringer and pliers are on the floor in the boat, and a new pack of cigarettes was open with only 2 taken.. It didn't appear that anything else was out of place, but I had been in to a few beverages and it was dark out, so I shrugged it off thinking I was crazy or paranoid. Anyway we pack up and leave for the night.

    The next morning we get back and head out to our first spot. I go to pick up my new mojo bass rod and citica reel, but there was a daiwa reel on my mojo and my citica was gone, my buddies RType rod was gone - the daiwa reel attached to my rod.

     

    We had about 10 rods in the boat - they chose a rod and reel and put it together in a matter of 10mins - while in vision of where we were cooking.. ballsy to say the least. Fortunately my buddy had customized his RType with a little fenwick logo on the bottom.

     

    So we fly back to the marina and speak to the guy who runs it (really nice guy, very helpful!) and we explained the scenario and he told us there were some older teens staying in their parents trailer and he would wait for them at the dock when they come back in fishing. At this point my buddy and I thought it was a real longshot at getting our equipement back, but when we arrived back at the dock that night, the marina guy had our rod and reel for us!! Just amazing - the only downside is I didn't get a chance to have some choice words with them myself! Ah well probably for the better and I'm glad they didn't attempt to take everything!

     

    What about the rest of you? Anyone else run into this type of scenario?

    Ah i'm sorry to hear that, keep your head up, things will get better!

     

    It was definately one of the most difficult times of my life when my alaskan malamute was put down a few years back from throat cancer, took a little less than a year to get another dog (Great Pyrenees) it helped ease the pain and brought new joy to my life for sure, and I know I will never forget my malamute so i was able to gain some peace.

  13. Is it a blue walleye?

    I agree, try calling the MNR in the Nipissing region to get an opinion. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.

    Very good thread by the way. We caught some "blue" looking walleye in Northern Alberta a few years ago, I tend to think it was just a pigment thing and not a true blue.

    My friend has a picture of a "blue" walleye near Loring, ON in winter. It is on the ice and the snow is stained deep blue from the fish...that fish makes me wonder.

    Nipissing also has Blue Perch, we caught them this winter in bunches. They would stain our counters when cleaning them...wonder if that's a related issue at all.

     

    thats interesting, is it the diet that affects the pigmintation?
