NAC Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Here is the one positive that did happen yesterday. There was this slight problem in which one of Niagara's finest citizens decided to check out my truck without using a key, while I fished at the bottom of the gorge. Nothing of any monetary value was stolen, but my work briefcase for my "real job" was taken and of course it contained invaluable/irreplaceable documents for work! My fault for leaving it visible on the back seat of the truck. Another vehicle just down the road in another parking lot had reported a break in at the same time and there was absolutely nothing in it. I wish a long extended stay in a dank Ontario jail with cellmate "Bubba", to the culprit(s). Anyway..... we fished for just under 2hrs, landed one fish, fought two others and missed about a dozen on the hooksets. Aside from the one expensive/negative event, it was an excellent two hour outing. As for tactics, it really didn't matter as the fish hit every colour and size of roe bag we threw at them under our floats.

DANIMAL Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Nice Niagara steel. I hear that area is bad for vehicle break-ins. Its a shame that its not safe to leave things in a locked car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisher Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I wonder if putting an OPP hat on the dash, or even a decal on the window would keep them away from tampering with your car. Otherwise just keep the door unlocked and leave nothing valuable inside. nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustic-Fisher Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 That sucks!!! Happening all to much as of late!!! Someone was poking around my truck at the Notty the other day!!! The big guy was resting in the back seats and went mental, you could hear the commotion from the river. Sure enough fresh tracks in the mud leading right to the rear of the truck. what a mess that would off been. RF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
