SANTEE----The Carolina King--- 3-13-3-3-14
Well.......First off, I wasn't super excited about our yearly crappie fishing trip this year due to the weather forecast. But due to the cancellation policy of 30 days or loose 2 $100 deposits on 2 cabins we elected to battle the elements and go anyway. Our group of 3 boats, 6 people are avid crappie fishermen and know the potential of the spring time bite at Santee so we still had a little hope. Monday proved to be as tough as expected howling winds and cold!!!!!! A total of 6 fish were landed in my boat with my other 2 companions striking out at other locations. Tuesday morning met us with rain and wind again ....Still determined we got up and ready only to discover that every rod we had had been stolen during the night only feet from where we slept... These sorry, Low Down, Good For Nothing crooks made off with a total of 58 rods ranging from 16' to 8' mostly Southern Crappie and B&M PST's. They stole a Grizzly cooler, trolling motor battery and even the dip net. We cut our losses and made the trip home after the police report was complete.
I must warn all to be careful as the owner was absolutely no help and even did not want to refund my money for Tuesday night. The officer that came was great and I believe will do all he can to help, he actually is a catfish guide and truly knew our losses. He also said this was not his first trip out there or first problems with the owner.
Good look and LOCK UP!

Wow!Hate hearing of all your bad luck. I know that's a tremendous expense loosing all those rods and reels and other equipment. I would truly hope the crooks try pawning off the goods and get caught. I cant stand a thief!
Good luck getting your stuff back.

Wow that is terrible. I've stayed at Carolina King on 3 occasions, last time for a week and never had any thing bothered. Course my boat was sitting right outside my bedroom window, but I probably would not have heard anything. That is too bad, sorry it happened.

Wow! I'm so sorry to read this. Its terrible that people are the way they are.
I'm praying for y'all. It's hard to imagine the feelings you must have. The frustration, anger and all. I'm sure hoping that LE is able to get the bottom feeders that ruined your time. They will have to face God and answer for the way they lived their lives.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Sorry for your loss! Hope the police catch these crooks!
It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!
