    Default Theft at Barren Fork 8/29/14


    I really enjoy fishing at Barren Fork as a change of pace to Limestone Bay. However I'm always a bit uneasy about parking my truck on the side of Zierdt Rd--mainly concerned about someone crashing into it. I had a great day, even caught a 15 lb Blue Cat! As I was loading the truck to leave, and making multiple trips back down to the water to grab my gear, and eventually drag my jon boat back up the hill someone stopped, jumped out and grabbed the splash-proof box containing my trolling motor battery from inside my truck and sped off................... There is no honor amongst thieves. Be extra careful out there, even in the middle of packing up or unloading.

    Sorry to hear about the thief.

    I park their all the time and hope it never happens to me, I'd be hard pressed not to end up shooting at them.

    By the way, I've never floated any jugs in there, but lots of Catfish come into the area to gorge on Shad in the summer.

    Nice catch.....hate it about your battery though. Somebody tried to steal my boat trailer this summer while I was fishing, they broke the lock but still could not get it off
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    My brother had a boat trailer stole one day while fishing Cotaco creek,sorry mf put a small two man plastic boat on it which you could tell was`nt right and then brought it back to the scene of the crime while we was fishing,he went to the woods for a little relief and we took the trailer and boat and called the law to meet us,you should have seem him trying to explain how his boat was on my brothers trailer. Never will forget that

    Oh by the way Lee thats a fine cat you got there
