    Default St John River Thieves


    As I was headed out to the boat this morning I noticed a deputy in the campground and realized he was doing. A theft report for the neighbor
    I wen to my boat and. Noticed Four combos and three boxes/beads missing. Rough guess of $1100 missing
    Acc Crappie stick 12 footer
    2 BNM Sam Heaton 10 footers
    Ugly stick carbon 6’10” medium light
    3 cadence reels and a green lews Mach 200
    two soft Plano bags one blue and one camo with various baits including bass assassin and pick jigs. Some jigs lead head and some custom painted

    Also a soft bag of trout magnet plastics with jigs.


    20 years of traveling like this and never has happened leaving boat in nearly vacant state parks and stuff In The boat in Illinois.

    Dont. Want to be a downer but please keep an eye out for the stuff.

    even if the people got arrested right now probably nothing would happen as I would have to come down for court which would most likely get continued repeatedly

    The neighbor had five rods taken possibly bass pro brand rods

    On positive note deputy was a really nice and interesting guy

    Sorry to hear about your loss. That’s a small community, hopefully the SO can get early lead and recover your property.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    Was at Paramores camp in Astor a nice place and our second time here. Usually don’t keep boat in water at places. Like to park it next to camper at night to keep an eye on things
    I luckily had extra stuff and thieves picked and chose what to take in boat leaving half the rods

    Sorry to hear of this, basically in my backyard. Too close to home. Sorry they got your good stuff. As Chucker said, I have some stuff if you need it. Hope they get the fools.
